How Our Interpreters Work
In a conference setting where there are more than two or three languages involved, each interpreter translates between their native tongue and an agreed control language, like English.
Our in-person Audio Technicians guard against malfunction. A channel is assigned to each language so that every member of the audience hears their own language. If there is any disconnect, it could have a cascading effect on all the interpreters and the participants at the conference!
Reach a Better Understanding
Originally, interpreters would stand directly behind the listener and whisper in their ear. This technique, called chuchoter, which is the French word for “whisper,” is still used today in certain circumstances.
After World War II, electronic interpreting equipment was devised. Can you imagine all the wires joining each speaker and listener in a complex web?
Luckily, in the 21st Century, languages travel through the air silently, in the form of radio waves or infrared signals, and today we have all kinds of modern interpreting equipment for large groups.
We Have the Technology- and the Highest Quality Interpreters
The technology of interpretation itself has not changed much—today we still rely on the unsurpassed encyclopedic knowledge and savant ability of our human interpreters!
There are different kinds of interpreting equipment, depending on the needs of your event. The basic kinds of equipment are:
- Microphones for the presenters and participants.
- Sound-proof booths for real time, simultaneous interpreters.
- Monitoring equipment for interpreters.
- Microphones for the interpreters.
- Earphones for conference participants to listen in their own language.
These basic types of conferencing equipment are always needed, but the specific technology varies depending on the size of the group, the configuration(size and shape) of the venue, the portability desired, and your budget. We can help you determine your equipment needs.
Have a Plan:
Our Project Managers Pull Everything Together
Your Conference is not just another conference, you’ve chosen to include people from around the world as participants. Your Project Manager will start planning early to take into account the language needs of your large group, anywhere in the world. He or she will gather all the information about your event and then coordinate the appropriate services and equipment. The PM will ascertain whether there is space in your venue for the interpreters to sit in the back or to the side of the general conference room.
American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation and assistive listening for hearing-impaired audience members should always be provided to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. We welcome the opportunity to make your conference the international event that you envision.
