Synchronous Interpretation / Simultaneous Interpretation
The interpreter speaks at the same time, in parallel with the speaker.
The simplest form of this is ear-enunciation interpretation. Accompanying translation – when a smaller team, delegation is accompanied by an interpreter to an event, such as a factory visit – is usually done in simultaneous translation.
Simultaneous or synchronous translation is an excellent solution in the case of conferences and larger events. In this case, conference equipment, Interpretation equipment (interpreters in interpreter booths speak into microphones followed by the audience with multi-channel headphones) helps make it possible to translate what was said into several languages at the same time.
Interpreting of speakers broken down in phases: consecutive interpreting (following interpretation).
Important: a native-language interpreter is not enough! It greatly improves the interpretation quality when background materials are prepared in advance. If you can provide this for your task, then send it to our interpretation office.
Afford’s commitment to confidentiality applies to background material for interpretation as well. Read more about this in our General Terms and Conditions.
In the case of simultaneous interpretation, two interpreters are required per language, as they are constantly rotated. Wages for interpreters are generally accounted for in half (4-hour) or full (8-hour) days. Request a quote, or order an interpretation!
We are always very satisfied with Afford’s work and their kindly attitudes. They’re a pleasure to work with!
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Central Europe, has had a contractual relationship with Afford since 2009. Generally, we request the translation of complicated legal texts, often with very short deadlines. We always get quality work that holds our long-standing working relationship together. We especially appreciate the high degree of flexibility, customer orientation and personalized, custom administration, as well as the confidential treatment of materials sent. It is important that we can always count on Afford. Moreover, Afford is open to criticism and suggestions for improvement, and requests these, because they are progress-oriented.
Abacus Medicine is an ever-growing company with a social goal of providing life-saving medicines to people at a lower price. We only work with qualified, reliable suppliers and strive for long-term partnerships to keep our purpose. We have been cooperating with Afford for 5 years now, we regularly order translations.
As our commercial, networking and knowledge transfer activities become more intense across Europe, we are already translating our leaflets into German and English from 16 different languages (such as Portuguese, Dutch and Lithuanian) with the Afford team.
Our goal is to work with a translation agency that can consistently provide good quality, paying attention to the correct use of pharmaceutical terminology that is very important to us. They have never disappointed us before!
