Remote interpreting is a new service offering that combines the perennial benefits of interpreting, with cost- and environmentally-conscious considerations befitting the modern world.
Interpretation is the process of understanding and translating communication, either spoken or signed, from a source language into a listener’s target language, in as close to real-time as possible. Traditional interpreting sees the interpreter in the same physical location as the speaker(s), whereas remote interpreting leverages technology to allow for interpretation to take place in a remote location.
The two types of interpretation – simultaneous and consecutive – are still applicable for remote interpreting. In the former, the interpreter translates in real-time as the speaker continues to speak, and in the latter they wait for a pause in which to provide the translation.
A remote interpreter does the same thing as a traditional interpreter: that is, listen to spoken or watch signed communication, and translate this into a target language so that people who don’t speak the source language can understand.
A remote interpreter can do their work over the phone, via video conferencing, or other communications platforms. They use specialised equipment to ensure reliable connection and high audio quality in both directions, so that they can hear what’s going on and the audience can hear the translations. Here is a breakdown of their role:
Remote interpretation comes with a range of benefits that will appeal to the unique needs of any business. Here are some of the most notable:

A translator generally translates written communication from one language to one or more other languages. The process allows for more time spent with the source text, and a greater amount of revision and redrafting. While a translator has more time to spend with their text, translation still relies on a high level of comprehension of source and target languages, as well as the nuances and other aspects.
An interpreter translates spoken or signed communication from one language to another, in close to real-time. The underlying skillset is different, as the translation must occur quickly and without the opportunity to review and redraft. Similarly high levels of language comprehension are required for effective interpretation.
The type of technology used can determine difference in the remote interpreting process:
The type of interpreting can also vary, whether it be simultaneous or consecutive as outlined above.
In remote simultaneous interpretation, the interpreter provides a spoken translation of the source communication as quickly as possible. However, despite being called simultaneous, there can be a slight delay between the source and translated communication while the interpreter processes and translates what has been said.
In advance of the interpretation, an interpreter will prepare by reading through relevant materials (such as slide decks, speech outlines, and so on). They may also listen to recordings of the speaker’s voice to get used to their flow and cadence.
Before the event, the interpreter will connect to the event via phone, video, or specialised platform. They will ensure the audio and video feeds are working correctly, and that their interpretations are accessible from the event.
During the event the interpreter will use noise-cancelling headphones and a high-quality mic to ensure they can hear and be heard well. They will listen to the spoken communication, process it, and speak the translated version.
Listeners at the event will hear the translation and may have the option to switch between channels (if there are multiple speakers or translations available).
