As an exercise in real life simultaneous interpretation, it doesn’t get much better than “This is a marvelous opportunity for our students to be able to interpret dynamic speeches live,” says Professor , chair of the Conference Interpretation program at the Monterey Institute. The TEDxMonterey conference is a dynamic event, with 18 speakers exploring the theme of “Cultivating Innovation” in creative and thought-provoking ways.

The event will be streamed live via the Internet so that the audience will have the option of simultaneous interpretation by Monterey Institute students in five languages: Chinese, Russian, Spanish, Korean and Japanese. Streaming the interpretation live is exciting for the interpreters, which provides them with the unique opportunity for others to hear their work. “This is a wonderful exercise in a real-life situation providing our students with the opportunity to help communicate innovative and creative ideas in other languages,” added Professor Olsen.
