Simultaneous interpretation

The interpreter translates in real time while the speaker is speaking, operating from a soundproof booth and using appropriate equipment, such as headsets and microphones. It is recommended in the presence of a linguistically heterogeneous audience, that is consisting of recipients of more than one language code. Compared to other translation types, it does not slow down the flow of the event. However, it involves additional costs for the rental of the soundproof booth as well as technical support. As an alternative to the soundproof booth, we propose the use of the bidule system. A bidule is a portable simultaneous interpreting system, consisting of a transmitter with microphone for the interpreter and receivers with earphones for the listeners. It is similar to the one used by tour guides. It is suitable for small trade shows, multilingual conventions or workshops. It does not require a soundproof booth or technical support. It is easy to transport and set up, and it has lower costs compared to simultaneous interpretation in soundproof booths.

Consecutive interpretation

Unlike the simultaneous interpretation, in this case the speaker speaks using short segments. Only when the segment of the speech has been completed shall the interpreter transmit the speaker’s message to the target audience, in the desired language. It is recommended for meetings with a limited number of languages and for homogeneous audiences. In comparison with simultaneous interpreting, consecutive interpreting has the disadvantage of almost doubling working time, since the speaker and interpreter have to speak in shifts, not simultaneously.

Whispered interpretation (chuchotage)

Variant of simultaneous, in which the interpreter translates in a low voice (from French “chuchoter”, or “whisper”), to a small group of listeners (2 or 3 people), without the use of equipment.
It is recommended for small groups and informal or short events.

Remote interpreting (online)

Nowadays, we are all constantly connected. After COVID-19 which erased in person events and given the advancement of technology, today we have a new interpretation method: Online interpretation. Interpreters operate remotely, through digital platforms (Zoom, teams, Google meet, etc.), offering a flexible, fast and accessible service anywhere.
It is the ideal solution for virtual meetings, meetings and remote conferences. This enabled to reduce logistical costs, both for renting the necessary equipment for in person attendance events and for costs relating to travel, board and lodging for guests and interpreters, same case applying to costs related to setting up the location. At the same time, it allows to maintain the quality of the required translation.
