How to book simultaneous interpreting
From your event programme to an agreed team, technical setup and full price.
Describe your event
Tell us the date, location or platform, subject, speakers’ and listeners’ languages, their numbers and the expected duration.
Agree the team and quote
We will check interpreter availability and discuss the language directions, programme, service scope and full quote.
Prepare the materials and equipment
Agree how to share presentations and terminology, the equipment, your technical contact and the time for a sound check.
Confirm the details
Check the schedule, location, team, technical responsibilities and terms for changes. Submitting the enquiry alone does not confirm a booking.
How simultaneous interpreting works
-
Speaking without pauses for interpreting
The interpreter conveys the meaning alongside the presentation, slightly behind the speaker. There is no need to stop after each statement for interpreting.
-
A separate language channel
Listeners select the agreed language through headphones or a platform feature. Before the meeting, establish who will speak and listen in each language.
-
Questions and answers
Discussion is also included in the interpreting programme. Participants take turns speaking into a microphone; the directions needed for replies are agreed in advance.
Which events suit simultaneous interpreting
-
Conferences and presentations
This format suits audiences listening to presentations in different languages when the programme needs to continue without separate pauses for interpreting.
-
Training and demonstrations
A busy programme needs to account for terminology, demonstration materials and participants’ questions. For practical sessions, discuss movement around the venue in advance.
-
Panel discussions
Several speakers need an agreed speaking order, working microphones and interpreting for questions from the audience. Overlapping voices make the task harder.
-
Online and hybrid meetings
For participants in the room and online, agree how to deliver the original audio and interpretation in advance. Check the platform and connections before the event.
How to choose a simultaneous interpreting team
-
Team size
Extended simultaneous interpreting usually requires a pair of interpreters for each language channel. The team depends on the directions, subject and programme and is agreed in the quote.
-
Programme and interpreter changes
Provide the times for presentations, discussions and breaks. Interpreters take turns during the work, so the schedule needs to account for the whole team.
-
Start time, waiting and extensions
Specify when the team needs to be ready before the first presentation and any possible delays. Minimum bookings, waiting time, extra hours and rescheduling are agreed in advance.
Equipment and connectivity for simultaneous interpreting
-
Interpreting at the venue
A typical conference setup needs an interpreter workspace, microphones, audio transmission and receivers with headphones. Establish what the venue already has and who provides the remaining equipment.
-
Interpreting online
The platform must provide separate interpreting channels and an agreed connection for the interpreters. Check each speaker’s microphone, headphones and connection; an ordinary video call may not be enough.
-
Technical responsibility
Nominate a contact to set up the sound and channels and help participants. Before booking, agree the equipment provider, meeting support and what to do if something fails; equipment is not automatically included.
How to prepare materials for simultaneous interpreters
-
Programme and subject
Provide the agenda, industry, presentation order and discussion times. This helps the interpreters prepare the terminology and assess the team’s workload.
-
Presentations and terminology
Prepare slides, presentation texts, speakers’ names and abbreviations. Agree how and when to share them with the coordinator; no files are needed with the initial enquiry.
-
Languages and listeners
Specify the presentation languages and the interpreting needed for each group. Interpreting questions in the reverse direction and additional channels need separate agreement.
-
Sound checks
Schedule a test connection or sound check with the technical specialist. Interpreters need to hear all speakers and see the materials being shown, while listeners need to receive the correct channel.
What the simultaneous interpreting quote includes
-
Working time
The quote accounts for the team’s agreed working period. Preparation, technical checks, waiting time and event extensions are clarified separately.
-
Language directions and team
The number of language channels and directions determines the team. The subject and preparation are also considered when agreeing the full price.
-
Equipment and support
The quote lists equipment, setup and technical support separately if they are required. A rate from 400 zł/hour does not mean that the full technical package is included.
-
Venue and changes
Provide the address, number of rooms or online participation setup. Agree travel, minimum bookings, waiting time and terms for rescheduling or cancellation before confirmation.
When to choose an alternative to simultaneous interpreting
-
Consecutive interpreting with pauses in speech
For negotiations, visits and small meetings, consider consecutive interpreting. Participants alternate between speaking and interpreting, so allow time for this.
-
Whispered interpreting for one or two listeners
Whispered interpreting can be discussed when seating and audibility are suitable. It requires listeners to stay close to the interpreter and may disturb other participants.
-
Help choosing an interpreting format
Compare the options on the interpreting page or describe your event to the coordinator. The choice depends on the audience, pace of presentations and technical conditions.
