Remote Multilingual
Interpretation Services on Zoom

Remote work has become a daily reality for many organizations, and Zoom remains one of the most preferred platforms worldwide. At Trusted Translations, our expert linguists specialize in providing seamless, Professional Zoom Interpretation for meetings, webinars, and conferences. Whether you need Zoom Business Interpretation Services or Zoom Professional Interpretation Services, we are your ideal partner for all your remote interpretation needs.

Variations on Remote Interpretation Services

Remote language interpretation can be conducted either simultaneously or consecutively. Simultaneous interpretation (RSI) is typically used for large audiences in settings such as conferences and presentations. In contrast, consecutive interpretation involves the interpreter listening to the speaker, with the speaker pausing to allow the interpreter to convey the message in the target language.

Consecutive interpretation is well-suited for smaller groups; however, the pauses required for interpretation can extend the duration of the interaction. This method is a viable option for breakout sessions where the Language Interpretation feature is unavailable. For multilingual meetings requiring more group interaction, breakout rooms can be set up where an interpreter can join to provide at least consecutive interpretation for a given language combination. At Trusted Translations, we proudly offer both simultaneous and consecutive Zoom interpretation services per hour to meet our clients’ needs accurately and efficiently.

Consecutive and Simultaneous Interpretation in Remote Mode

Once you are familiar with the two types of interpretation services mentioned above, it’s time to explore how an intuitive platform like Zoom can cater to your specific needs. At Trusted Translations, we can schedule the perfect interpreters for your meeting, while Zoom provides the ideal platform to support your remote assignments.

Consecutive interpretation services are available for all Zoom plans, from the free version to Pro, Business, or Enterprise. You can engage an interpreter on Zoom similarly to using a conference bridge for over-the-phone interpreting services, with the added benefit of screen sharing, which allows for interpreting body language throughout the session.

Simultaneous interpretation services are only available through Zoom Webinars. However, simultaneous interpretation cannot be used for breakout sessions within a webinar. In these cases, you can combine simultaneous interpretation for the main session and consecutive interpretation for breakout groups. For multilingual meetings, breakout

sessions can be organized by language combination to optimize communication, with Zoom Business Interpretation Services being utilized effectively.

Professional Interpretation for Zoom Meetings and Webinars

Before scheduling a remote interpreter for your Zoom meeting, ensure that the Language Interpretation feature is enabled on your account. This feature is available to all users on Pro, Business, and Enterprise accounts. If you are unsure or know that the feature is not activated, please contact Zoom Support immediately, as it can take up to 3 business days to configure it.

Once the Language Interpretation feature is enabled, you will be able to assign participants as interpreters in your meetings or webinars.

If your upcoming meeting, conference, webinar, or online training requires multiple languages to effectively communicate with your audience, you must manually configure the meeting or webinar in advance in order to allow multiple language audio channels. Unfortunately, this feature cannot be activated during the meeting.

Language Interpretation can be enabled at the account, group, or user level, so it’s ready by default. It can also be activated for a specific meeting or webinar if not set up by default, which may occur when using an Enterprise account.

When scheduling a meeting, the organizer can assign interpreters for one or more languages using the interpreter’s email address. This ensures that the interpreters can log in directly to their assigned channels at the beginning of the meeting. The interpreters can also be assigned to a channel by the host at any point during the session.

When the meeting or webinar begins, the host will activate the interpretation feature. Interpreters will provide a dedicated audio feed in the target language, and the attendees can select their preferred audio channel and choose to either mute the original speaker or listen to both, the original speaker and the interpreter at a lower volume. We also offer Professional Zoom Translation for written documents and presentations, as well as Zoom Professional Translations Services.
