Simultaneous interpreters in Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main region: for on-site events, online meetings or hybrid conferences
A financial centre, a trade fair city, an international hub: Frankfurt is many things at once. As a full-service agency we are there for you throughout the Rhine-Main region, whether live, online or hybrid. Simultaneous interpreters for a shareholder meeting, a supervisory board meeting, a capital markets day or a trade fair congress? We are ready for that. Our large team of Frankfurt interpreters is at home here. That brings local knowledge you cannot pick up from a book. Our technicians know what matters, too: they have long known many venues in and around Frankfurt from the inside.
Simultaneous interpreters and the right interpreting equipment come from a single source with us in Frankfurt. We coordinate everything for you. How our simultaneous interpreters work, and why we always interpret in teams of two, is explained in detail on our main page. Benefit from 30 years of experience in the conference business.
Our services for interpreters and equipment in Frankfurt
Simultaneous interpreters in Frankfurt
From a two-person team for German and English to a large interpreting team for your international conference: you get the right team for every scale. Do get in touch early, then we plan together from the start.
Format, team size, equipment: we work all of that out with you calmly, ideally before you book. And if it has to happen quickly, for a press appointment arranged at short notice? Not a problem, our interpreters in Frankfurt are there. Whether at the Congress Center of Messe Frankfurt, at Kap Europa, at FOUR or at the Stadthaus, whether right at the airport at The Square or the Sheraton Hotel: we know the stage before you step onto it. Many of our clients in the Rhine-Main region have been coming back to us for years. We are glad of that trust, and every time we do our best to earn it anew.
Whispered and escort interpreting in Frankfurt
Not every meeting needs an interpreting booth, and sometimes there is no room for one anyway. For round-table meetings we therefore work with mobile interpreting equipment, a tour guide system: our interpreters speak the interpretation into a microphone and your participants hear it through a receiver set. The interpreting is still simultaneous, with no booth and no whispering over anyone shoulder. Your participants move freely and the interpretation always reaches them directly.
For factory tours, delegation visits, receptions or guided tours of trade fairs in Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main region we are mobile in a different way: our interpreters accompany your guests all day, however many stops there are along the way. Here too the mobile tour guide system is in use and keeps the interpretation clear, even when it gets loud around you.
Interpreting equipment in Frankfurt
However good our interpreters are, simultaneous interpreting does not work without the right equipment. That is why you get both from us together, precisely matched to each other:
- For on-site events: interpreting booth(s) with infrared or radio, plus transmission technology, receivers and headphones. Microphones, loudspeakers and other conference equipment can be added on request, as a complete worry-free package.
- For online events: we set up the technical solution to suit your tool, whether Zoom, Teams or another platform.
- For hybrid formats: equipment on site and the right connection for our simultaneous interpreters, whether with you in person or joining remotely. We advise you on what works best and then implement it.
- Set-up, test run and technical support from our team on site
- Local knowledge in the Rhine-Main region: that saves a round of coordination or two.
A complete package, put together entirely to suit your needs.
Voice recordings by interpreters or voice artists in Frankfurt
Would you like to use your recorded event or video conference internationally? Or release a product launch video in several languages on social media? We make your content multilingual, and there are three ways to do it:
- Subsequent simultaneous interpreting: our simultaneous interpreters speak your video into the target language spontaneously, with a genuinely live feel. Particularly suitable for longer recordings of complete events.
- Voiceover with professional voice artists: first the written translation, then the right voice, then the recording studio. Ideal for shorter formats such as image films or product presentations.
- Transcription in all languages: we put your video into writing, professionally and quickly. On request we produce matching subtitles straight away.
Our sectors and specialist areas
Simultaneous interpreters for finance and capital markets
Frankfurt is Germany's financial centre. That is exactly why our interpreters are regularly at work here, for example at:
- Shareholder meetings and supervisory board meetings
- Capital markets days and analyst conferences
- Annual results press conferences
- Sales conferences for banks and insurers
Figures, deadlines, wording: at financial events every word counts, and the public is often listening in. Our simultaneous interpreters know the terminology and work through your documents thoroughly in advance. We bring the matching interpreting equipment along too.
Interpreters for science, medicine and pharmaceuticals
The Rhine-Main region is a strong location for pharmaceuticals, chemicals and research. Our experienced interpreters work their way thoroughly into complex specialist subjects, for example at:
- Medical conferences and scientific congresses
- Scientific symposia
- Trade fair congresses
- Events in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries
Precise terminology is not a bonus here, it is a prerequisite. Many of our simultaneous interpreters have specialised in medical and scientific terminology over many years. They know not only the technical terms, but also the context behind them, for instance with study results or clinical data.
And technical terms do not forgive background noise. That is why we use professional interpreting equipment that transmits every detail cleanly. Your participants simply listen instead of straining to hear.
Simultaneous interpreters for business and corporate events
Mechanical engineering, chemicals, logistics, automotive: there are many global players around Frankfurt. Our simultaneous interpreters are on duty there accordingly often, for example at:
- Town hall meetings and European works councils
- Sales and management conferences
- Kick-off events
- Negotiations and audits
- Company anniversaries and celebrations
Precision is what counts at events like these: coordinating team and equipment, briefings, schedules, documents, support on site. There is a lot to think of. We keep an eye on it so that you can concentrate on your event.
Corporate events no longer end at the door of the hall. Anyone who cannot be there in person joins remotely, often worldwide and in several languages. We handle both, the interpreting and the technical implementation. That way your event reaches everyone, and you do not have to coordinate two service providers.
Your specialist field is not in the list above? Ask us anyway. Our focus areas have grown over the years, and our team is at home in many other subjects too. Tell us about your event.
What our customers say
"We have relied on simultando's full-service package for our international sales meetings since 2014. The preparation and organisation on site are always flawless. The interpreters always provide an excellent interpretation, as our colleagues from England have repeatedly confirmed. Especially with products like ours, this is certainly not self-evident: presentations and speeches at our events are highly technical. We are happy to have found a reliable partner who we have worked with for many years now, and who has always provided perfect support for our conferences."
"Dear Ms Schu,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for our cooperation over the past years and am already looking forward to carrying out events together with you in future. Not only does your team always master the highly specialised, technical discussions at our polyurethane cast elastomer industry meetings, we also appreciate the great organisational preparation of the event and the friendliness of our contacts."
"Dear Ms. Schu,
For almost 20 years now, you and your team have always been a reliable and competent partner to us. You have worked with us since you provided the interpreting teams for English, French, Spanish and Czech and the required interpreting equipment when our European works council was founded in 2002. Without your excellent simultaneous interpretation and professional equipment – nowadays, online technologies – we would not have been able to hold our international meetings. Over the years, you always reacted flexibly to changes and made sure everyone understands perfectly at Town Hall Meetings and in countless rounds of negotiations. In the automotive industry, we know exactly how important reliable partners are, and we would like to thank you for being that."
"As part of an international training programme for teachers, we commissioned simultando with translations from English into German and vice versa. Du to the Covid crisis, the Boston Perkins Institute's Syllabus course had to be held online. The course is a continued education programme for teachers and integration assistants working with deafblind children, and its subject requires knowledge of specific technical terminology and a good understanding of the course context. We had 22 tutorials translated ahead of the course itself, which proved as the ideal way of preparing for the subject. The communication with simultando in the run-up to the event and during the entire course was excellent. Thanks to clear agreements on processes and terminology, the simultaneous interpretation for the six live course dates was of exceptionally high quality. We thank the extremely dedicated and competent team, and can clearly recommend simultando."

FAQ Simultandolmetscher in Frankfurt
What does a simultaneous interpreter in Frankfurt cost?
The cost depends on the language combination, the length of the event, the size of the team and the equipment required. An individual quote can only be prepared once these details have been clarified.
Can I book a simultaneous interpreter in Frankfurt at short notice?
Yes, short-notice bookings for conferences are possible with simultando, for example for a press conference arranged at short notice. Interpreting equipment can usually still be organised at short notice as well.
Which Frankfurt venues does simultando already know?
simultando has already worked at many venues in Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main region, among them the Congress Center of Messe Frankfurt, Kap Europa, FOUR and Stadthaus Frankfurt.
Can I also book interpreters for visits to public authorities or court hearings through simultando?
No. For visits to public authorities and court hearings, colleagues who specialise in that field are the right people to contact.
Which languages does simultando provide interpreters for in Frankfurt?
In Frankfurt simultando provides interpreters for all European and Asian conference languages, from common languages to rare combinations.
How do you recognise excellent simultaneous interpreters in Frankfurt?
You recognise excellent interpreters by their academic training (diploma or master degree), by demonstrable experience, by their specialisation in the relevant subject area and by thorough preparation of the content before every event.
Can interpreters also work directly at Frankfurt Airport?
Yes. There are several conference venues around the airport for short international meetings, such as The Square or the Sheraton Hotel. That is particularly practical when participants travel in from different countries and fly back the same day. Interpreting equipment can be set up there without any problem.
Which cities in the Rhine-Main region do interpreters work in?
Besides Frankfurt, the catchment area includes Wiesbaden, Mainz, Darmstadt, Offenbach and Bad Homburg, among others. Our interpreters usually travel in on the day of the event; for appointments in the region overnight stays are not necessary in most cases.
Which interpreting equipment do I need for my event in Frankfurt?
That depends on the format of your event: classic conferences use an interpreting booth and receivers, guided tours or smaller groups use a mobile tour guide system, and online or hybrid events use platforms such as Zoom, Teams or Webex.
