Sight Translation 1 Sight translation is the oral rendition of text written in one language into another language and is usually done in the moment. Central to sight translation are the following skills: the ability to comprehend written text in one language (reading skills) the ability to produce an oral or signed rendition in another language (speaking or speech production skills). Sight translation is often requested of an interpreter during an interpreting assignment

Sight Translation 3 Conduct public speaking practice preparatory to beginning sight translation. Read them aloud (each in its original language)to practice your delivery (voice projection,enunciation, ete.)Make sure you do them out loud,even if you have no audience.Record yourself on audio or video tape so that you know how you sound (and look,if you use video) to your audience

Sight Translation Practice stage 1 Take a maximum of three minutes to read the text.You will not have the time to translate the whole text at this point.What you should do at this stage is: get a general idea of the type and content of the text, identify the main points, pinpoint potential problems, write down any equivalents that come to mind for key words,and try to segment the text into chunks that are large enough for analysis and comprehension,but short enough for oral translation.The segments can be sentences-if they are short and simple, clauses-if the sentence contains more than one clause,or phrases-if the sentence contains a number of specific details

Sight Translation Practice stage 2 Start the voice recorder at the end of three minutes. Start translating segment 1 and read ahead to identify segment 2. Repeat this step with the following segments,until you come to the last segment,which you translate. Stop the voice recorder and check the time to ensure that you have taken no more than 4 minutes to sight translate 250 words
