Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to what organisers ask us most. Anything else? Message us on WhatsApp or by email.
See all questionsWhich languages do you interpret?
Our core interpretation languages are French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Swahili and Arabic. Other languages may be available on request, subject to availability.
What is the difference between simultaneous and consecutive interpretation?
In simultaneous interpretation, interpreters work from a booth and delegates listen through headsets in real time. In consecutive interpretation, the speaker pauses so the interpreter can convey each segment.
Can you interpret virtual and hybrid events?
Yes. Our Remote Simultaneous Interpretation service works through major video-conferencing and dedicated interpretation platforms, for fully virtual or hybrid events.
Do you supply interpretation equipment?
Yes. We arrange interpreter booths, delegate headsets, receivers, microphones and sound systems, with technical support on site.
How far in advance should we book?
As early as possible. For larger conferences, two to four weeks lets us secure the right interpreters and equipment. Contact us even for shorter notice and we will do our best.
