Simultaneous interpreting is the most suitable method for conferences with overseas participants. Our interpreters sit in soundproof booths, where they hear the original speaker via headphones and interpret simultaneously into a microphone, following which the translation is channelled directly into the audience’s headphones.

Simultaneous interpreting requires a high degree of skill, concentration and accuracy. This kind of interpreting is ideal for conferences, given that the flow of speech is not interrupted and that the audience can follow the speaker perfectly with the aid of the simultaneous interpreter.

With extensive experience in managing multilingual teams of interpreters, simultanea is the partner of choice for organising the right team for your event.

Each project begins with an in-depth consultation. In addition to defining your needs, we inform you about the different options available to you and define the exact interpreting requirements based on the planned conference setting.

When putting together interpreting teams, we focus primarily on the specific skills of our interpreter colleagues with a view to providing you with the best possible constellation. simultanea recruits interpreters who are the most suitable for the subject area in question. We not only strive to provide you with the best people for the job, but also take into account geographical proximity, thereby keeping travel costs to a minimum.

The simultanea team also coordinates preparations prior to the event. These include:

• In-depth briefing with our customers
• In-depth briefing of our interpreting team
• Obtaining, viewing and distributing conference documentation
• Forwarding terminology lists

As the organisers of the interpreting teams, we supervise the interpreters and act as your direct point of contact. simultanea will look after everything, ensuring smooth communication at your event. This will allow you to devote your entire attention to the event and its participants without having to attend to organisational minutiae.

Organising conferences is a complex business that requires great attention to detail. This is a skill that we have honed down to a fine art, having organised large simultaneous interpreting teams for many years. simultanea provides interpreting services for major congresses and conferences, including events with many different working languages.

We not only work with primary European languages such as English, German, Spanish and French, but also with native speaker interpreters in less common languages like Estonian, Slovenian, Lithuanian and many others besides. Rare languages do not pose a problem for simultanea’s interpreters – we will find the right interpreter for your project.

Whether for SE transformations, international customer events or other major events – we will organise the right interpreting team for you. If you need interpreters for a project abroad, we are willing and able to put together a suitable team for you. As with all the services we provide, quality is the key to organising major events, which – needless to say – means that we only work together with highly qualified interpreters with experience in the field in question. In order to ensure top quality at major congresses and other events, simultanea representatives will be there in person to ensure that your every need is catered for and to oversee our large teams of interpreters.

As an interpreting company with vast experience in organising conferences, we are also in a position to put together large teams of interpreters – even at short notice – to facilitate smooth and effective communication in as many languages as you choose. We at simultanea will make it happen.

Under certain circumstances, consecutive interpreting can be a more effective approach for smaller events. This means that the speaker delivers his or her speech in natural, coherent segments while our interpreter takes notes. The interpreter then reproduces it segment by segment in the required target language. However, as consecutive interpreting can increase the length of your speech, it is a good idea to define clear time limitations.

Liaison interpreting is used for round table discussions involving a small number of people. Our interpreter translates everything that is said – uncensored and without value judgement. As with consecutive interpreting, everything is noted and reproduced with great precision.

simultanea

• Will organise one or more experienced consecutive interpreters, depending on the nature and duration of the work

As well as an in-depth knowledge of the languages in question, first-class translators require a knowledge of specialist fields and terminology. Because of this, we select our translators – who translate exclusively into their native language – not only on the strength of their language and writing skills, but also on their expertise in our customers’ specialist areas.

simultanea’s translation service includes the following:

• Conference documents
• Commercial documents
• Annual reports
• And other important business documentation

We would be happy to be your long-term translation partner for legal, technical, commercial and medical documentation. Of course, given that quality is also our number one priority when it comes to translations, simultanea only works together with experienced native speaker translators. When you leave your translation requirements in our capable hands, you can be sure of punctuality, reliability, confidentiality and attention to detail.
