Conference Interpretation · 200+ Languages

Simultaneous Interpretation for Conferences & Live Events

Your speaker keeps talking, and every attendee hears them in their own language at the same moment. Our conference interpreters work from booths on-site or remotely on Zoom, Teams and Webex, so no one in the room is left waiting.

One speaker, every language, at the same moment. Interpreters for events of every size, nationwide.

Why Choose Us

Conference Interpreters Who Keep Pace With Your Speakers

Simultaneous interpretation is one of the most demanding jobs in the language industry. The interpreter listens, understands and speaks in another language at almost the same time, often on technical or legal subjects. That’s why we assign linguists who already know your field and brief them on your agenda, speakers and terminology before the event.

For sessions longer than an hour, interpreters work in pairs and hand over every 20 to 30 minutes, so quality at 4 pm matches 9 am. From a single boardroom meeting to a multi-day summit, Translators Unlimited plans the language team and setup around your event.

FAQ's

Questions About Simultaneous Interpretation

Planning a multilingual event? Here are the questions we hear most often.

How far in advance should I book?

For conferences, booking 3 to 4 weeks ahead gives us time to secure interpreters and equipment. For rare languages or large events, earlier is better. Short-notice requests are possible, so call us and we'll check availability.

Why do you send two interpreters per language?

Simultaneous interpreting takes intense concentration. Working in pairs and switching every 20 to 30 minutes keeps accuracy high for the whole event, which is standard practice for sessions longer than about an hour.

Can you interpret on Zoom or Microsoft Teams?

Yes. Our remote interpreters work inside Zoom's language interpretation feature, Teams, Webex and other remote interpretation platforms, so attendees simply pick their language channel.

What equipment does an on-site event need?

Most setups include interpreter booths, consoles, a transmitter and a receiver with headset for each listener. We help you plan the right setup for your room size and number of languages.

What should I send the interpreters before the event?

Agendas, speaker names, slide decks, scripts and any glossaries or acronyms. The more the team sees beforehand, the smoother the interpretation on the day.
