Interpretation (IV): sight translation

Sight translation is a interpretation modality, in which the interpreter reads a text in a foreign language and he translates it whilst reading. This kind of interpretation is similar to the simultaneous interpretation, but in this case there isn't a speaker who speaks in another language not even is necessary a booth, because the interpreter translates directly facing the interested people in the text's content.

Although its name is “sight translation”, it isn't a translation properly speaking, because the information in the target language it isn't written, but it is transmitted orally.
