Simultaneous Interpreting FAQs
Every event with multilingual participants is different. The best simultaneous interpreting services are custom-tailored to your specific needs.

We provide our interpreters with continuous training and preparatory material so they’re ready to ensure language accessibility for everyone at your event.
Simultaneous interpretation services offer real-time, almost instantaneous interpreting between speakers. Unlike consecutive interpreting, there are no pauses for translation or breaks. This mode of professional interpretation services offers:
- Real-time translation
- Smoother flow of conversation
- Language accessibility for all event participants
Simultaneous and consecutive interpreting are both great solutions for providing language accessibility. Each one works better in different circumstances.
Simultaneous interpreting may be preferred in situations that require:
- Efficient, faster communication without pauses.
- Uninterrupted, continuous conversation (often for a conference, meeting, or live broadcast)
- Participation for large, multilingual audiences who speak multiple languages
- Translating complex subject material
- Sensitivity to cultural nuance
A simultaneous interpreting solution will vary in cost due to a few factors:
- Equipment: Some events require a soundproof booth and headsets for interpreters and participants. Some may not require any extra equipment besides microphones.
- Subject matter complexity: Finding experts in more technical subject matters may drive up costs.
- Number of interpreters: Simultaneous interpreting requires intense concentration and hard work. It often necessitates teams that switch off as frequently as every 20 to 30 minutes.
Simultaneous interpreting works best in large group settings with multilingual participants. These include
- International conferences
- Diplomatic meetings or negotiations
- United Nations or European Union events
- Situations with participants who speak many languages
- Trade shows
- Exhibitions
- Summits
- Legal proceedings
- Live broadcasts
- Press conferences
- Media events
