1. A method of translating a first speech signal in a first language of a speaker into a second speech signal in a second language of a listener, the method comprising:
receiving, by a receiver, the first speech signal in the first language that is spoken by the speaker;
determining, by a processor, a translation level, which indicates a degree of summarization or omission of at least one word included in the first speech signal, to be applied to a translation of the first speech signal based on a level of understanding of the first language by the listener receiving translated results in the second language;
translating, by the processor, the first speech signal in the first language into the second speech signal in the second language according to the translation level; and
in response to omitting translation for at least one word included in the first speech signal, outputting, by the processor, a message indicating that the translation is skipped.
