Translation Services: Simultaneous and Consecutive Interpretation

"Make your next international meeting a linguistic success"

Communication is the key factor in the success of any conference. For an international conference, the need to overcome a language barrier can be critical. In fact, many members with poor English ability may be reluctant to attend if some language assistance is not offered.

Simultaneous interpreting
The LSI simultaneous interpreting service is the solution to this problem. It permits presentations and discussion to proceed at the same pace as a single language conference. Each delegate hears what is being said in his or her own language, whether it be French, German, Japanese, Spanish, or any one of 15 other languages.

The service is a combination of highly talented interpreters and wireless electronic equipment to transmit the interpreters' words to the appropriate listeners.

Linguistic Systems provides a complete package. Our simultaneous interpreters are trained, highly qualified specialists, selected from a pool of over 500, according to subject and native language. All are highly skilled professionals with years of simultaneous interpreting experience. The right experts familiar with the subject matter on your agenda are assigned to your conference.

The equipment is based on infrared wireless transmission, which is not affected by broadcast radio signals, and is widely used by the A/V industry for thousands of conferences each year. Booths meet the ISO-4043 standard for conference facilities. Up to 12 languages and an audiences of unlimited size can be accommodated at any location in North America.

Simultaneous interpreting is the ultimate in hospitality. There is no better way to attract foreign members. Try it in your next promotion. You will be delighted with the response and with the added contribution foreign visitors will make at the conference.

Conferences and small meetings
We also provide simultaneous interpreters and equipment for smaller meetings, usually with 20 or fewer participants. For this type of situation, we use portable wireless FM-based equipment with a range of about 150 feet. The receiver and transmitter are small, and can be carried in a pocket or clipped to a belt for ease of movement, making them appropriate for touring facilities as well as meetings in a single room.

Consecutive interpreting
Consecutive interpreting is appropriate for law offices, insurance firms, and various medical situations where language is a barrier. Consecutive interpreters translate what a person has just said immediately after it has been said. A highly trained consecutive interpreter is able to interpret in both directions, delivering the message with the same intonation and emphasis as each speaker, without embellishment. LSI has frequently provided this service for oral depositions for over 50 languages.
