How does online interpreting work?

Online interpreting, or remote interpretation, works like conference interpreting: the speaker talks, the interpreter translates at the same time, and each participant chooses a language. The difference: interpreters and participants are connected remotely, from their office, home or an equipped hub.

Zoom and Microsoft Teams include interpretation channels: the organiser enables them, interpreters join, and participants pick their language in one click. For large events, a virtual interpretation platform offers more languages and control.

For a short exchange between two people, consecutive interpreting by videoconference is often enough: the interpreter speaks after each statement, with no special set-up.

Technical tips

What makes remote interpreting work well

Interpreters can only translate what they hear clearly, so the speakers’ sound matters as much as the interpreters.

  • A headset for every speaker: a laptop microphone picks up room echo.
  • A stable connection, ideally wired, for speakers and interpreters.
  • A technical test before the meeting with the interpreters and main speakers.
  • Materials shared in advance: slides, programme and speaker names.

    FAQ

    Online interpreting: frequently asked questions

    Can we have interpreters on Zoom?

    Yes. Zoom has a built-in interpretation feature: the organiser creates language channels, interpreters join them, and each participant chooses a language.

    And on Microsoft Teams?

    Yes, Teams also offers language interpretation in meetings. We help you enable it and test the set-up with you.

    What is the difference between online and remote interpretation?

    None: both describe interpreting where interpreters and participants are connected remotely, by videoconference or platform.

    Do we need two interpreters online?

    For a simultaneous meeting longer than half an hour, yes: as in a booth, two interpreters take turns per language.

    What do speakers need?

    A headset, a stable connection and a quiet place. We run a test before the meeting.

    Can we combine a room and online participants?

    Yes, that is a hybrid event: the same interpreters serve the room and the remote participants.
