Relay

Relay interpreting is usually used when there are several target languages. A source-language interpreter interprets the text to a language common to every interpreter, who then render the message to their respective target languages. For example, a Spanish source message first is rendered to English to a group of interpreters, who listen to the English and render the message into Arabic,French, and Russian, the other target languages. In heavily multilingua lmeetings, there may be more than one "intermediate" language, i.e. a Greek source language could be interpreted into English and then from Englishto other languages, and, at the same time, it may also be directly interpreted into French, and from French into yet more languages. This solution is most often used in the multilingual meetings of government institutions.
