ISO/IEC 20382-1:2017规定了面对面语音翻译，旨在实现不同语言的多个翻译系统之间的互操作。它还规定了语音翻译的特点、一般要求和功能，从而提供了一个框架，支持在面对面的情况下提供方便的语音翻译服务。ISO/IEC 20382-1:2017适用于语音翻译的用户界面和在用户之间建立翻译会话的通信协议。ISO/IEC 20382-1: 2017不适用于定义语音翻译引擎本身。

ISO/IEC 20382-1:2017 specifies face-to-face speech translation designed to interoperate among multiple translation systems with different languages. It also specifies the speech translation features, general requirements and functionality, thus providing a framework to support a convenient speech translation service in face-to-face situations. ISO/IEC 20382-1:2017 is applicable to user interfaces for speech translation and communication protocols for setting up a translation session among users. ISO/IEC 20382-1:2017 is not applicable to defining the speech translation engine itself.
