Simultaneous interpretation at conferences
Participants can choose a language channel on the headset when the interpretation audio is sent into the system.
Language channels and multilingual meetings
Interpretation equipment with wireless headsets
For simultaneous interpretation and multilingual meetings, participants can listen to the channel they need in the headset. GoSilent helps plan how the original audio, interpreter and language channel connect.
When it fits
Clear audio for one or more languages.
Interpretation equipment with headsets can be useful when participants follow the same program in different languages, and the original audio must reach the interpreter clearly.
Multilingual meetings
Language channels can be planned for meetings, seminars and gatherings where several languages are used.
Language channels for participants
Each language stream gets a channel, and participants are told which channel to listen to.
When fixed equipment is too large
Wireless headsets can be useful when the venue or event makes fixed interpretation equipment less practical.
How the setup works
The interpreter speaks, participants choose their language.
A good interpretation setup must consider the original audio, interpreter position, channel choice and the venue itself.
01
Languages and program
You describe the languages, number of participants and how the program is built.
02
Audio source
We clarify the original audio, interpretation audio and how the sound is sent into the transmitter.
03
Channel plan
Each language stream gets a clear channel. Participant information and labeling should be planned before the event.
04
Event delivery
Delivery, pickup, support and staffing are agreed based on size and need.
What we need from you
Tell us what you need, and we plan the setup.
Give us the languages, program and venue. Then we suggest a setup that fits.
Languages and channels
How many languages will be interpreted, and should all be available at the same time?
Interpreter and work form
Tell us where the interpreter will sit, and how they will hear the original audio.
Venue and audio sources
Describe the stage, microphones, mixer and interpreter room if one is used.
Participants and logistics
Give an estimate of the number of headsets, handout, return and any need for support during the event.
Interpretation or translation equipment?
Some organizers call this translation equipment, but for live speech the correct term is interpretation equipment. Translation normally means written text. Interpretation means spoken language during a meeting or event.
Frequently asked questions about interpretation equipment.
Short answers to what organizers ask most often before an event with interpretation.
How many language channels can be used?
GoSilent can be set up with up to 12 channels. The right number depends on the event, the interpreters and the channel plan.
Can this be used for simple interpretation setups?
Yes. It can work well when participants need to hear one or more languages in headsets. We review the languages, audio sources and venue before we recommend a setup.
What is the difference between interpretation equipment and translation equipment?
Some organizers call this translation equipment, but for live speech the correct term is interpretation equipment. Translation normally means written text. Interpretation means spoken language during a meeting or event.
What is the difference between simultaneous and consecutive interpretation?
In simultaneous interpretation, the interpreter translates while the speaker is talking. In consecutive interpretation, the interpreter usually waits until the speaker has said a section before translating it.
Where should the interpreter sit?
The interpreter must be able to hear the original audio clearly and work in a suitable way. Placement is reviewed based on the venue, audio source, program and working conditions.
