Common interpretation FAQs in Nairobi
Planning a multilingual event in Nairobi can raise a lot of questions. These interpretation FAQs answer the ones we hear most often from event organisers, NGOs, businesses and government teams, from how to book interpreters in Nairobi to what equipment your venue needs. If you can’t find your answer below, our team at Auron Nexora Ltd is happy to help.
How far in advance should I book interpreters?
We recommend booking as early as you can, ideally several weeks before your event, especially for rarer language pairs, multi-day conferences, or peak seasons. Last-minute requests may still be possible, so ask us.
How many interpreters will my event need?
For simultaneous interpretation, each language pair usually needs at least two interpreters per booth, so they can take turns. The exact number depends on your programme length and languages.
Can interpretation be done for virtual or hybrid events?
Yes. Interpretation can be delivered through online meeting platforms, and live-streamed events can carry multiple language channels. Tell us your platform and format, and we will advise on setup.
What is the difference between interpretation and translation?
Interpretation deals with spoken or signed language in real time. Translation deals with written text. Many events need both.
Which languages do you cover?
Language availability depends on your event and requirements. Contact us with your language pairs, and we will confirm how we can support you.
Can you provide everything, from interpreters to equipment and technicians?
Yes. We can supply interpreters, interpretation equipment, and technical support as one package, or just the part you need.
How much do interpretation services cost?
The cost depends on the type of interpretation, the language pairs, the length of the event, the number of interpreters, and whether you need equipment. Simultaneous interpretation with booths and headsets is priced differently from consecutive interpretation at a small meeting. Send us your event details, and we’ll prepare a clear, tailored quote.
What information do you need to give me a quote?
Please share the event date and venue, the languages needed, the number of delegates, the programme length, and whether the event is in person, virtual, or hybrid. Your agenda and any technical terms also help us match the right interpreters.
Do you provide interpretation outside Nairobi?
Yes. We support conferences, workshops, and meetings in Nairobi and across Kenya and Africa. Tell us your location when you request a quote so we can plan travel and equipment.
Can you provide sign language interpreters?
Yes. We provide sign language interpretation so Deaf and hard-of-hearing delegates can fully participate. Let us know which sign language your participants use when you book.
Are my documents and discussions kept confidential?
Confidentiality matters for meetings, contracts, and sensitive documents. Tell us about any requirements at the start, and we’ll agree on how we’ll handle information before the work begins.
How do I get started?
Contact us with your date, languages, and audience size. We’ll review your event and send a tailored proposal, covering interpreters, equipment, or translation as needed.
Simultaneous vs consecutive interpretation: what is the difference?
In simultaneous interpretation, interpreters translate in real time from a booth while delegates listen through headsets, so the speaker never has to pause. It suits conferences, summits, and events with a tight schedule or several languages. In consecutive interpretation, the speaker pauses after each short segment and the interpreter delivers the message in the other language. It suits meetings, interviews, and small group discussions, and it needs no equipment. Not sure which one fits? Tell us about your event, and we’ll recommend the best option.
Do I need interpretation equipment for my event?
You need equipment if you choose simultaneous interpretation. That usually means interpreter booths, consoles, transmitters, and receivers with headsets for every delegate who needs the interpretation. Consecutive interpretation doesn’t need any of this. We can supply the equipment and a technician to set it up and monitor it, so your event runs smoothly from the first session to the last.
