What our clients are saying
​"I would like to commend Alphonso and the Congress Rental team for their immerse support on interpretation services for our first virtual kick-off event. Not only were they professional, reliable and helpful towards our needs, they strived to provide excellent technical advice and walked us through contingency planning. Congress Rental understood our needs and provided insights that made our journey throughout the event a lot easier. I will strongly recommend Congress Rental as the holistic solution provider for interpretation support and hybrid planning event services, and definitely Alphonso as the to-go advisor."

What is Simultaneous Interpretation and how does it work?
Simultaneous Interpretation (​also known as Simultaneous Translation) requires specialised conference interpreters who can interpret spoken words as it's being spoken. This reduces the time that delegates need to wait before being able to understand the speaker and preserves the flow of speech. There are three main steps in the Simultaneous Interpretation process supported by dedicated simultaneous interpretation equipment to ensure a high level of professionalism:
​Step 1: Floor Language is Spoken
The ‘floor language’, spoken by the guest speaker, conference lecturer or main presenter is transmitted wirelessly through the main microphone or ‘floor feed’ to the translation control room.
Step 2: Interpreters Listen
The control room is usually in a separate location in a soundproof interpreting/translation booth or sometimes at the back of the auditorium. From here, the interpreter or interpreting team listens to the content live as it is broadcast.
Step 3: Interpretation and Delivery
The content is concurrently replicated and interpreted by the interpreter(s) in the Interpretation booth, which is delivered wirelessly to the corresponding audience members through infrared headsets.
