Simultaneous Interpreting

International Conferences

Additionally, some events require Simultaneous Interpretation for more than 4 hours. Here, at least two interpreters must be available. This is because translating simultaneously requires huge mental efforts. It is equally important for interpreters to access documentation or bibliographic material regarding the topic to be translated, previous to the event. This is due to the specificity or technicality of the event. The interpreter must be familiar to specialized terminology. The interpreter studies the content of the conference. This eliminates possible ambiguities regarding terms and context.   This way, the interpreter may be more loyal to transmitting the original message.

The technical logistics during our interpreting Services are crucial. It takes time and organization to install translation equipment. This setup takes approximately 2 hours, which are considered previous to the event, preferably the day before. A technician is in charge of manipulating the equipment and providing support in distributing and collecting translation equipment at the beginning and end of the event.
