Challenges And Skills In Online Simultaneous Interpreting ( A Case Study From Algeria)
Authors : Fasla Allel Bilel .
Abstract
As multilingual communication becomes more demanding in the 21st century, remote technologies and devices have become a part of interpreting and other multilingual tasks. As a result, in addition to the complexity of the interpreting mission, remote interpreters face additional obstacles and have to improve an additional range of skills in order to perform their tasks. This article aims at discussing the nature of simultaneous online interpreting and attempts to illustrate a non-exhaustive series of hurdles faced by the author through multiple experiments involving multilingual market research focus group discussion sessions in three Algerian cities from December 2020 to March 2023. The experiments revealed that the level of complexity varies depending on the type of remote setting, with online interpreters' assignments requiring more attention and effort. To succeed, these interpreters need to draw on both hard and soft skills.
