Simultaneous and consecutive interpretation are often confused but are services with
distinct areas of expertise. Consecutive translation involves being present
alongside the speaker and is performed after the speech is completed, whereas
simultaneous translation is carried out instantaneously in specially equipped
soundproof booths without interrupting the flow of speech. Therefore, the
expertise and pricing policies of both services differ. It is crucial for you
to accurately determine your needs. For more information and to have detailed
discussions about our services, you can reach us via WhatsApp, email, or phone.
How Does Simultaneous and Consecutive Translation Process Work?
The journey of simultaneous translation kicks off when a client approaches
our translation office, shedding light on the event where oral translation is
needed. The client must provide details such as the language pair required for
translation, the duration and dates of the event, its content, and the venue.
Based on this information, our translation office swiftly locates a skilled and
seasoned translator in the specified field. Once the translator’s schedule
aligns, the process commences.

In simultaneous translation, specialized soundproof booths are utilized,
accompanied by headphones provided to the audience seeking translation
services. The arrangement of booths and headphones can either be managed by the
organizing party or facilitated by our office, depending on the client’s
preference. It’s crucial to finalize this aspect well before the commencement
of operations.
The translation agency, as well as the translator, should be briefed
beforehand regarding the subject matter, and if any materials are available,
they should be shared with the office. Post-event, feedback sessions are held
with both the client and the translator to gauge satisfaction levels. It’s not
just the client’s contentment that matters to us; the satisfaction of our team
members holds equal significance. Therefore, we adhere to a customer and
translator-centric work ethos.

different languages need to communicate quickly. Although simultaneous
interpreting is widely used in various fields, this is not limited. The need
for simultaneous interpreting can arise in many different scenarios.

Principles of Simultaneous and Consecutive Translation Pricing
The fees for simultaneous translation services are determined by considering
various factors. Factors such as the duration of the event, its terminology,
and the accessibility of the venue where simultaneous translation will take
place are important. For example, if a translator needs to be physically
present at the event for a one-hour translation, transportation time is also
taken into account. Additionally, whether cabin and headphone services will be
provided by the client or the translation agency is also among the factors that
affect pricing. For more information, you can reach us via WhatsApp, email, or
phone, and get detailed information about the services you prefer.”
Challenges and Solutions in Simultaneous and Consecuvite Interpreting
• Provision of incomplete or inaccurate information regarding the event.
• Situations where the event lasts longer than planned.
• Inaccurate or incomplete address information for the event location.
• Connectivity or microphone issues for participants in events conducted
over the internet.
• Misinterpretations made in the source language. • Failure to share
materials related to the event with the interpreter beforehand.
It should be remembered that the interpreter is merely a facilitator and
cannot be held responsible for the content of the speech. Proper communication
and collaboration are crucial to overcoming these challenges.
