Help delegates follow the programme in their own language while speakers continue. Tân Việt coordinates interpreter preparation, specialist materials and technical requirements for conferences in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and other major cities.

When is this service right for you?

Suitable for corporate conferences, forums, product launches and training with a larger audience. Simultaneous interpreting reduces pauses after every speech segment. For a small group with brief exchanges, we can discuss whether consecutive interpreting is a more appropriate arrangement. Describe the languages spoken and the translations each audience needs, rather than only listing a total number of languages.

Scope and working arrangements

The plan covers language directions, subject matter, duration and interpreter rotation. Clients can review relevant profiles and discuss the content beforehand. Booths, receivers and technical staff must be explicitly included if required; an interpreter booking alone does not establish their inclusion. Interpreters coordinate on source audio and content, while the technical team operates the equipment within the agreed scope.

Keep the programme moving without losing meaning

Simultaneous interpreting suits conferences with consecutive presentations and audiences who need to follow a translation as the speaker continues. Clear source audio, visibility of slides and current reference materials matter as much as delivery. Compare the scope of interpreting staff separately from booths, receivers and technical support. Staffing and rotation should reflect the duration and intensity of the programme.

Illustrative scenario

In an illustrative Vietnamese–English seminar for 120 delegates, a question from the audience is inaudible in the booth because the participant has no microphone. A roaming microphone, a moderator and a channel announcement at the start make the Q&A easier to follow.

Client preparation checklist

  • Send the agenda, slides, speaker names and required interpreting directions.
  • Agree booth location, audio feeds, presentation visibility and receiver quantities with the technical team.
  • Confirm interpreter rotation, working periods and breaks before finalising the programme.

Practical point

Test presentations, videos and questions from the back of the room before admitting delegates, rather than testing only the main microphone.

What to send for a quotation

For a tailored proposal, send dates, venue, delegate numbers, listening languages and a draft agenda. An outline is useful even before final slides are ready. Tell us about recording, video translation, streaming and possible overruns early, as these affect configuration and working time.

Frequently asked questions

Does booking an interpreter include equipment?

Only when the quotation says so. Check receivers, booths, microphones, technicians, installation and rehearsal time before confirming.

Can one interpreter work continuously all day?

Staffing should reflect workload, duration and complexity. Tân Việt reviews the agenda before proposing suitable rotation and breaks.

What if a speaker changes at short notice?

Send the new name, content and slides to the coordinator. We review feasibility, terminology and any change in scope before delivery.
