My wife has to do that for me all the time. I speak jacked-up Japanese and she is nice enough to help me. She speaks English as naturally as this lady.

She reminds me of a friend, lol.

So what's the deal with the interview? They just want to report on how a translator sees the CEO or something?

Simultaneous translation is something that is done by good professional interpreters ... many of them work at the UN for example! :)

When I was travelling in the USSR many years ago, we had an interpreter with us who could do this between Russian and English in highly technical settings. He would get the intonation and meaning right (except for some obscure technical terms - which meant he said them in English when we were speaking), but did not do the hand gestures ... probably because he did not know us well.
