Simultaneous interpretation

Simultaneous interpretation differs from consecutive interpretation in that it is carried out in parallel with the speech of the participants of the event, while consecutive interpretation requires pauses to translate what has been said.

Also, simultaneous translation requires special equipment. During simultaneous interpretation, participants of the event are equipped with headphones in order to listen to the speech of an interpreter in parallel with the speech of the interlocutors. This kind of interpretation is in demand at official events, meetings, symposia, conferences and others.

We can say that simultaneous translation is a first-class performance in the work of translators. Our agency collaborates with professional English interpreters with experience at the highest level.

The price of simultaneous interpretation is calculated based on the volume and time of work to be done, the language of translation and other details and usually agreed in advance. As a rule, simultaneous translation is two to three times more expensive than consecutive interpretation. It should also be noted that simultaneous interpreters usually work in pairs, as it is difficult for one person to work for several hours in a row without breaks.
