At the beginning of the 1960s, "Dolmetschung" disappeared from the dictionary, not because it was wrong, but because it hardly ever occurs any more.

Organizing interpreters (also known as consultant interpreters) help conference organizers and event agencies to plan and organize larger teams of interpreters – whenever several languages and language combinations are required.

It is also increasingly being used as an additional tool for inclusion at meetings and conferences. Language offered.

For this purpose, they sit in a soundproof interpreting booth on site or are available remotely from a Interpreting studio switched on (Remote Interpreting). The transmission to the participants takes place, for example, quite simply via Receiver with headphones, via stream or, as described above, via live subtitling.

Simultaneous technology is special conference technology that supports simultaneous interpreting.

The interpreter listens to the speaker and translates what is being said virtually in real time. This service requires a high level of concentration and experience, as the interpreter has to listen, analyze and speak into another language at the same time.

The transmission to the participants also takes place here via simultaneous technology, e.g. quite simply via Receiver with headphones or, of course, via stream.
