A hybrid event is always a challenge. Add several different languages to the equation and things get, well, let's say interesting. But simultaneous interpreting solutions are available, and so are agencies with the experience to make them work. One of them is our company, Syntax Sprachen in Frankfurt. Let's talk about what you need and then we'll see what works best for you.

Simultaneous translation at a hybrid meeting – a case study
An international company based in Frankfurt organizes their Supervisory Board meetings as hybrid events. There is the physical meeting in a conference room in Frankfurt. And there is a video conference for those who can't travel. The two meetings are linked up so that everybody can see and hear everybody else, no matter where they are. During the meeting the discussion runs as smoothly as if everybody was in the same room – a little like a professional talk show. The languages used are German and English.
Here is how it works: The client books the simultaneous interpreters of Syntax Sprachen and all the equipment needed, which is set up in the conference room. The interpreters work on-site, where they can best keep tabs on the proceedings and where technical support is available if needed. The on-site meeting delegates use receivers with earphones to listen to the translation. As for the video participants, it's best to use a multi-channel platform where all users can simply choose their language on screen. In this particular case the customer requirement is for a specific platform to be used, which isn't multi-channel, so a workaround solution is created.
Key benefits
- more people are able to attend (with no additional cost)
- greater interaction, because there is no language barrier
- reduced traveling cost
- sleek professional appearance (when working with experienced agencies)
