About Harare

With the current president of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe under house arrest by the Zimbabwe army, things are a bit uncertain for Harare which happens to be the largest city in Zimbabwe and with a population of 1.4 million inhabitants. Although there are about 16 languages in Zimbabwe, there are 3 major ones spoken and used in Harare and these are English which is the national language and the indigenous ones like Shona and Ndebele. It should be noted that 70% of the people in Zimbabwe speak Shona.

Basic types of interpreting in Harare include;

Simultaneous interpreting; The interpreter is placed in a sound proof room where he speaks in to devices that enable the audience targeted to understand. The audience is usually fitted with hearing aids that they alone and maybe other only get to hear the voice of the interpreter. Here the interpreter interprets the moment the speaker finishes a sentence. This is very useful for world summits and large conferences that involve people of the same goal and initiative but who speak and understand different languages; French, Sotho, Swahili, Afrikaans, Portuguese etc.

Chuchotage interpretation; Here an interpreter interprets to only one or two people as the main speaker does his thing, the interpreter does his thing at the same time as the main speaker making it prone to misinterpretations and miscommunication.

Liaison interpretation; Interpreting directly as the conversation or dialogue goes on. It is meant to create and maintain a certain level of mutual understanding and is usually used for very small gatherings that involve a conversation like aspect. Problem here is that it is very easy for the interpreter to overshadow the main speaker. At the end of the day, an interpreter is a very important link in the communication process and should therefore be a professional one. This is to ensure accuracy when delivering the message to the audience in the form intended by the source of that very message.
