Lyon, the economic capital of eastern France and a centre of the pharmaceutical and biotech industry, has a growing demand for remote interpretation services for its international partners. TranslateBE provides professional interpretation via Zoom, Teams and WebEx for the Lyon pharmaceutical sector, gastronomy and international trade.
What is remote interpretation?
Remote interpretation 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 studio and delivers simultaneous interpretation in real time. For Lyon, with its international clusters in biotech (Biopôle), chemicals (Carré de Soie) and digital technology (Lyon French Tech), RSI provides a flexible solution for multilingual innovation meetings.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is RSI suitable for clinical and medical meetings in Lyon?
Yes. Our interpreters for medical and pharmaceutical meetings have specialised terminology in clinical research, oncology, cardiology and pharmacology — domains in which Lyon holds a European leadership position. The interpreter is briefed in advance with the meeting programme and relevant documents.
Which languages are available for video interpreting in Lyon?
For Lyon, French, English, German, Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese and Spanish are available at short notice — the languages most commonly found in the international networks of Lyon's pharma and chemicals companies. TranslateBE has interpreters in over 40 languages.
How does RSI differ from an on-site interpreter for a Lyon business meeting?
RSI eliminates all travel costs and logistical constraints. For hybrid meetings where some participants are on location in Lyon and others are online, RSI is the only solution that guarantees simultaneous interpretation for all participants, regardless of their location.
How far in advance should I book a video interpreter for a meeting in Lyon?
For a standard meeting (1–2 languages), 2 to 3 working days is sufficient. For large pharmaceutical conferences or medical congresses, we recommend 1 to 2 weeks. For urgent cases, an express service is available within 24 hours.
