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!
As a company listed on the stock exchange, NordTelekom’s written materials are expected to radiate sophistication, whether they are financial statements, contracts, or even simply marketing texts. Afford has been the reliable partner we can count on in any situation. This is particularly important now, as our constant expansion in England requires English, Polish and Hungarian language services. I highly recommend them.
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.
