Simultaneous translation is a type of oral interpretation, which is characterized by simultaneously (or almost simultaneously) generation of speech in the target language with the speech perception in the source language, that leads to a shortage of time. In other words, “synchrony – is a combination of listening, instant comprehension of the text and clearly articulated translation” [4, 20].
Choice of simultaneous translation strategy is mainly focused on planning, objectives and actions of the interpreter. According to one of the definitions, the strategy in simultaneous translation is “the method of completing the translation task, which consists in adequately transferring the sender’s communicative intention from the source language into the target language, taking into account the cultural and personal characteristics of the speaker, basic level, language subcategory and subcategory” [1, 14].
