Interpreting services in Lyon:
In-person and remote interpreters
Orkera offers interpreting services all across France and abroad. We tailor our services to all event formats, thereby ensuring optimal understanding of discussions for all participants.
We organise interpreting for your meetings and events, providing qualified teams of interpreters and setting up the requisite technical solutions tailored to the exact nature of the assignment. We are based in Lyon but can also provide interpreters in Paris and all across France and abroad according to your needs.
Qualified interpreters to properly understand and communicate with your contacts
In situations where accurate terminology is essential, or when each word needs to be chosen with tact, it is important to be able to rely on an interpreter with extensive experience in the relevant field, as well as in the type of interaction for the assignment: international or European works councils, general meetings, conventions, business negotiations, M&A deals, technical training sessions, etc.
We have the skills you need to make sure everything goes smoothly!
As such, in addition to complete mastery of the languages involved, the interpreter must be competent in the required technical field and be able to manage the assignment’s cultural and social aspects. We take into account all of these factors when choosing interpreters for the assignments entrusted to us.
Flawless project management
When organising an event, whether as an events professional or otherwise, it’s essential that all the service providers deliver the scheduled service at the right time and to the right standard. It is important to stick to the schedule but remain flexible in case of last-minute changes.
Orkera’s ISO 9001-certified interpreting service guarantees you seamless project support and management to meet all your needs, so that the interpreting goes smoothly and you can focus on the core event.
If you need to hire one or more interpreters for an event, we recommend contacting us several weeks or even months in advance. Competent professionals are in high demand and have very busy work schedules.
Orkera provides various types of interpreting services:
Simultaneous interpreting:
For simultaneous interpreting assignments, the interpreter is equipped with a microphone and translates the words of a speaker, almost instantaneously, for listeners wearing headphones. The interpreter sometimes works in a soundproof booth. Due to the high level of concentration required for this work, it is often necessary to have two interpreters taking turns at regular intervals. Specialised audio systems for interpreting allow simultaneous interpreting in several languages at the same time.
When discussions involve multiple speakers, the presence of several interpreters is preferable in order to avoid misunderstandings.
Remote simultaneous interpreting:
Technological innovations with video conferencing systems and health restrictions have affected business trips and meetings, leading to the increased use of high-performance remote simultaneous interpreting solutions. We can organise online meetings and conferences with the ability to interpret into 10 languages at the same time. Each of the participants can speak and understand perfectly in their own language. Interpreters work remotely or are grouped together in special interpreting studios to provide a high-quality service, in particular for meetings or conferences that require 3 or 4 languages to be interpreted simultaneously.
Consecutive interpreting:
With consecutive interpreting, the speaker speaks for several minutes at a time and then waits for the interpreter to translate into the target language. This type of interpreting is generally used for conferences, speeches or small events with a limited number of participants, such as factory visits.
Liaison interpreting:
Suitable for negotiations, working lunches or small-group training courses, the interpreter translates the words of two people who don’t speak the same language.
Bespoke technical services
Working with our technical partners, we deliver a turnkey service tailored to your context:
- Translation booths and broadcast and listening systems for meetings involving more than 30 people, conferences, etc.
- Hybrid systems allowing interpreting for both in-person and remote participants.
- Remote simultaneous interpreting in 1 to 10 languages simultaneously, on your own collaborative video conferencing platforms or dedicated multilingual video conference platforms.

Of course, if you organise all the technical services on your own, our work will be limited to organising and setting up the interpreting teams for your event.
