Simultaneous Interpretation: Breaking Language Barriers in Real-Time

In today’s globalized world, simultaneous interpretation is a cornerstone of effective communication at multilingual events. Whether it’s an international conference, a corporate seminar, or a diplomatic meeting, simultaneous interpretation ensures every participant is heard and understood without delay.

Most people think of a UN assembly when they hear the words “simultaneous interpretation”. It’s easy to think so, since such environment is the perfect example of what the world is: a group of people from various cultures and backgrounds, who speak different languages, trying to communicate with many others.

SLS offers a wide range of interpretation services aimed to help you achieve your communication and strategic goals. We guarantee you’ll experience outstanding, accuracy-oriented services in every one of your events.

What is Simultaneous Interpretation?

Simultaneous interpretation is the ability to listen to a message delivered in a language while interpreting those words into another language, all in real time. This demanding, highly-skilled craft is used for industry conferences, sales meetings, international seminars and training seminars, governmental meetings, legal settings and trade shows, among many other instances.

In every case, the use of simultaneous interpreters is pivotal to the success of the event, since among all the specific goals on the agenda, one of the prime objectives is to achieve an effective and accurate communication.

This modality of interpretation generally requires the use of equipment, thus enabling transmission to audiences, large or small. For the most part, skilled simultaneous interpreters work in pairs, in order to be able to maintain the concentration required to perform the task at hand.
