Conference Interpretation

Types of Simultaneous Interpretation

  • OnsiteInterpreters provide their translation from a soundproof booth onsite, the public listens through headphones. In short, dynamic or more intimate meetings or workshops, interpreters may use portable equipment, standing or sitting in the same room as participants. This may be done without equipment if only one or two participants need translation; this is referred to as Whispered Interpretation.
  • OnlineInterpreters provide their translation live from as offsite studio or from their home. They use platforms such as Zoom, Teams, Webex or a standard phone line (or two).
  • HybridWhen an event is held in a physical location with some of the participants (speakers and listeners) attending online, interpreters mais work onsite or remotely.

    Consecutive Interpretation

  • Trials and court hearingsConsecutive Interpretation is the most used method of interpreting in trials, court hearings and questioning, as it allows the interpreter to provide and the audience to verify verbatim accuracy of the translation.
  • Business meetingsIn business meetings, negotiations and small-group job interviews, consecutive interpreting provides closer communication (participants speak and hear each other through the interpreter, but without the need for microphones and headphones).
  • Medical or social services settingsOur interpreters are there to assist foreigners and immigrants using Health and Social Services, thus helping them assert their fundamental rights and receive the care they need.

    Online and Hybrid Interpretation

  • Online InterpretationWeb platforms like Zoom are used for conferences, meetings and webinars, etc. They provide a separate channel for the interpreters to provide their translation. They can switch language directions by themselves when the language spoken on the floor changes. Members of the audience who have chosen one language in the Interpretation section will always hear that language. There are however other platforms offering an Interpretation Function, such as Teams, Webex, WebSwitcher and Via. We’ve tried them all and are ready to use the one you choose.
  • On a Teleconferencing Phone LineIf your Web platform doesn't have and Interpretation Function, we can create just that through one of our secure Teleconferencing Phone Lines, protected by an access code. We can also record the interpreters performance for you.
  • Hybrid ConferencesA guest speaker, part of your audience or certain participants can't attend your event due to travel constraints? The Hybrid mode allows you hold your event in-person while making it accessible online. A team of technicians sets up the audiovisual equipment onsite at the venue and feeds the sound from the onsite microphones into the local speakers as well as the Web platform. The interpreters can work onsite but also remotely, just like the speakers and attendees. Our professional interpreters, logged on to a platform such as Zoom or Teams with an Ethernet Cable connection and using a microphone provide Live Interpretation. We provide you with our telecommunication tools for the success of your multilingual events. The Hybrid method allows to maintain the in-person character of your activity while making it accessible online.
