Simultaneous interpretation

We offer high-quality simultaneous interpreting for large and multilingual events.

Simultaneous interpreting is particularly suitable for large and multilingual conferences, meetings and events. As the name suggests, simultaneous interpreting takes place simultaneously with the original speech, allowing all event participants to follow the event in real time in their native language.

Suomen Tulkkauspalvelu Oy offers high-quality conference interpreting, such as simultaneous interpreting, comprehensively, not only providing professional interpretation but also taking care of the necessary equipment and its proper installation.

How does simultaneous interpreting work in practice?

Suitable for large and multilingual conferences, meetings and events, simultaneous interpreting is a convenient way to translate only for those participants who need interpretation – this way, the interpretation does not interfere with other participants’ concentration and ability to follow the course of the event. How does this work in practice?

In simultaneous interpreting, the speaker and the interpreter speak at the same time; the interpreter, who is seated in a soundproof booth, transmits the speech from a microphone directly to the headphones of the person needing interpretation. The equipment has its own channel for each language, so the content of the event can be translated into several different languages simultaneously.

Simultaneous interpreting is a great way to present the content of an event in a way that is understandable to the entire spectrum of multilingual participants. Since the interpretation takes place simultaneously with the original speech, participants of all languages are able to follow the course of the event in real time, each in their own native language. In addition, simultaneous interpreting saves time, as presentations do not have to be given in different languages alternately. Simultaneous interpreting therefore offers a real win-win situation for both the event organizer and all participants!

Simultaneous interpreting requires a combination of quality and speed

Simultaneous interpreting is a challenging form of interpreting, as it requires a combination of quality and speed. Since simultaneous interpreting must take place at the same time as the original speech, the technology behind it must also function flawlessly. In order for the event to be equally rewarding for all participants, the quality and speed of simultaneous interpreting must be top-notch in every way – this is ensured by the professional, experienced and competent interpreters of Suomen Tulkkauspalvelu Oy.

 It is advisable to book simultaneous interpreting and give the interpreter or interpreters the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the material and prepare for the event well in advance, preferably up to 3–4 weeks before the event. Due to the challenging nature of interpreting, there are usually two interpreters working in one booth, and a separate booth must be booked for each language.

 Suomen Tulkkauspalvelu Oy offers high-quality simultaneous interpreting by professional interpreters with a wide range of languages and appropriate technology. We take care of both the equipment itself and its installation. So you can easily get everything you need for interpreting from us in one package. Many of our customers have been satisfied with the quality of the interpreting we provide - would you be next?

What equipment does simultaneous interpreting require?

In addition to a professional interpreter and language skills, simultaneous interpreting requires appropriate and functional simultaneous interpreting equipment, an interpretation booth, microphones for interpreters, and headphones for all participants who need interpretation.

In addition to providing professional simultaneous interpreting in several languages, we also bring high-quality equipment to the site and set it up ready for use.

If simultaneous interpreting is not the right choice for your event, what other options are there for conference interpreting?

There are as many different types of events, conferences, meetings and activities as there are organizers. It is clear that no single interpretation solution is the best option for all events. In addition to simultaneous interpreting, which is best suited for large and multilingual events, Suomen Tulkkauspalvelu Oy also offers other types of professional conference interpreting, such as consecutive interpreting, which is suitable for small and interactive events, and affordable whispered interpreting, which is suitable for even smaller events.

 So, in addition to simultaneous interpreting, explore other interpreting options available for conferences and other speaking events to find the option that best suits your event. Our multilingual and professional interpreters are more than happy to help you in all situations. If the event is smaller and clearly bilingual, choose consecutive interpreting, where the speaker and interpreter speak in different languages alternately. If there are only a few people in the audience who need an interpreter, you should choose individual, quiet and affordable whispered interpreting.

“We ordered simultaneous interpretation and proofreading services from the Finnish Interpretation Service for the representative event, which allowed as many people as possible to participate in the event. It felt like there was professional interpretation going on the whole time. I got the feeling that the operations were very professional and that everything worked well at the event.”
