The process of translating speeches and signs orally from one different language to another is referred to as interpretation or interpreting. A study that refers to the theories being used for applying and describing interpretation and also translation is referred as translation studies. The interpreter is a person that converts any thoughts and expressions of one language to another language which is comparable to it and he or she interprets in a simultaneous or consecutive manner. Consecutive in way that the speaker will pause after every 2 sentences to be interpreted.

One main goal of the interpreters is to convey all of the needed information, register, tone, and elements of messages in any intention and feeling given by a speaker. Mostly, written speeches and lectures are already provided with pre translated texts. Interpretation involves many different types. The conference language translator often is a person who translates the used languages in meetings or conferences either consecutively or simultaneously.

Translation in conferences is categorized into two markets, the institutional and the private. The international institution usually holds a multilingual meeting which involves many different foreign conversations. While a local private market holds a bilingual meeting.

Some other interpreting types include legal, court, or judicial where legal proceedings commonly happen in a court of justice or in an administrative tribunal. The legal interpretation includes the translation of witnesses testimonies and translation of the other proceedings by means of a person or persons.

Any person or people has the right of having an interpreter which is according to the court as one of their fundamental rules. This literally mean that this rule has been guaranteed in any national constitution, precedents set by highest courts, declaration of their rights, or the fundamental laws of a justice system. An incompetent or failed interpretation often leads to mistrials.

An escort interpreter is the one accompanies or escorts a person or people in tours, visits, meetings, or interviews. Public sector or community interpreting is another type that occurs in health, social, environmental health, welfare services, legal, local government, housing, and education fields. Some factors that would affect the languages are the emotional content, social surroundings, stress, participants relationship, and the responsibility of interpreter.

Communications between patients, families, and healthcare personnel is known as medical interpreting. Some medical employees who are multilingual prefer to have a part time work in a language bank. Medical interpreters must have knowledge about basic medical processes and terms.

Interpreters of a sign language often serve as guides to individuals who are mute and deaf. This will occur when a speaker will speak and an interpreter renders those spoken languages to sign languages. And it may be done in reverse as well where a mute individual does sign languages which are interpreted orally.

Media interpretation often occurs in live coverage in televisions like press conferences, taped or live interviews of musicians, sportsmen, political figures, artists, and businessmen. Interpreters usually sit in sound proof booths where in they can see monitor. The important equipment must be checked before starting the recording.
