Ideal for meetings and conferences with a large audience. It requires technical equipment, including interpretation booths, corresponding consoles, and sound systems, as well as headphones for listeners. The interpreter provides oral translation while the speaker speaks.
Fast and fluid service.
High cost and need for infrastructure.
In this mode, no booths or infrastructure are needed. The interpreter takes notes during the speech and then delivers the message to the listener in the target language.
No infrastructure required, lower cost.
Slower communication compared to simultaneous interpretation.
Liaison or Bilateral In liaison or bilateral interpretation, the interpreter will interpret between two active parties. Unlike other modes, such as consecutive or simultaneous interpretation, where the interpreter typically needs to interpret from one language to the other, in the bilateral mode, the interpreter is required to excel in expressing themselves in both languages, as both parties will actively intervene. Short interventions are essential for providing seamless service, making this mode ideal for events such as trials, medical services, small group meetings, or press conferences.
Remote Simultaneous This mode has surged in popularity due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced many meetings to be held remotely. Although the pandemic has ended, this type of interpretation seems here to stay. It involves simultaneous interpretation conducted via video call platforms, such as Zoom, which offer built-in interpretation services.
Avoids the need for travel and investment in infrastructure.
Possible technical or connection issues, less reliable.
The rates for each service depend on various factors.
