If you have an electronic or computer background, the

German to English simultaneous translators can't begin

That is the sort of English up with which I will not put :-)

The separation between words spoken in German is very clear. In
spoken French the words blur into each other.

That is one of my problems - I rely a lot on word breaks. And it
is also a reason that I said northern German - it's a lot less clear
in the south of Germany.
