Interpretation may be either consecutive[?] or simultaneous[?]. With consecutive interpretation, the speaker frequently pauses to allow the interpreter to translate what was just spoken. With simultaneous interpretation, the interpreter, using headphones to listen to the speaker, voices the translation into a microphone immediately.
Just-in-time dynamic recompilation of a programming language, such as that used in an emulator, parallels this process. See Programming language/Translation[?].
