Whispered Interpretation
Choose whispered interpretation for your meetings and leverage the power of real-time simultaneous interpretation—with zero booths and total confidentiality. An interpreter sits or stands next to you (ideal for 1 to 2 people) and whispers the translation to you during the conversation. You can then listen and respond instantly, without a single interruption.
At Translinguo Global, we assign native speakers specialised in your sector (business, legal, medical or administrative), tailored to the tone and rhythm of your meeting. Book your interpreters and take advantage of clear, accurate and professional communication from start to finish.

Whispered interpretation for occasional visits and support
Perfect for site visits, inspections, audits, trade shows and live meetings, where immediate comprehension makes all the difference.
Whispered interpretation in legal and institutional contexts
For procedures, meetings with advisors, interviews and processes that require a high level of formality and a thorough understanding of the content.
Whispered interpretation in the healthcare field
For appointments, tests or healthcare procedures, especially for international patients who need to understand everything easily and in real time.

How much does whispered interpretation cost?
The price depends on various factors: language, length of time (with minimums per service), city and travel, specialisation (legal/medical/technical), urgency and the preparation required (documents/glossary).
We will send you a clear and detailed fixed quote. And if we notice that whispered interpretation may not be the best option for your needs (given the size of the meeting or its acoustic conditions), we will suggest an alternative method that better fits your situation.
Whispered Interpretation (FAQs)
In whispered interpretation, the interpreter translates for the listener by whispering to them at the same time as the speaker talks (simultaneous interpretation). In consecutive interpretation, the interpreter and the speaker take turns. The speaker pauses so that the interpreter can translate the message for the listener. If you need real-time agility in a small-group setting, then whispered interpretation is usually the best option.
Whispered interpretation is recommended for 1 or 2 people. In larger groups, this method can become less comfortable, less discrete and more tiring for everyone. In these cases, choose simultaneous interpretation with headphones for greater quality and clarity.
Generally, no. This is one of the advantages of this method. However, if you are in a noisy environment or have a larger group present, we can provide portable equipment to ensure your interpretation is as smooth and as clear as possible.
Yes. Whispered interpretation is incredibly discreet, making it ideal for sensitive matters. Moreover, we work with interpreters bound to confidentiality and professional protocols for protecting sensitive information.
Useful information to provide includes: the purpose of the meeting, the sector, participants, key terms, the agenda, presentations, and any relevant documents. If the session requires specific terminology, a preliminary glossary will significantly improve the accuracy and fluidity of the interpretation.
