Interpreting at Australia’s most important events

Helping event organisers overcome language barriers with simultaneous interpreting at conferences, roundtables and government high-level meetings.

CHINESE INTERPRETING FOR HIGH-LEVEL MEETINGS AND CONFERENCES

Interpreting beside you to deliver a successful event

Successful organisers know how important it is to find the right conference interpreters for their events. They never leave anything to chance and make sure that the Chinese interpreters they work with are not only certified, but tried and tested in this most demanding form of interpreting.

Think about it. Conference or Simultaneous interpreters have to listen through headphones at speech while at the same time converting it accurately and fluently into another language. An inexperienced or untrained interpreter can suddenly transform your speech into a wall of silence.

Multilingual events need conference interpreters

Simultaneous interpreting is considered the highest level of the profession, requiring language fluency, rapid translation, and endurance. It is valued by clients who can run their meetings in real-time without interruption.

How Does It Work?
Specialised equipment is needed, such as soundproof booths and technology to take the audio to the interpreters and relay their interpretation to the audience through headphones or mobile phones. An interpreting team has to be well prepared and skilled to interpret as well as use the equipment. A technician is always onsite.

Simultaneous Interpreters That Seem Too Good to Be True
As with all aspects of business, AI technology is progressing in language translation. We monitor these developments and caution clients to use them with care.

At a recent event, organisers used AI technology to provide simultaneous interpreting. Despite the initial excitement, the “cutting-edge” technology couldn’t keep up with the fast pace of the speeches and accents and ended up providing inaccurate and, at times, comically wrong translations.

We caution organisers to be careful when choosing their Chinese conference interpreters. It is not only your budget on the line, but the risk of critical errors and embarrassment can severely impact your reputation and ongoing business.

Is 'simultaneous interpreting' the same as 'conference interpreting'?

Yes. Simultaneous interpreting is used at conferences (and for other types of meetings), hence it also called ‘conference’ interpreting. This relies on a team of interpreters working together for the duration of the event.

Why do you need 2 interpreters for Simultaneous interpreting?

For Occupational Health reasons, one interpreter can only work for about 20 minutes at a time. The mental exertion required to listen and at the same time speak/convert to another language is extremely taxing. Research studies show that after 20 minutes, performance drops and health can suffer.

What is the difference between consecutive and simultaneous interpreting?

Simultaneous interpreting is when interpreters wear headphones and usually sit in a soundproof booth listening to the speakers and at the same time/in real time convert that speech into another language. This is the hardest and highest level of interpreting and not all interpreters are trained to deliver. Consecutive interpreting, on the other hand, is when a speaker speaks then pauses while the interpreter interprets turnabout. This means the interpreter should take good notes and then translate them back. Interpreters normally start out as consecutive interpreters and the top ones then can be trained to do simultaneous.
