Renewed interest in research methods used in cognitive translation and interpreting studies (CTIS) has led to increased reflection on the nature of research and experimental design, internal and external validity, and the type and nature of experimental tasks. Of particular concern is the extent to which valid generalization can be made from empirical studies of translation, interpreting, and their associated cognitive behaviors as objects of study. This article traces the definition and history of ecological validity in the extant literature on research methods and philosophy of science, emphasizing three considerations: the experimental setting, the stimuli under investigation, and the behavioral response of participants. Subsequently, we discuss potential misunderstandings or misapplications of appeals to ecological validity, including mundane realism, naturalistic tasks, and various data collection methods. A final section describes key points to consider for research in CTIS. Throughout, the argument considers tradeoffs among various categories of validity as well as the importance of aligning experimental design with research goals. This extensive engagement with a singular aspect of validity is provided to encourage deeper reflection and better communication around the topic of ecological validity.

Organizational Setting The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) is an international financial institution and a specialized United Nations agency dedicated to eradicating rural poverty and hunger. It does so by investing in rural people. IFAD finances programmes and projects that increase agricultural productivity and raise rural incomes, and advocates at the local, national and international level for policies that contribute to rural transformation. As part of the External Relations and Governance Department (ERG), the Office of the Secretary of IFAD (SEC) is composed of the Front Office, the Conference and Languages Services (CLS) Office, and the Institutional Governance and Member Relations (IGMR) Office. The Office of the Secretary of IFAD is responsible for the effective and efficient planning and organization of IFAD's governing body meetings as well as for establishing, building and effectively maintaining relations with IFAD's Member States and its Representatives to the governing bodies. Conference and Language Services ensures the efficient programming and servicing of IFAD meetings, ensures the provision of editing, translation and terminology in IFAD's four official languages (Arabic, English, French and Spanish), and, on request, the provision of language processing of non-official languages. It also sets the linguistic standards for the organization, and establishes and periodically revises editorial and translation policies and procedures for official documentation. In addition, the team is engaged in maintaining a state-of-the-art knowledge base of linguistic expertise in all official languages to ensure high-quality and cost-effective services. The Spanish Senior Language Services Specialist works under the overall strategic, policy and management guidance of the Secretary of IFAD and the direct supervision of the Chief, Conference and Language Services. Job Role The Senior Language Services Specialist provides accurate, timely and stylistically appropriate translations into one of the IFAD main languages of texts written mainly in English for distribution to Member States and/or members of the Secretariat. Their duties may include revision of translations done by other staff and the planning and coordination of the work of small groups of translators. The Senior Language Services Specialist translates and self-revises a range of administrative, legal, economic, scientific and technical texts, particularly in the field of finance, agricultural and rural development. The incumbent applies analytical, linguistic and drafting skills to translating and self-revising texts. The incumbent checks own work for accuracy, completeness, comprehensibility, style and presentation and is responsible for the quality of the translation of the texts. Within their areas of responsibility, Senior Specialists exercise a high degree of independence in providing the delivery of language services in the respective language. Senior Specialists may have direct or delegated responsibility in organizing and coordinating the work of teams of translators or lower-level staff. The incumbent is a Senior Language Services Specialist in Spanish. Key Functions and Results 1. MANAGEMENT OF TRANSLATION: As the primary function, the Senior Language Services Specialist revises in the target language from two other languages of the Organization, translations, including summary records, prepared by staff at lower levels and/or by free-lance and contractual translators, on a wide range of political, social, legal, economic, financial administrative, scientific and technical subjects or on a more limited range of subjects requiring considerable specialization. In particular, accountabilities may include but are not limited to: a. Translate, mainly from English and normally from two languages of the Organization, revise and self-revise, especially important, complex, technical and urgent texts for issue without further revision. b. In the case of both translation and revision, produce versions in the target language that reflect the more skilled point of view and approach of a senior translator or reviser and which are, in terms of accuracy, completeness, meaning, style and effectiveness, the equivalent of the original text, adapted as necessary to the intended target readership. c. Such translations and revisions use the most appropriate range of vocabulary and professional, scientific or technical concepts and terms, and incorporate the results of any supplementary research by the incumbent as may be necessary to solve problems of terminology and meaning, or any consultations with substantive units concerning manifest or possible inconsistencies or errors in the original text, including the originator's mistranslation or misinterpretation of source material. d. Provide authoritative and comprehensive answers to queries from translation suppliers on a variety of translation issues and on the specifics; develop and update translation guidelines, reusable training materials, and reference materials; and contribute to the definition and implementation of translation quality assurance measures. 2. LINGUISTIC RESEARCH: The Senior Language Services Specialist carries out linguistic research and assists in compiling, developing and maintaining a uniform terminology suitable for translation of the documentation issued by the Organization, taking into account the terminology in use in the organizations of the United Nations system and incorporating it into the terminology database of the IFAD Language Services. The incumbent liaises with author units and other units involved in document production to harmonize the translation in the various languages and conducts supplementary research to resolve problems of terminology and meaning, and consults with substantive units regarding possible inconsistencies or errors in the original text. 3. MANAGEMENT OF COMPUTER-ASSISTED TRANSLATION AND TECHNOLOGY TOOLS: The Senior Language Services Specialist: a. Keeps abreast of developments in computer-assisted translation and technology tools (CAT tools) in order to promote their use within the unit. b. Participates in the development and the use of computer-assisted translation and terminology tools, providing regular feedback on and recommendations for their application within the Service. 4. MANAGERIAL FUNCTIONS: The Senior Language Services Specialist at this level has typically the accountability for integrity, transparency, and equity in the management of IFAD resources. This includes: a. Depending on the structure and staffing of the translation service concerned, has direct or delegated responsibility for: - Organizing and coordinating the work of teams of translators of the same language group, and monitoring progress of such work in relation to an agreed schedule, or coordinating the work of revisers engaged in the preparation of final versions of a text in several languages for simultaneous issue before or during a meeting; and
- Guiding and training translators and trainee revisers, grading tests of candidates for employment, including prospective contractual translators, and providing evaluations on lower-level staff for use in performance appraisals by higher-level staff.
b. Resource management by providing strategic and data input into the divisional budget preparation exercises. c. Knowledge and content management by ensuring that knowledge content within functional area is continuously updated and available to colleagues, and best practices are continuously identified, documented and distributed. d. Information Technology management through leveraging ICT functionality for improved business results, simplification of translation process and improved client services. Key Performance Indicators The Senior Language Specialist is accountable for (i) translation, revision and self-revision of texts covering a broad range of scientific, technical, administrative and legal subjects, ensuring that translations are equivalent in meaning and style to the original texts; (ii) research points of terminology, language and subject matter and assist in the development of the central terminology database and reference archive; and (iii) provide training and guidance to (contracted) translators as necessary. Decisions take the form of individual judgements and final determinations, often based on research conducted by the incumbent. They include the suitability of translations in terms of accuracy, completeness, technical competence, clarity and readability, and of producing a revised text or a self-revised translation which is ready for processing in final form, and the determination of appropriate terminology. Given the nature of the tasks and the degree of independence at this level, errors could have a disruptive effect on the processing and utilization of documentation for publication or at meetings could affect the quality and acceptability of the Organization's services in the target language and could have financial, political, technical or operational implications.

La conférence internationale ainsi que les colloques regroupent des personnes qui sont venues de différents horizons et qui s’expriment dans différents langages. Donc, pour que chacun puisse adhérer à la conversation, il est nécessaire d’utiliser un système de traduction simultané. D’où la nécessité d’adopter des équipements nécessaires pour permettre aux participants de suivre le déroulement du sujet débattu. Mais quels sont les équipements nécessaires et plus adaptés pour permettre une interprétation simultanée ? Et comment les trouver ? Découvrez tout ce qu’il faut savoir dans cet article. Définition de l’interprétation simultanée Une interprétation simultanée représente le type d’usage des langages qui sont complexes. Une interprète utilise des matériels spécialisés sans fil et travaille à l’intérieur d’une cabine calme et insonore, communément appelée cabine pour interprétation simultanée. Tout ce qu’il faut savoir sur les matériels d’interprétation simultanée Actuellement, la plupart des conférences suivent le mode à interprétation simultanée, d’ailleurs les producteurs de ces équipements sont de plus en plus nombreux. Il est important de bien choisir les équipements pour interprétation simultanée en bonne qualité et de faire attention au bon marché. La meilleure option est de chercher auprès des sociétés spécialisées pour ce domaine, mais non pas auprès d’une entreprise vidéaste ou audiovisuelle. En général, les agences de traduction et d’interprétation disposent des équipements qui lui sont propres, sinon elles ont une relation professionnelle avec d’autres entreprises spécialisées. Pour débuter sur les équipements d’interprétations simultanés, il existe notamment sept choses à savoir. Ceux-ci se composent de trois sortes de configurations possibles et quatre équipements qui se trouvent à l’intérieur de la cabine d’interprétation simultanée : Installation permanente C’est un système pour l’interprétation simultanée qui est intégré constamment dans l’installation lors d’une conférence. Les interprètes travaillent dans des cabines avec quelques portes. La configuration est plus pratique et confortable, mais elle est presque immobile. Configuration portable Les hôtels et quelques endroits ne disposent pas d’une installation permanente. Donc, des cabines mobiles ou portables sont à amener et à installer avant de commencer la conférence. Chaque cabine doit contenir au moins deux interprètes par langue. Pour les grandes conférences, elles sont au nombre de 3 par langue et par cabine. Une cabine portable a la même configuration qu’une cabine fixe, comme la ventilation ainsi que l’éclairage. Équipement de chuchotement C’est un ensemble mobile qui est composé de récepteurs sans fil et d’un émetteur sans fil portable. Il est intéressant pour les particip

L’un des enjeux principaux pour une entreprise, c’est de communiquer avec son audience pour bâtir de solides communautés sur les réseaux sociaux. Pour de nombreuses marques et entreprises, le réseau social Twitter est un canal de communication privilégié pour rester au contact de leurs clients. Aujourd’hui, Twitter compte près de 217 millions d’utilisateurs et autant de potentiels clients pour une entreprise. Axer la notoriété de sa marque en travaillant sa visibilité sur Twitter est un excellent moyen de développer la croissance de son entreprise en France ou à l’international. Si vous bénéficiez déjà d’une solide communauté sur Twitter et que vous souhaitez mettre en place une stratégie de communication multilingue, laissez-nous vous guider sur les bonnes pratiques pour traduire les tweets en différentes langues. Pourquoi faut-il traduire les tweets en anglais ? Traduire les tweets pour internationaliser son entreprise Utilisé par de nombreux professionnels, le réseau social Twitter est un canal de communication incontournable pour accroître sa notoriété digitale et développer son entreprise. Son nombre d’utilisateurs au quotidien fait de lui l’endroit idéal pour cultiver des liens avec ses clients et créer de nouvelles opportunités de business. Pour savoir si vous devez impérativement traduire les tweets en anglais, commencez par vous interroger sur la stratégie et la vision que vous souhaitez conférer à votre entreprise puis, fixez-vous des objectifs. Si vous avez pour objectif de développer vos produits ou vos services à l’international, vous pouvez utiliser Twitter pour faire connaître votre entreprise, trouver de nouveaux clients et ainsi développer vos ventes. Pour cela, il vous faudra nécessairement mettre en place une stratégie de communication multilingue comprenant la traduction de vos tweets. C’est le meilleur moyen pour que vos followers étrangers adhèrent à vos services. L’influence de la langue anglaise dans le monde du business Pour faire connaître votre entreprise internationalement grâce à Twitter, on ne peut que vous conseiller de vous adapter à la langue de votre cible. Traduire les tweets en anglais peut apparaître comme une stratégie pertinente car elle vous permettra de toucher une plus large cible de clients potentiels. L’anglais est l’une des langues les plus parlées dans le monde. Ce qui n’est pas étonnant puisqu’elle est la langue officielle de 53 pays et que de nombreux pays sont multilingues. Côté professionnel, on considère l’anglais comme la langue du business. Elle est fréquemment employée dans les domaines de la technologie, de la science ou du commerce. Pour ce qui est du milieu entrepreneurial, l’anglais permet de fluidifier la communication entre l’entreprise et ses clients mais aussi entre les collaborateurs d’une même entreprise internationale. Développer une stratégie de communication multilingue pour élargir son audience Si vous avez pour objectif de développer la notoriété de votre entreprise à l’international, il vous faudra mettre en œuvre une stratégie multilingue pour toucher une clientèle internationale et développer considérablement vos offres ou vos services. D’une part, interrogez-vous sur la langue que parlent les cibles que vous souhaitez toucher. Comprenez bien que si vous vous adressez en français à un public cible qui parle le chinois, vous n’arrivez jamais à les convaincre d’acheter votre produit. Alors que si vous vous adaptez à lui, en adoptant ses usages, vous aurez plus de chances de réussir à le convaincre.

Les intelligences artificielles sont désormais capables de traduire une très grande quantité de langues différentes, rendant presque accessible le vieux rêve d'un monde où la barrière linguistique serait abolie. Meta, la maison mère de Facebook, a annoncé mercredi que son intelligence artificielle dans ce domaine était désormais capable de traduire 200 langues entre elles, quelle que soit la combinaison, contre 100 jusqu'à maintenant. "Beaucoup" des langues concernées par cette extension "n'étaient pas accessibles pour l'instant à la traduction automatique", s'est félicité Mark Zuckerberg, le fondateur de Meta dans un post de blog. Cette annonce est un exemple de la course à la traduction automatique chez les grands groupes d'internet, soucieux de rendre leurs services et produits disponibles pour n'importe quel habitant de la planète. Des chercheurs de Google avaient ainsi publié en mai un article scientifique intitulé "Construire des systèmes de traduction automatique pour les 1.000 prochaines langues", dont le titre résume bien l'ambition des spécialistes. Les intelligences artificielles mises au point par Google, Microsoft ou Meta sont désormais capables de traduire des langues pour lesquelles il existe très peu de données parallèles, c'est-à-dire des langues qui ont été très peu traduites dans un quelconque langage. Elles permettent une traduction entre deux langues très localisées sur la planète, comme le quechua (parlé notamment au Pérou) et le peul (langue d'Afrique de l'ouest), même si aucun humain ne s'est jamais attelé à cette tâche. L'enjeu de la traduction automatique "est particulièrement important pour Facebook, qui doit parvenir à filtrer les messages de haine" qui apparaissent dans le monde entier, dans toutes les langues, souligne notamment François Yvon, chercheur au CNRS et spécialiste du traitement du langage. La traduction automatique peut permettre notamment aux modérateurs en langue anglaise d'intervenir sur des contenus publiés dans d'autres langues, explique-t-il. Reste à évaluer la fiabilité de ces outils. Meta indique que son nouveau système est capable de performances "44% supérieures" à celles de son précédent modèle à 100 langues. "Pour certaines langues africaines et indiennes, cette différence dépasse 70% par rapport aux systèmes de traduction récents", fait également valoir l'entreprise. Mais pour François Yvon, les traductions automatiques fournies par les moteurs de Google ou de Facebook resteront forcément inégales en qualité en fonction des langues. - Un jour, parler en 200 langues - "Les langues très traduites, comme les langues européennes, conserveront probablement toujours un avantage, estime-t-il. Diagnostic voisin pour Vincent Godard, le PDG de Systran, entreprise française pionnière dans la traduction automatique qui travaille de son côté sur 56 langues. La technologie que ce groupe utilise est au départ la même que celle de Meta et Google, mais elle a été enrichie par le travail de vrais linguistes pour éviter les erreurs, raconte-t-il. "Quand on travaille sur la traduction d'un manuel de montage d'un avion de chasse, on ne peut pas se permettre une seule erreur", alors que celles-ci peuvent être admissibles quand il s'agit de traduire un avis sur un restaurant, détaille-t-il. Alors, est-on proche de disposer de traduction automatique de la parole, pour pouvoir parler en direct avec n'importe qui sur la planète, par exemple dans le futur metavers? "On n'y est pas encore, mais on y travaille", répond Antoine Bordes, le directeur général de Fair, laboratoire de recherche en intelligence artificielle de Meta. "Nous avons un autre projet sur la traduction automatique de la parole, qui pour l'instant fonctionne avec beaucoup moins de langages", indique-t-il. "Mais l'intérêt sera de connecter les deux projets, pour qu'un jour on puisse être capable de parler dans 200 langues en gardant les intonations, l'émotion, les accents...", anticipe-t-il.

On June 23, 2022, the Joint General Assembly (JGA) of EU interpreters representing their collective voted unanimously to stop remote interpreting. After negotiations seeking improved work conditions failed, the group adopted a resolution to go on strike on June 27. This was communicated via email messages seen by Slator where the JGA delegation informed EU staff and accredited freelance interpreters of their decision.

Organizational Setting The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) is an international financial institution and a specialized United Nations agency dedicated to eradicating rural poverty and hunger. It does so by investing in rural people. IFAD finances programmes and projects that increase agricultural productivity and raise rural incomes, and advocates at the local, national and international level for policies that contribute to rural transformation. As part of the External Relations and Governance Department (ERG), the Office of the Secretary of IFAD (SEC) is composed of the Front Office, the Conference and Languages Services (CLS) Office, and the Institutional Governance and Member Relations (IGMR) Office. The Office of the Secretary of IFAD is responsible for the effective and efficient planning and organization of IFAD's governing body meetings as well as for establishing, building and effectively maintaining relations with IFAD's Member States and its Representatives to the governing bodies. Conference and Language Services ensures the efficient programming and servicing of IFAD meetings, ensures the provision of editing, translation and terminology in IFAD's four official languages (Arabic, English, French and Spanish), and, on request, the provision of language processing of non-official languages. It also sets the linguistic standards for the organization, and establishes and periodically revises editorial and translation policies and procedures for official documentation. In addition, the team is engaged in maintaining a state-of-the-art knowledge base of linguistic expertise in all official languages to ensure high-quality and cost-effective services. The Spanish Senior Language Services Specialist works under the overall strategic, policy and management guidance of the Secretary of IFAD and the direct supervision of the Chief, Conference and Language Services. Job Role The Senior Language Services Specialist provides accurate, timely and stylistically appropriate translations into one of the IFAD main languages of texts written mainly in English for distribution to Member States and/or members of the Secretariat. Their duties may include revision of translations done by other staff and the planning and coordination of the work of small groups of translators. The Senior Language Services Specialist translates and self-revises a range of administrative, legal, economic, scientific and technical texts, particularly in the field of finance, agricultural and rural development. The incumbent applies analytical, linguistic and drafting skills to translating and self-revising texts. The incumbent checks own work for accuracy, completeness, comprehensibility, style and presentation and is responsible for the quality of the translation of the texts. Within their areas of responsibility, Senior Specialists exercise a high degree of independence in providing the delivery of language services in the respective language. Senior Specialists may have direct or delegated responsibility in organizing and coordinating the work of teams of translators or lower-level staff. The incumbent is a Senior Language Services Specialist in Spanish. Key Functions and Results 1. MANAGEMENT OF TRANSLATION: As the primary function, the Senior Language Services Specialist revises in the target language from two other languages of the Organization, translations, including summary records, prepared by staff at lower levels and/or by free-lance and contractual translators, on a wide range of political, social, legal, economic, financial administrative, scientific and technical subjects or on a more limited range of subjects requiring considerable specialization. In particular, accountabilities may include but are not limited to: a. Translate, mainly from English and normally from two languages of the Organization, revise and self-revise, especially important, complex, technical and urgent texts for issue without further revision. b. In the case of both translation and revision, produce versions in the target language that reflect the more skilled point of view and approach of a senior translator or reviser and which are, in terms of accuracy, completeness, meaning, style and effectiveness, the equivalent of the original text, adapted as necessary to the intended target readership. c. Such translations and revisions use the most appropriate range of vocabulary and professional, scientific or technical concepts and terms, and incorporate the results of any supplementary research by the incumbent as may be necessary to solve problems of terminology and meaning, or any consultations with substantive units concerning manifest or possible inconsistencies or errors in the original text, including the originator's mistranslation or misinterpretation of source material. d. Provide authoritative and comprehensive answers to queries from translation suppliers on a variety of translation issues and on the specifics; develop and update translation guidelines, reusable training materials, and reference materials; and contribute to the definition and implementation of translation quality assurance measures. 2. LINGUISTIC RESEARCH: The Senior Language Services Specialist carries out linguistic research and assists in compiling, developing and maintaining a uniform terminology suitable for translation of the documentation issued by the Organization, taking into account the terminology in use in the organizations of the United Nations system and incorporating it into the terminology database of the IFAD Language Services. The incumbent liaises with author units and other units involved in document production to harmonize the translation in the various languages and conducts supplementary research to resolve problems of terminology and meaning, and consults with substantive units regarding possible inconsistencies or errors in the original text. 3. MANAGEMENT OF COMPUTER-ASSISTED TRANSLATION AND TECHNOLOGY TOOLS: The Senior Language Services Specialist: a. Keeps abreast of developments in computer-assisted translation and technology tools (CAT tools) in order to promote their use within the unit. b. Participates in the development and the use of computer-assisted translation and terminology tools, providing regular feedback on and recommendations for their application within the Service. 4. MANAGERIAL FUNCTIONS: The Senior Language Services Specialist at this level has typically the accountability for integrity, transparency, and equity in the management of IFAD resources. This includes: a. Depending on the structure and staffing of the translation service concerned, has direct or delegated responsibility for: - Organizing and coordinating the work of teams of translators of the same language group, and monitoring progress of such work in relation to an agreed schedule, or coordinating the work of revisers engaged in the preparation of final versions of a text in several languages for simultaneous issue before or during a meeting; and
- Guiding and training translators and trainee revisers, grading tests of candidates for employment, including prospective contractual translators, and providing evaluations on lower-level staff for use in performance appraisals by higher-level staff.
b. Resource management by providing strategic and data input into the divisional budget preparation exercises. c. Knowledge and content management by ensuring that knowledge content within functional area is continuously updated and available to colleagues, and best practices are continuously identified, documented and distributed. d. Information Technology management through leveraging ICT functionality for improved business results, simplification of translation process and improved client services. Key Performance Indicators The Senior Language Specialist is accountable for (i) translation, revision and self-revision of texts covering a broad range of scientific, technical, administrative and legal subjects, ensuring that translations are equivalent in meaning and style to the original texts; (ii) research points of terminology, language and subject matter and assist in the development of the central terminology database and reference archive; and (iii) provide training and guidance to (contracted) translators as necessary. Decisions take the form of individual judgements and final determinations, often based on research conducted by the incumbent. They include the suitability of translations in terms of accuracy, completeness, technical competence, clarity and readability, and of producing a revised text or a self-revised translation which is ready for processing in final form, and the determination of appropriate terminology. Given the nature of the tasks and the degree of independence at this level, errors could have a disruptive effect on the processing and utilization of documentation for publication or at meetings could affect the quality and acceptability of the Organization's services in the target language and could have financial, political, technical or operational implications. Working Relationships Internally, the Senior Language Specialist liaises with author units and other units involved in document production, to clarify difficulties arising from texts submitted for translation as to ensure that there is neither mistranslation nor misinterpretation of source material.

Interpreters, beware! Agencies are making offers of work at the European Parliament for the week of 11th July 2022. This offer may be an attempt to undermine legitimate industrial action by interpreters at the EP.
Please consider carefully whether you want to accept a contract under these conditions. The European Parliament has a collective agreement with AIIC (acting on behalf of member and non-member interpreters) which this recruitment is in breach of. Agreements on working conditions at international institutions which AIIC negotiates for member and non-member interpreters are an industry benchmark. To undermine them is to undermine the whole market. Please think about the long term.

Meta, la société mère de Facebook, a annoncé mercredi qu’une version actualisée de son moteur de traduction linguistique basé sur l’apprentissage automatique peut désormais traiter 200 langues différentes. Cette technologie d’intelligence artificielle (IA), baptisée NLB-200, fait partie de l’initiative « No Language Left Behind » de Facebook. Une version antérieure pouvait traduire entre 100 langues. Meta utilisera le système pour traiter plus de 25 milliards de traductions par jour, tout en ouvrant le modèle et d’autres ressources et en accordant des subventions à des organismes à but non lucratif ayant des idées sur la manière d’utiliser cette technologie. Mark Zuckerberg, PDG de Meta, a déclaré dans une publication sur Facebook que ce modèle serait non seulement utilisé dans les différents produits et services de Meta, mais qu’il serait également disponible sur github pour que tout le monde puisse l’utiliser. « Nous venons de mettre en libre accès un modèle d’IA que nous avons construit et qui peut traduire dans 200 langues différentes, dont beaucoup ne sont pas prises en charge par les systèmes de traduction actuels », a-t-il relevé. Meta a également établi un partenariat avec la Fondation Wikimedia, qui utilise cette technologie pour traduire des articles dans 20 langues pour lesquelles il existe peu ou pas de ressources en langage machine.

Why is my interpreter saying the sound quality isn’t good enough? I can hear the speaker just fine! There are two issues here. The first is that interpreters need to be able to hear the speaker to do their actual job. The second is that, for interpreters, sound is an occupational health issue – we need to protect our hearing. Sound to interpret from First, in normal conversation – online or in the real world – people don’t always hear every word that is said. Far from it. A lorry passes by, it’s windy, the internet connection cuts out, there’s a hiss or a buzz, etc. We miss a bit. But our brains just fill in the blanks as we go along, based on our unconscious mastery of context, grammar and collocation in our native languages. When they are interpreting simultaneously however, interpreters’ brains are already working at full capacity listening to a foreign language, analysing, translating AND speaking at the same time. Interpreters’ brains don’t have the spare capacity to ALSO fill in the blanks created by sound problems. So we need perfect sound – better sound than everyone else in the room. Occupational health Then there is the question of occupational health. Interpreters listen to meetings all day, most days. For everyone else meetings are far less frequent, and often shorter, events. Bad sound So what makes sound bad? There is not just one cause, nor one fix for bad sound in video-conferencing. It’s complicated. 1. Echo Using poor quality (often in-built laptop) microphones; using good microphones incorrectly (like being too far away from, or not facing the microphone); or being in a room with bare walls will create a hollow, or echo-like effect. 2. Background noise Speakers who are outside, have a window open, are in restaurants or have their kids and/or pets making noise at home, will transmit more than just what they are saying. 3. Fizz Poor internet connections, microphones or sound cards on your computer can create white noise like a fizz or buzzing. 4. Cutting out. Wifi internet connections and bluetooth headsets (or microphones) lead to the sound cutting out for fractions of a second repeatedly while you are talking.

Dans l’interaction, il nous arrive fréquemment d’avoir recours à des bruits et des sons qui n’appartiennent pas ou pas vraiment au lexique d’une langue : des « oh » et des « ah », des « waoh » et des « pff », des bruits de bouche, des gémissements, des soupirs, etc.
