Renting Simultaneous Interpreting Equipment
KT Serviss provides a complete simultaneous interpreting service.
Simultaneous interpreting at events and conferences significantly improves participant communication, including the correct understanding of speeches and presentations in cases of international events that are attended by people who speak different languages.
Simultaneous interpreting will greatly improve the understanding of the topics of speeches and discussions.
Simultaneous interpreting is a complex process that consists of the following elements:
- Interpreter booths with interpreter microphone units and headphones;
- Microphone system for meeting moderators, speakers, and discussion participants;
- Language channel infrared transmission system for meeting participants;
- Wireless delegate units fitted with receivers and headsets for meeting participants.
Here are four tips for helping your simultaneous interpreting event run smoothly:
- Start organising your event well in advance! There are a very limited number of professional translators specialising in simultaneous interpreting, so during the busiest months for conferences and events these interpreters are booked out very early. Due to its specifics and dynamics, simultaneous interpreting is very different from conventional translating, meaning that not all translators can provide a high-quality interpreting service.
- Introduce the interpreter with your event topics! In order for the interpreter to be well prepared for your event, they need to study the specific terminology and the nature of the topic, so it is very important to introduce them with the presentations and speeches! The more detailed the information available to the interpreter, the more successful the simultaneous interpreting service.
- Ensure high-quality technical equipment and a professional service team! Transmission systems, interpreting booths, interpreter consoles, and other specific simultaneous interpreting equipment is a very important aspect for event participants to receive clear and audible translation in their headphones. Simultaneous interpreting is a process in which each little detail plays an important role in ensuring the quality of the final product. Professional and responsive staff will allow for successful communication and help to prevent problematic situations before they arise!
- Choose the number of interpreters wisely! Note that a single interpreter can’t provide translation for an event that lasts several hours. Interpreters should have time to rest, drink water, use the restroom, etc. Choosing at least two interpreters is common practise, as it gives interpreters the ability to swap, giving each other time for rest and thus ensuring consistent, high-quality simultaneous interpreting.
