Frequently asked questions
Quick answers for planning your project.
How do I choose between simultaneous and consecutive interpretation?
Simultaneous interpretation keeps the event moving and is generally the best fit for conferences, panels, training sessions and meetings with larger audiences. In consecutive interpretation, speakers pause after short segments; it works well for smaller meetings, interviews, negotiations and brief presentations. The right format also depends on timing, acoustics, audience size and meeting dynamics.
When are two interpreters normally required?
For sustained simultaneous interpretation, including most assignments lasting more than 90 minutes, a two-interpreter team is normally required. The interpreters alternate to maintain accuracy and concentration. Final team size depends on the schedule, breaks, subject complexity and language directions.
What interpretation equipment does an event need?
The setup depends on the venue, audience size, languages and event format. It may include microphones, a clean audio feed for the interpreters, booths, consoles, transmitters, receivers, headsets and remote language channels. Technical visits and smaller groups may use portable systems.
What information is needed for an accurate quotation?
For interpretation and equipment, provide the date, city or platform, timetable, languages and directions, meeting format, participant and listener numbers, programme and existing audiovisual setup. For translation, send the file or a sample, languages, deadline, intended use, delivery format and any certification requirement.
