What I do: conference interpreter (simultaneous mode) at a design event focusing on green cities and sustainability. Speakers from various European Countries. (English <> Italian)
Simultaneous interpreting with bidule equipment (a sort of portable booth) is very frequent mainly in those locations that are not equipped with soundproof booths, or during meetings and events counting a small number of people who need the translation.
During this event the translation was carried out also through Skype: one of the speakers was in Rome and could not be present in person. This kind of digital tool can create issues for interpreters, due to the lack of clarity of the incoming sound.
