What is simultaneous interpreting?
Simultaneous interpreters sit in a sound-proof booth, interpreting in real-time and the original speaker don't have to pause. The audience hear the rendition via headphones.

Examples of simultaneous interpreting:

• Multinational annual meetings
• Product launches
• International academic meetings

One language pair needs at least two simultaneous interpreters, who hand off to each other every 20 minutes or so. While resting, they will continue to follow the proceedings and prepare for their next turn.

Specialized equipments are essential to the success of meetings. We assign event managers to such meetings and set up the venue before the interpreters arrive.

What we need to know to organize your simultaneous interpreting

1. how many language pairs
——determines how many booths will be needed
2. number of audience
——determines how many headphones will be needed
3. layout of the venue
——classroom, U-shape tables or theaters?
