Brussels, the beating heart of European institutions and home to hundreds of international companies, has embraced video conferencing interpretation as the standard for multilingual remote meetings. TranslateBE delivers professional interpretation services via Zoom, Teams and WebEx for businesses, lobby organisations and public authorities across the Brussels region.
What is remote interpretation?
Remote interpretation — also known as RSI (Remote Simultaneous Interpretation) or video interpreting — allows you to engage professional interpreters via video conferencing platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, WebEx or Google Meet, without requiring the interpreter to be physically present. The interpreter works from a home studio or interpretation centre and delivers simultaneous interpretation in real time via a secure audio channel. This is ideal for international meetings, online medical consultations and video hearings where multiple languages are needed but physical presence is not possible or desirable.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What audio quality can I expect from video interpreting in Brussels?
With professional remote interpretation, the interpreter uses a high-quality microphone and a stable internet connection (min. 10 Mbps). Audio quality is comparable to an on-site interpretation booth. We recommend all participants use a headset to minimise echo and background noise.
Which languages are available for video interpreting in Brussels?
TranslateBE has interpreters in over 40 languages, including all 24 official EU languages, Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese and Korean. For Brussels, French, Dutch, German and English are available at very short notice; for less common languages, allow 48 to 72 hours.
What is the difference between remote and on-site interpretation?
The main difference is logistics and cost. On-site interpretation requires a booth, technical equipment and travel expenses for the interpreters. With RSI, interpreters work from a studio: no travel costs, no booth rental and a much shorter lead time — sometimes less than 24 hours for urgent assignments.
How far in advance do I need to book a video interpreter in Brussels?
For a standard assignment (1–2 languages, half day), booking 2 to 3 working days ahead is sufficient. For multilingual conferences or events with multiple interpreter teams, we recommend 1 to 2 weeks. For urgent cases, we offer an express service with availability within 24 hours, subject to a surcharge.
