FAQ
How much does an English interpreter cost per hour?
The costs for an English interpreter are not calculated by the hour. Professional conference and simultaneous interpreters are generally booked for a flat-rate fee. The price depends on various factors, including:
- Area of specialisation and thematic complexity (expected time needed to familiarise themselves with the subject matter)
- Language combination (e.g. German-English or English-French)
- Travel time to and from event venue
- Duration of event
To give you a rough idea: qualified simultaneous interpreters belong to the professional market segment because it is work that involves highly specialised training, extensive preparation and a high degree of concentration.
We would be happy to provide you with a transparent individual offer for your event.
Can AI do the interpreting into English?
For some events, yes. AI simultaneous translation works reliably when the language is prepared: scripted presentations, clearly separated speaker changes and a clean microphone signal.
For technically complex subjects, spontaneous discussions, press events and anywhere a misunderstanding would be costly, a professional English interpreter remains the safe choice.
We offer both and will tell you frankly which one fits your event.
What is the difference between translating and interpreting?
The difference lies in the type of communication:
- Translation is the written rendering of texts (e.g. contracts, reports and presentations).
- Interpreting means translating the spoken word – live and immediately or with a short delay.
As well as excellent linguistic skills, interpreting calls for a high degree of concentration, specialist knowledge and the ability to adjust quickly, particularly in the case of simultaneous interpreting.
So our English interpreters render the spoken word, live at your event.
What is remote interpreting and does it work for English?
We speak of remote interpreting or, when referring to simultaneous interpreting specifically, of Remote Simultaneous Interpreting (RSI), when the interpreters are not in the same physical location as the participants, but work from a remote hub. This may be the case for a fully digital event, where the participants are not in the same location (online interpreting); for a hybrid event, where some participants attend physically and others connect online; or even for an in-person event if, for example, there isn't enough space for an interpreting booth. Whatever the scenario, simultando can provide you with qualified interpreters for your event.
We work this way for English on a regular basis, on request fed in from our own technical studio.
How does online interpreting into English work?
Online interpreting into English happens when a fully digital event is interpreted via digital media. In online events, neither the participants nor the (simultaneous) interpreters are in the same physical location. The interpretation is provided via the internet using suitable technology. Online interpreting is a type of remote interpreting.
What is a hybrid event and does it require specialised English interpreters?
A hybrid event is one where some of the participants attend physically, others connect digitally. simultando can provide you with the right skilled English interpreters for your specific needs.
How does simultaneous interpretation into English work at hybrid events?
Interpreters are usually present on site and use an interpreting console. The interpretation is transmitted via the console to the participants both on site off site. In another scenario, the interpreters themselves also work from an off-site location and connect online, and the interpretation is transmitted to all participants via digital technology. Simultando can provide the suitable technical solution for any hybrid scenario.
Benefit from our experience of almost 25 years in the organisation of interpreting teams and interpreting/conferencing technology in combination with our competence in remote interpreting, one of the most demanding terrains for simultaneous translations.
English interpreters for hybrid events
With a combination of on-location and digital participants, hybrid events have especially high requirements when it comes to communication. Our English interpreters make sure that everything that is said is communicated consistently to all event venues at the same time. Whether a conference, a staff meeting or an international business event, we provide experienced English interpreters and all the technical equipment you need for a hybrid multilingual event.
English interpreters for video and voiceover projects
Precise voice transmission is also crucial for recorded formats. Our English interpreters are at hand to assist you with video productions, voiceovers and voice recordings – for example for corporate films, training videos or internal communications. We will provide an accessible English version for the target group in question and will be actively involved in the entire process from translation to technical coordination.
English interpreters or AI simultaneous translation?
Not every event needs a team of interpreters. If your programme is prepared, if only a few guests need English or if you are asking at short notice, AI simultaneous translation can be the right solution. We set up the system, supply the technology to go with it and tell you frankly when we would recommend an English interpreter instead.

"Dear Ms. Schu,
Thank you very much for the pleasant cooperation for our event "Forced Labour in political detention in the GDR." Such a complex issue requires more than the smooth and professional organisation of interpreting teams and technology. It also required great sensitivity from the interpreters when it came to hitting the right tone and wording. You mastered both of these excellently."
