Have you ever found yourself searching for just the right word to express a particular meaning or sentiment? Now, imagine doing that at a high-profile business event where a client’s satisfaction is made or broken based on the words you choose. Choosing the wrong word or phrase can lead to misunderstanding or falling behind in the conversation – and that can mean losing a client altogether. There’s no room for that in the competitive world of business.

Simultaneous Interpreters possess a unique talent. This skill does not require simply being fluent in two languages. The interpreter must be able to instantly convert one language into the other in a manner that also carries the same tone, inflection, meaning, nuances and energy of the original speaker. It is truly of “multi-lingual multi-tasking” – and not all simultaneous interpreters have the same skill level.

At Chang-Castillo and Associates, we know first-hand how important it is to have the heart of your information interpreted along with the words. Our company is owned and operated by professional interpreters and translators. We are passionate about conveying words and meaning precisely and accurately from the source language to the target language – while simultaneously preserving cultural integrity. We offer simultaneous interpretation services both locally and worldwide, using our international network of professional translators and interpreters.

What is Simultaneous Interpretation?

The best way to understand simultaneous interpretation is to picture a United Nations meeting. Nearly 200 UN members from all over the world gather to discuss pressing global issues. English is one the official languages of the UN, but many of the participating delegates are not fluent. Others prefer to have more complex issues communicated in their native language so they can focus their energies on the issues at hand, rather than on mental translations.

As a result, booth after booth is filled with simultaneous interpreters who, equipped with headsets and microphones, listen to the speaker and nearly simultaneously transform those words into the target language. Ideally, the translation occurs in real-time, with minimal delays and zero interruptions. This is an example of simultaneous interpretation on the grand scale.

On a smaller level, simultaneous interpretation is used for larger-scale events such as:

  • Court procedures
  • Training seminars
  • Tours and site visits
  • Conventions and trade shows
  • Business or board meetings
  • International conferences
  • Diplomatic events
  • Sales presentations
  • Teleconferences

One of the greatest benefits of our simultaneous interpreting service, versus consecutive interpretation, is the amount of time it saves. With consecutive interpretation [add link to consecutive interpretation section], the individuals involved in the conversation wait as information is translated between parties. While there are also situations where consecutive interpretation is preferable, with simultaneous interpretation, communication takes place in real-time.

Not only does this save time and money, but it also helps to capitalize on the energy of the moment, making it easier to convey feelings, emotions, and nuances that can get lost between consecutive pauses. The participants and/or audience feel like they are communicating more directly with the speaker or instructor.

Why choose Chang-Castillo and Associates for Your Professional Events?

Chang-Castillo and Associates (CCA) provides the platinum standard for professional translation and interpretation worldwide. We strive to provide precise, accurate translations that are as successful at translating the direct meaning of the spoken word as they are the important nuances that play out in conversations.

Says the Executive Director of the Salzburg Global Seminar:

“Chang-Castillo and Associates were meticulous in their preparation and delivery. They were not merely accurate in their interpreting, but worked so hard to ensure the ideas being expressed came fully to life.”

That is the difference between successful simultaneous interpretation and interpretations that are less careful in their execution; the former comes to life while the latter leaves listeners with the impression that a speaker or presenter is one-dimensional and boring.

Clients say…
  • I hired CCA to provide simultaneous interpretation support into French, German, Russian, and English during events in 3 different countries organized by my company with over 200 attendees. The technicians and interpreters were highly professional, friendly and well prepared. All 3 events went very smoothly and all participants were very satisfied with the quality of the interpretation work. Communication with the organizers was easy, and smooth. The project was handled very professionally. Working with you has been a pleasure too. Thank you for being so responsive and available. There is nothing I could think of that could have made the process easier. I will definitely use CCA's services again in the future.

  • Chang-Castillo and Associates were meticulous in their preparation and delivery. They were not merely accurate in their interpreting, but worked so hard to ensure the ideas being expressed came fully to life. Just got back from a conference in Hungary where the interpreters sent everyone to sleep – flat as a pancake. A great contrast with Chang-Castillo and Associates!
    John Lotherington
    Executive Director, Salzburg Global Seminar
  • I cannot overstress the wonderful working relationship we had with you and your staff during our World Meet Conference in Louisville, Kentucky. You certainly took charge of this aspect of our event to ensure that everything was in place and well-rehearsed prior to the first speaker taking the stage. From the onset, I realized that we were in good hands. Onsite, we found your staff of interpreters to be courteous, well-educated and well suited to the intricacies of working within a high-attendance conference situation. It is a good thing that for the most part, we didn't even know they were there! Judging by reviews we received from our international attendees, your staff also was superb in their language skills. I should also mention that we found your services were competitively-priced and fit well within our budget. We will certainly be in touch prior to our next annual conference event.
    Tom Tulloch
    NASPL (The North American State and Provincial Lotteries), Director of Administration
