Simultaneous interpreting is the most widely-known form of interpreting nowadays. It is perfect for all those situations in which a speaker addresses an international audience.

The interpreters always work in pair when delivering this type of interpreting, and they work from a soundproof interpreting booth with a team of sound technicians who manage the input and output quality. The speaker uses a microphone and the audience can listen to the interpreter's voice almost simultaneously thanks to special headsets.

The interpreting booth can either be present in the chosen location or conference centre, or rented for the event. You don’t know how to arrange this? Find out more and read about the event consultancy services I provide.

Consecutive interpreting is the most ancient form of conference interpreting. The interpretation of the speech - or part of it - is given after the speech, and with no technical equipment except from the interpreter's notepad.

It is important to consider that this type of interpreting generally takes nearly twice as much time as the original speech.

This type of interpreting has become widely known and used recently, as international meetings with interpreters can be held at any time thanks to technological devices.

Remote interpreting can either be simultaneous or consecutive and involve one or more interpreters. However, the type of event and online platform chosen entail a series of differences and limitations to keep into account. If you are not familiar with this new type of communication yet, you can make an appointment with me for advice: during our meeting, we can talk about the best tools and services that would fit your specific needs.

Liaison (or dialogue) interpreting is provided during B2B meetings, business negotiations, bilateral agreements or technical training. It is required when two speakers do not share the same language, with a view to guaranteeing a successful meeting.

No technical equipment is needed for this type of interpreting, but a portable system, often referred to as ‘bidule’ or tour-guide system, may be useful to reduce background noise and make the translation more audible and comprehensible.

In a setting with one or two listeners and in the right conditions, chuchotage can also be an option. When working with chuchotage, the interpreter whispers the simultaneous interpretation of what is being said without using any audio support.

Interpreting, in all its forms, is very demanding and tiring. Interpreters have to concentrate fully and at length, and think on their feet. This is why two interpreters, instead of just one, might need to work together and alternate depending on the duration of your event.
