Simultaneous translation — what it is and how it works
Simultaneous translation is the popular name for simultaneous interpretation — the service in which the interpreter converts a speaker's words in real time, while the speaker is still talking, without pauses. Anyone looking for a "simultaneous translator" in São Paulo is looking for exactly this service.
The process works like this: the speaker talks normally. The interpreter, isolated in an ISO booth with acoustic isolation, listens to the audio and interprets in real time into the target language. Participants receive the interpreted audio through individual receivers with headphones — all simultaneously, without interrupting the event.
lingo offers simultaneous translation in two formats: with human interpreters and with lingo AI — both using the same professional ISO equipment.
The two terms describe the same service. Simultaneous translation is the most searched popular name. Simultaneous interpretation is the correct technical term used by human interpreters and by ABNT.
lingo serves both names — what matters is the quality of delivery on the day of your event.
- ✓ Congresses with international speakers
- ✓ M&A and due diligence meetings
- ✓ Corporate training with foreign facilitators
- ✓ Hybrid events via Zoom or Teams
- ✓ Technical audits with European or Asian teams

Where to hire simultaneous translation in São Paulo: the main event venues
Events that call for simultaneous translation in São Paulo are concentrated in a few well-known venues, and each one has its own characteristics of acoustics, space for the booth and access for setting up the equipment. lingo maintains pages with information about the WTC São Paulo, the Transamerica Expo Center, the Expo Center Norte, the Frei Caneca Convention Center and the Grand Hyatt São Paulo. In all of them, the installation starts 60 to 90 minutes before the event, with a technical operator on site.
Simultaneous translation or live captioning?
Those looking for simultaneous translation often want the audience to understand the speaker in real time, and there are two ways to achieve this. In simultaneous translation, the participant hears the interpreter's voice through headphones. In live captioning, they read the text on the screen. The first works best when the audience needs to look at the speaker, the slides or a demonstration, and the second helps in noisy rooms or for those who prefer to read. The page on simultaneous captioning explains when text on screen is the best choice.
What to provide to receive the quote
The automatic quote asks for the languages, the duration and the number of participants, and becomes more precise when you also provide the venue or platform of the event and the type of meeting. If there are presentations, contracts or internal glossaries, send this material 48 hours in advance, so the interpreter can prepare the sector's terms. The page on how to prepare an event with simultaneous interpretation has the complete list of what to arrange in advance.
Human interpreter or lingo AI: how to decide
The human interpreter is the choice when quality, nuance and presence are non-negotiable, as in M&A, legal matters, high-risk medical congresses and high-prestige events. The lingo AI is the choice when cost, scale and rare languages decide: credits do not expire, activation takes 24 hours and the technical vocabulary was trained with real interpretations. Both formats use the same professional equipment, and the page on remote AI interpretation details what the AI delivers.
Events outside São Paulo
For events in other states, remote interpretation is delivered through a digital platform at no travel cost, and the interpreters operate from São Paulo. When the event needs equipment on site, transport and installation appear itemized in the quote. The page on remote simultaneous interpretation explains the format, and the one on how much simultaneous interpretation costs in SP details the price factors.
Confidentiality and invoice
lingo signs an NDA, valid for 5 years, before receiving any document, and Alex Barros does not accept competing mandates on the same deal. The quote amount is the final invoice amount, and Lingo Qi Interpretações LTDA issues the electronic invoice for all events. For the full overview of the service, see the page on simultaneous interpretation in São Paulo.
How to prepare for the event
The sooner the client sends the agenda, the presentations and the list of participants, the better the preparation of the glossary and the team. For events with several languages or several rooms, say so in the quote request, so that the proposal includes the right team and equipment from the start, with no last-minute adjustments.
