01What is simultaneous interpretation?
The interpreter speaks while the speaker speaks, a few seconds behind, so the audience follows in real time without pauses. Conferences, corporate meetings, trainings and court proceedings use it.
02How is it different from consecutive interpretation?
Consecutive interpreting runs in turns: the speaker pauses and the interpreter renders each statement. It suits depositions, medical visits and interviews. Simultaneous interpreting runs without pauses and suits events and meetings where the speaker should not stop.
03Do you provide simultaneous interpretation by video?
Yes. The interpreters join your video platform and interpret the session in real time for the participants who follow in another language. Tell us the platform when you book.
04How many interpreters does an event need?
For long sessions, two interpreters per language who take turns, so the quality holds for the whole event. Short sessions can run with one interpreter. We staff the booking accordingly and the quote shows it.
05What should I send before the event?
The agenda, the speaker list, the slides and any glossary or names that will come up. The interpreters prepare the terminology from them. Add them as notes when you book, or send them to us in chat.
06How far in advance should I book?
Book as soon as you have the date. Simultaneous interpreters in common languages are usually available at short notice. Rare languages and multi-day events need more notice.
07How is a booking priced?
By the hour, for the hours you book and the number of interpreters, and the total shows before you pay.
08Which languages do you cover?
70 languages, into and out of English. Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, French, Portuguese and Russian confirm fastest for simultaneous work. Rare languages need more notice.
