At Language Connections, simultaneous interpreting services are our specialty. Delivered in real time, this mode of conference interpreting allows communication to continue without pause or delay.
Simultaneous interpreters generally work in pairs and sit in soundproof booths, translating as the speaker talks. Their interpretation is transmitted live to listeners through microphones and headsets, enabling multilingual participants to follow along seamlessly.
Specialized interpreting equipment is almost always required for events needing conference interpreting services. We provide the necessary technology upon request to ensure smooth and accurate communication across languages.
Simultaneous interpretation services are best suited for high-stakes events where multilingual communication must happen instantly. They are essential when audience members need to receive information in multiple languages at the same time in order to participate fully.
This interpreting format is commonly used for:
Whether you are organizing an international conference or delivering a large-scale presentation, simultaneous interpretation ensures that every attendee can stay engaged and follow the content, regardless of the language they speak.
Contrary to simultaneous interpreting, consecutive interpreting is an interpreting mode where the speaker pauses at the end of a complete thought to allow interpretation into the target language. A professional consecutive interpreter will sometimes take notes while a speaker talks and then interpret their speech during the speaker’s natural breaks. Consecutive interpreters are ideal for small-scale settings and face-to-face meetings where only two languages are used, including but not limited to:
Simultaneous interpreters often require interpreting equipment. This specialized technology allows simultaneous interpreting services to be performed in such a way as to not interrupt or distract the speaker or listeners during the event.
Language Connections offers both equipment and professional setup for your events. For more information on equipment offerings, please visit our Interpreting Equipment page.
Whispered interpreting is very similar to simultaneous interpreting as the interpreter also relays information to their client while the speaker is talking. However, instead of speaking in an audible tone, the whisper interpreter will provide their interpretation in a hushed (or whisper) tone directly into the listener’s ear to avoid disrupting the speaker. This means that the interpreter will almost always be stationed close to the listener.
Whispered interpretation requires absolute concentration and focus by the interpreter to provide an accurate rendition in the target language without missing a beat. This helps ensure that the listener’s comprehension is at the same pace of the speaker’s voice. Whispered interpreting is generally most suitable for:

Language Connections has provided us with a very good first impression and has not let us down! They worked on a seminar with a large number of participants, which demanded simultaneous translation of postings as quickly as possible and with great command of French. We were impressed by the quality of their work, flexibility to work long hours as needed to complete all translations on time, and their high level of computer savvy.
