Simultaneous interpretation equipment rental

What is simultaneous interpretation?

Simultaneous interpretation is a process in which an interpreter translates the speaker’s words just a moment behind them. Its advantage is that the speaker does not need to make long pauses, as is necessary with consecutive interpretation. The speaker and the audience can concentrate better on the information being conveyed, and the event saves time.

During the event the interpreter translates immediately, without the possibility of correcting what has been said, so interpreting requires highly qualified interpreters: professional skills, knowledge of the subject and attentiveness.

Simultaneous interpretation is usually performed by two interpreters taking turns. At complex and long events, three interpreters work into one language.

This type of interpretation requires:

interpreter booth (the number of booths depends on the number of target languages)

  • whether the hall where your event will take place has a sound system.
