What it is

What is simultaneous interpreting?

Simultaneous interpreting is the format you see at major international conferences, EU institutions and large corporate events. The interpreter works in real time, listening to the speaker and delivering the interpretation into the other language with only a few seconds' delay.

Participants follow through headsets, while interpreters work from a soundproof booth at the back of the room.

It is the most seamless format available: the event runs at full pace, no pauses for interpretation. Every participant hears the content in their own language as it happens.

When you book simultaneous interpreting through Czech Interpreters, you are not just hiring an interpreter. You are handing the entire language component of your event to one person who takes responsibility for all of it.

Interpreter team

Two interpreters selected for their subject knowledge and experience at comparable events. All colleagues are personally known to me and members of professional interpreting associations.

Technical equipment

Interpreter booths, wireless receivers with headsets, microphones and all related hardware for your specific venue and audience size.

Preparation

Every interpreter on your team receives the agenda, speaker materials and relevant terminology in advance.

On-site coordination

I am present at your event to manage the team, handle any technical issues and make sure everything runs without you having to think about it.

Online and hybrid events

Full setup and coordination via Zoom, Microsoft Teams or dedicated RSI (Remote Simultaneous Interpreting) platforms.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before booking simultaneous interpreting for your event.

Ask us directly

How many interpreters do I need for simultaneous interpreting?

A minimum of two interpreters per language is the professional standard. Simultaneous interpreting is one of the most cognitively demanding tasks. Interpreters work in 20–30 minute rotations to maintain concentration and quality. A single interpreter working alone for hours is a false economy: quality drops sharply after the first hour. We always staff your event correctly.

Do I need a booth?

For in-person events, yes. A soundproof interpreter booth is standard equipment for simultaneous interpreting. It allows the interpreters to speak without being heard by the audience and protects them from background noise. For smaller events or venues where a full booth is not practical, portable alternatives exist. For online events, no booth is needed – interpreters work from their own professional setup.

How far in advance do I need to book?

For large conferences with multiple language pairs, 4–6 weeks in advance is ideal. It gives sufficient time for team selection, equipment logistics and preparation. For smaller events or a single language pair, 2 weeks is usually workable. For urgent requests, get in touch – we will always try to find a solution.

What languages can you cover?

Czech, English and French are my active working languages. For all other language combinations including Russian, German, Polish, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, Hebrew, Albanian and others I recruit from my personal network of trusted colleagues. If you need a language not listed here, ask.

What is RSI (Remote Simultaneous Interpreting)?

RSI is simultaneous interpreting delivered online, where interpreters connect to your event remotely via a dedicated platform rather than from a physical booth. It is well suited to fully online events and hybrid meetings where participants join from multiple locations. We configure the platform, brief the interpreters and make sure your remote participants have the same quality experience as those in the room.

What information do you need to give me a quote?

Date and duration of the event, location or platform, language combinations required, approximate number of participants, and the subject matter. That is enough for an initial proposal. Exact speaker materials and presentations come later, during preparation.
