Here are some important factors to take into account:

Weighing up the pros and the cons of using a bidule If the meeting is being held in one room only, it is highly recommended that the speaker use a microphone with a PA system, with headphones for the interpreter. The interpreters need to be as close to the speaker as possible throughout the event, especially when on the move, to make sure they can hear well and are able to interpret what is being said. The delegate can then receive the interpretation via the headphones. The interpreters listen to the speaker directly, usually without headphones, and interpret into a microphone. T he interpreters are equipped with a radio transmitter/microphone, and each delegate requiring interpretation is given wireless headphones.
#Bidule portable
How does a portable system, or ‘Infoport’ / ‘bidule’ work ?Ī bidule allows for simultaneous interpretation without the use of an interpretation booth. Read below to find out whether a bidule will meet your needs. If any of the above apply to you, it may make sense to use a portable system, often referred to in the interpreting field as an ‘Infoport’ or ‘bidule’, though bear in mind that it is always preferable to provide your interpreters with a fully soundproof booth where possible. Organizing guided visits which require the speakers, interpreters and delegates to move from one place to another? Need interpretation for just a small number of delegates, too few to warrant a more sophisticated interpretation set-up? Arranging bilingual meetings in small meeting venues where an interpretation booth for simultaneous interpretation simply won’t fit?
