Given the concentration levels required to listen and interpret at the same time, professional interpreters work in teams of two, alternating every 20 or 30 minutes. We therefore supply two interpreters for each language required.

Simultaneous interpreting can require a large amount of equipment. Interpreters generally work in sound proof booths with microphones and headphones or with a portable interpreting system to ensure total concentration. As a result, Atlas provides all the equipment required to make the interpreting sessions a complete success. For all conferences and conventions, we provide an onsite project manager and/or technician to act as a contact between the interpreters and the client.

Whispered simultaneous interpreting may be more suitable for smaller venues where only one listener needs the speaker's words interpreting. This is a “low tech” form of simultaneous interpreting where it is possible for a single interpreter to work alongside the listener without technical aids.
