The main part of the workshop was attended by students of the professor, undergraduates of the 1st year of study Wang Linlin and Sadenova Alima. Wang Linlin spoke about the features of simultaneous translation, the important professional skills required by a simultaneous interpreter, the features of translating texts with cultural content, translating political terms, verbs, as well as external problems that arise during simultaneous translation.
