Simultaneous interpretation is the one that the interpreter, inside a booth and with proper equipment, listens to the speaker in a certain language and conveys the message to the language of the listeners at the same time.

In case of short duration – up to one hour –, there is the possibility of hiring only one interpreter. If there are more hours of work, two interpreters must be hired to switch with each other a certain period of time, which ranges from 15 to 30 minutes, so that the quality of interpretation remains at a level of excellence, given that it is about an exercise of extreme concentration with no interruptions. After six straight hours of work, overtime starts being counted.

Besides interpretation in the booth, there is also the modality of whispering interpretation, in which the interpreter is next to the listener and does simultaneous interpretation – with no equipment – at a very low voice tone not to bother the others. That modality allows a limited number of listeners.

Types of work: congresses, conferences, workshops, trainings, guided visits, press conferences, business meetings, research, trade fairs, etc.

In consecutive interpretation, the interpreter listens to the message, makes notes and, after a short period, conveys the message to the listeners, many times in a more concise way, but conveying the key message.

That modality does not require use of equipment, however, the time needed for the event is eventually almost two-folded, given the fact that the speaker speaks “twice”.

Types of work: guided visits, press conferences, business meetings, research, trade fairs, etc.
