The Complete Guide to Simultaneous Interpretation at Conferences
How simultaneous interpretation works, what equipment is involved, when it makes sense, and how to choose the right setup for your event.
Simultaneous interpretation & multilingual events
A complete solution — interpretation equipment, sound reinforcement and interpreter coordination — for conferences in Chișinău where every participant understands everything, in their own language.
We provide simultaneous interpretation services (often called "simultaneous translation") in Chișinău, as an all-inclusive solution: interpretation equipment, full sound reinforcement, and, on request, the interpreter team — through a single provider, with no separate sound vendor to coordinate. We maintain our own fleet of 300+ Williams Sound receivers and 7 interpretation booths, bringing exactly what each event needs — with the capacity to cover 5-10 events in parallel. From certified booths and Bosch DICENTIS digital systems to receivers for hundreds of participants, we deliver a flawless multilingual experience for your conference. Recent projects include a European Commission TAIEX training session, with 50 participants and 6 working languages, in hybrid format.
What we offer
7 booths, ISO 4043 and ISO 2603
From our fleet of 7 interpretation booths (ISO 4043 mobile, ISO 2603 fixed), we bring exactly as many as your language combination needs — typically, the number of languages minus one.
300+ receivers
From our fleet of 300+ Williams Sound receivers and headsets, we bring exactly the number your event needs — from a few dozen up to several hundred participants.
Sound system included, one single provider
Active speakers, a digital mixer, and table and handheld microphones come included as part of the complete solution, sized for your venue — no need for a separate sound-system provider.
Professional interpreters
On request, we coordinate the right interpreter team for your event's languages.
On-site technical support
Dedicated technicians who install, test and monitor the system throughout the event, at any venue or hotel in Chișinău and the surrounding area.
How it works
1
The interpreter listens to the speaker
From the sound-isolated booth, through the console and headset, the interpreter follows the original speech in real time.
2
Translates live, with no pause
With a delay of just a few seconds, the interpreter renders the speech in the other language while the speaker continues uninterrupted.
3
The participant receives the translation
Through the Williams Sound receiver and headset, each participant selects their preferred language channel and listens to the live translation.
4
Our technicians monitor everything
From setup and testing to monitoring the system throughout the event — we step in immediately if any technical issue comes up.

What is simultaneous interpretation?
How simultaneous interpretation works, what equipment it requires and when you need it at a multilingual event.
Frequently asked questions
What equipment do you use for simultaneous interpretation?
We use Bosch DICENTIS digital systems — the only fully digital systems available in the Republic of Moldova — and 300+ Williams Sound receivers. Our 7 interpretation booths meet the ISO 4043 (mobile) and ISO 2603 (fixed) standards, suited for both portable setups and permanent installations.
How many participants can a simultaneous interpretation system serve?
With 300+ receivers available, we cover conferences from a few dozen up to several hundred participants, and our 7 booths let us cover 5-10 events in parallel. We size the system precisely for your event.
Do you also provide interpreters, not just equipment?
Yes — on request, we coordinate the right team of professional interpreters for your event's languages, in addition to the technical equipment.
Does simultaneous interpretation work for hybrid or online events too?
Yes — we also offer remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI), integrated with platforms like Zoom and Teams, for participants joining online. See our dedicated hybrid events page.
How far in advance should interpretation equipment be booked?
We recommend booking at least 1-2 weeks in advance, especially for large events or busy periods, but feel free to contact us anytime to check availability.
Are "simultaneous translation" and "simultaneous interpretation" the same thing?
Yes, in everyday language the two terms are used interchangeably for the same service — real-time translation of speech at events. Technically, "interpretation" is the correct term for spoken language and "translation" for written documents, but we provide the same service whichever term you use.
