Simultaneous interpreters and translators for all your interpreting needs
We know how to bring your message across!

Stable internet connections and technical support for participants make sure your online events runs perfectly.
How much does a simultaneous interpreter cost per hour?
The costs for an interpreter are not calculated by the hour. Professional conference and simultaneous interpreters are generally booked for a flat-rate fee. The price depends on various factors, including:
- Area of specialisation and thematic complexity (expected time needed to familiarise themselves with the subject matter)
- Language combination (e.g. German-English or English-Chinese)
- Travel time to and from event venue
- Duration of event
To give you a rough idea: qualified simultaneous interpreters belong to the professional market segment because it is work that involves highly specialised training, extensive preparation and a high degree of concentration.
We would be happy to provide you with a transparent individual offer for your event.
What is online interpreting?
Online interperting happens when a fully digital event is interpreted via digital media. In online events, neither the participants nor the (simultaneous) interpreters are in the same physical location. The interpretation is provided via the the internet using suitable technology. Online interpreting is a type of remote interpreting.
What is remote interpreting?
We speak of remote interpreting or, when referring to simultaneous interpreting specifically, of Remote Simultaneous Interpreting (RSI), when the interpreters are not in the same physical location as the participants, but work from a remote hub. This may be the case for a fully digital event, where the participants are not in the same location (online interpreting); for a hybrid event, where some participants attend physically and others connect online; or even for an in-person event if, for example, there isn't enough space for an interpreting booth. Whatever the scenario, simultando can provide you with qualified interpreters for your event.
What is a hybrid event and does it require specialised interpreters?
A hybrid event is one where some of the participants attend physically, others connect digitally. simultando can provide you with the right skilled interpreters for your specific needs.
How does simultaneous interpretation through qualified interpeters in hybrid events work?
Interpreters are usually present on site and use an interpreting console. The interpretation is transmitted via the console to the participants both on site off site. In another scenario, the interpreters themselves also work from an off-site location and connect online, and the interpretation is transmitted to all participants via digital technology. Simultando can provide the suitable technical solution for any hybrid scenario.
Benefit from our experience of almost 25 years in the organisation of interpreting teams and interpreting/conferencing technology in combination with our competence in remote interpreting, one of the most demanding terrains for simultaneous translations.
Solutions for hybrid events and video
Hybrid events – simultaneous interpretation for the best of both worlds!
Ever since the Covid pandemic, we know that video conferences work well. We also know that we can reach significantly more people with an online event than with a regular face-to-face event. Online meetings save time and money on travel, and make meetings enable meeting others even when travelling to a venue is simply not possible. Simultaneous interpreters are an essential success factor for this type of event.
But in online settings, we miss personal interaction and exchange over a cup of coffee during coffee breaks. So why not go for the best of both worlds? We can organise professional simultaneous interpreters for a simultaneous translation of your hybrid event, plus the required technical solutions – in state-of-the-art quality, of course.
Recorded simultaneous interpretation or voice-overs by interpreters or speakers: our value-adding service!
Add value to your event by extending it to several languages: increasingly, clients approach us because they would like to use their video material to promote their products or services internationally or share knowledge and ideas with team members from all over the world.
Make use of our voice recording services, provided as subsequent simultaneous interpretation by excellent interpreters to give your videos a live feel or as a professional voice-over in sound studio quality.
By the way: Of course, we also offer the full range of interpreting modes, not just simultaneous interpretation. We can provide consecutive interpreting, whispered interpreting with tour guide systems, dialogue interpreting etc.

"Dear Ms. Schu,
Thank you very much for the pleasant cooperation for our event "Forced Labour in political detention in the GDR." Such a complex issue requires more than the smooth and professional organisation of interpreting teams and technology. It also required great sensitivity from the interpreters when it came to hitting the right tone and wording. You mastered both of these excellently."
