Provision of the interpreting service in practice
The service provision is carried out on the day, at the time, and place indicated by the client. The interpreters assigned to the activity arrive at the place stated in advance to have time to prepare for the correct activity development.
The use of simultaneous interpretation equipment is essential for this service; therefore, if the equipment has been rented, a technician from our company will arrive on site in advance to install it and do a sound check.
Also, at the client’s request, we can assign promoters to deliver the headphones to the attendees; people must leave their IDs in custody until the corresponding headset is returned. Once the activity is over, the interpreters and technicians will collect the equipment. At that time, once the service has been provided, we will proceed to issue the corresponding invoice according to the agreed budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is simultaneous interpretation?
Interpretation modality (also known as simultaneous translation) in which the interpreters listen to a speaker express a message in an original language (source language) and immediately communicate the message in the language required by the audience (target language), the Information transfer occurs with just one or two words of lag.
In this mode of interpretation, two interpreters are required, who take turns of 20 minutes each. These turns are necessary to maintain fidelity in transferring information from one language to another. Also, it is essential to pause so the interpreters can mentally prepare themselves for the next section of the talk.
How do you recognize a good interpreter?
A professional interpreter can speak at least 2 languages fluently, without accents that complicate their understanding, in the same way a professional interpreter can understand different accents (native and non-native accents). Experience in specific topics and extensive knowledge of the world are relevant, hence the importance of verifying the background of the interpreters to be hired.
Technical subjects in interpretation?
If your conference deals with ‘technical’ topics (technology, medicine, mining, legal issues, etc.), hire interpreters with experience in the subject(s) to be worked on. For the interpreters, it is also advantageous to receive study material to deepen the conference’s theme.
