Interpreting
Are you planning a multilingual congress, a meeting or a live broadcast on radio or TV? Are you in charge of organising a meeting for a European works council, a discussion event, a training course or a guided tour of a plant?

And because efficient planning will allow good interpreters to produce the best possible results, we’d be happy to help you with that too. Which mode of interpreting is best for your event, how can you prepare for the interpreters’ assignment and what technical equipment will you need?
We will help you to answer all these questions and more. That’s the advantage you get with SIMCONSULT. In a nutshell: top-notch interpreters and over 20 years of planning experience. It would be our pleasure to assist you.

Interpreting: Methods and technical equipment, an overview
Simultaneous interpreting
This is the best-known mode of interpreting. In simultaneous interpreting the interpreters sit in booths and continuously convey the words they hear into the target language while the speaker is talking. The interpreters work in teams, which means that there are at least two interpreters per language.
Whispering interpreting
Whispering interpreting is similar to simultaneous interpreting but without any interpreting equipment, and is suitable for one or two listeners. An interpreter can also whisper for more than two listeners using a tour guide system.
Accompanying/escort interpreting
Accompanying interpreting is suitable for visits to trade fairs and tours by small groups.
Consecutive interpreting
In consecutive interpreting, the interpreter relays the message once the speaker has finished speaking, either after a few sentences or after longer passages. This mode of interpreting is suitable for business negotiations, book presentations, press conferences, after-dinner speeches, welcoming addresses and interviews.
