Simultaneous interpreting

Interpreting spoken text simultaneously requires thorough preparation and a high degree of concentration. Simultaneous interpreters usually work in teams of two or three per language combination in soundproof interpreting booths. They work in turns, alternating at regular intervals, usually every thirty minutes. The audience listens to the interpreters through headsets (at conferences) or over a loudspeaker (e.g. during television broadcasts).
Simultaneous interpreting is the most frequent and convenient solution for events of all types.

consecutive interpreting. In consecutive interpreting, spoken text is translated with a time delay without an interpreters booth. The interpreter normally stands next to the speaker. However, this doubles the amount of time it takes for speakers to make their presentations. Depending on the subject and the duration of the event, consecutive interpreters work alone or in teams of two.
This type of interpreting is best suited for roundtable discussions or negotiations involving relatively small numbers of participants.

The professional expertise of all interpreters working in the interpreting booth ensures that the team will perform impeccably and make a positive impression on the audience. At the same time, excellent teamwork among experienced and reliable interpreters in the booth ensures that your event will be a resounding success.

I often work together with

a long-standing colleague who is a competent partner for English German in the simultaneous interpreting booth and has often shared large translating jobs with me.

Should you require additional interpreters for English-German, or interpreters for other language combinations, I can recommend and contact colleagues, most of whom are members of prestigious professional associations such as VKD-BDÜ (the Conference Interpreters' section of the German Federal Association of Interpreters and Translators) or AIIC (International Association of Conference Interpreters).

The rigorous admissions criteria for these professional associations ensure that their members have the requisite qualifications and expertise as conference and simultaneous interpreters.

Small talk in several languages in breaks during the conference is no problem, but your expert assistance is needed when it comes to areas such as in-situ fluorescent hybridisation or torque link and steering units.

Please also bear in mind that providing background information, website addresses and texts of past and/or planned speeches or presentations at an early stage greatly helps your team of conference interpreters to prepare for your event and deliver outstanding interpreting services.

Your contribution will ensure that your event is a total success.
