Simultaneous
interpreting
The ideal solution for conferences, debates and large-scale events

Less than 10 seconds between speaking and translation
Guaranteed to save time at multilingual events
Experienced interpreters and professional equipment
How does simultaneous interpreting work?
Simultaneous interpreting involves three players: the speaker, who delivers a speech, the interpreter, who is responsible for translating, and the audience, who benefit from the oral translation almost instantaneously. The skills of the professional interpreter are fundamental, as he or she has to transcribe the speech into another language in real time, with less than a 10-second delay. This requires a great deal of mental gymnastics and, above all, a certain amount of practice.
For this type of interpreting, translators work in soundproofed glass booths (complying with the ISO 4043 standard). They are equipped with a microphone so that they can simultaneously translate what is being said to the audience. Each member of the audience has ultra-light wireless headphones to follow the translated speech.
Simultaneous interpreting saves considerable time for the audience, the speaker and the organisers, making it the ideal solution for multilingual conferences, large-scale events or lively debates.

Find the right interpreter for your event
Interpreting enables people who do not speak the same language to communicate during events or business meetings. The aim is to orally translate speeches in a quick, accurate and pricise way. This requires not only linguistic skills, but also communication skills to ensure that the ideas in a speech are perfectly conveyed from one language to another.
To meet all your needs, AB Traduction offers three interpreting services: simultaneous interpreting, consecutive interpreting and liaison interpreting.
