What is interpretation, and how is it different from translation?
Interpretation converts spoken language in real time, while translation converts written text. An interpreter listens to a speaker in one language and delivers the same message in another, keeping the meaning, tone and intent. Because there is no time to look things up, interpreters need excellent command of both languages, strong subject knowledge and careful preparation before each assignment. If you also need documents translated for the same meeting or event, see our document translation service.
Which interpretation services do we offer?
| Service | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Simultaneous interpretation | Interpreters translate in real time, usually from a booth with headsets | Conferences, seminars and events |
| Consecutive interpretation | The speaker pauses; the interpreter renders each segment | Meetings, negotiations and small group settings |
| Online interpretation | Remote interpreting using the latest technology | Virtual meetings, webinars, video conferences |
| On-site interpretation | The interpreter attends in person | Business meetings, technical meetings, market surveys |
| Escort interpretation | The interpreter accompanies your team in Vietnam | Business trips, negotiations, site visits |
Which interpreting mode should you choose?
- Large audience, tight schedule: simultaneous interpretation keeps the event running without pauses, but it needs booths, headsets and normally a team of two interpreters who take turns.
- Meetings and negotiations: consecutive interpretation needs no equipment and gives both sides time to think, at the cost of a longer meeting.
- Visits, trips and factory tours: escort interpretation gives you an interpreter at your side throughout the day.
- Participants in different locations: online interpretation works on common video conferencing platforms.

Frequently asked questions about interpretation services
What is the difference between simultaneous and consecutive interpreting?
In simultaneous interpreting, the interpreter speaks at the same time as the speaker, usually from a booth with headsets, which suits conferences. In consecutive interpreting, the speaker pauses after each segment so the interpreter can render it, which suits meetings and small groups.
What are the three types of interpreting?
The three most commonly cited modes are simultaneous, consecutive and whispered (chuchotage) interpreting. Services such as escort, liaison and remote interpreting use these modes in different settings.
How much does an interpreter cost for an hour?
The cost depends on the type of interpreting, the subject matter, the duration and location of the assignment, and whether equipment is needed. Contact EliteTrans for a free, no-obligation quote.
