Establish the spoken variety
Ask participants how they intend to speak rather than inferring from nationality, a document or an organisation's location. If a guest presents in English but answers later in Persian, describe those as separate blocks. State who will use Spanish and whether Spanish questions need to be conveyed back to the speaker. The return direction is part of the assignment, not an incidental addition to a prepared talk.
Where teams will break into smaller meetings, give their times and speakers. One interpreter cannot cover separate conversations happening simultaneously. Our language interpreters overview points to languages, while the relevant combination and spoken variety are verified for each request. If the guests' preference is still unknown, ask them and mark it as an open point in the brief.
Make time for both voices
A formal presentation with planned pauses may suit consecutive interpreting. Include time for the original speech, interpreted sections and audience questions. A smaller two-way discussion or moving visit may call for liaison interpreting. The pace, speakers and location determine the practical choice.

For a site visit, describe the route, background noise and access restrictions. The interpreter needs to hear the guide and relay visitors' questions. Provide images, models or figures likely to be discussed. A conversation about an agreement also benefits from speaker roles and terminology, while the interpreter remains a language professional rather than a representative deciding terms for either party.
If visitors will split into two groups, explain when that happens and which discussions need support. A professional following one route cannot also attend a parallel conversation elsewhere. Distinguishing these moments early avoids an unrealistic itinerary and helps establish the appropriate number of people for the assignment.
Plan audience listening
Simultaneous interpreting may be considered for continuous talks at conferences and events, subject to a suitable team and channels. Send a room-by-room programme with speakers, variety and audience listening languages. A Persian talk followed by Spanish questions calls for both directions. Parallel activities require separate assessment.
LinguaVox can assess and coordinate booths, receivers and sound arrangements with specialist suppliers according to venue, format and availability. Equipment is arranged for the particular event. Check what the venue provides and who tests audience microphones. A question missing from the interpreter's audio feed also leaves listeners on the interpreted channel unable to follow the response.

Brief the actual subject
Share an agenda, participant names and roles, slides, terminology and background papers. “Commercial meeting” gives little indication of the products, figures or issues likely to arise. Our quality approach describes selection and preparation for the real subject and working conditions. Flag videos with speech so their image and sound can reach the team.
Identify confidential information before sharing it so access can be agreed. Interpreting a conversation differs from translating an official document or contract. If delegates need written material in another language, describe its scope and deadline separately. Attendance does not certify or produce a written version. Communicate changes to speakers or the programme as they become known.
Video participation and enquiry
Remote interpreting can be assessed with platform access, clear audio, channels and a test. List time zones, the chair and the way in-room questions will be heard. Shared videos must carry sound to the interpreter. Agree how to pause if a connection fails during a significant exchange.
For a proposal, provide the date, length, venue or platform, participants, intended spoken variety, Persian-Spanish directions, subject and agenda. Place English or another language in its own part of the programme. Use the quote form to mark uncertainties so professional availability and scope can be assessed against the participants' actual needs.
Frequently asked questions
Is “Persian” enough to request an interpreter?
It is a starting point. Ask participants which spoken variety they will use, and provide directions, date and subject. Availability is checked for the specific requirement.
Can the interpreter review official documents?
Interpreting covers live speech. Written translation, including any official requirements, is a separate task based on the document, destination and delivery conditions. It is not included by attending a meeting.
Which method suits a visit with questions?
Liaison may suit shorter two-way exchanges. A presentation with planned pauses may use consecutive. Provide route, noise and participants so the format can be assessed.
How should a talk with Spanish questions be planned?
Include Persian-to-Spanish for the talk and Spanish-to-Persian for questions if speakers need to hear them. Plan microphones and turns. Confirm the spoken variety too.
Can a video meeting be interpreted?
It can be assessed with suitable platform, audio, channels, a test and orderly speaking turns. Include time zones and any in-room participants. Availability depends on date, direction and duration.
