This is one reason that interpreting between SVO (e.g. English) and SOV (e.g. Japanese) ordered languages can be so fatiguing. You have to constantly buffer the sentence in your working memory while you wait for the completion before you can output a conventional sounding interpretation. It's even worse with drop-heavy languages, where key words are frequently omitted from the sentence and left to contextual assumption.
