Trusted by UAE institutions, courts, and global brands
Interpretation is the real-time conversion of spoken language between two parties. Sim Trans provides interpretation solutions in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and across the UAE’s government bodies, private sector boardrooms, exhibitions, hotels, entertainment stages, and technology launches, keeping multilingual rooms moving at the speed of a single conversation.What sets one interpretation company apart from another in this market is rarely the language list. Most agencies can source a French or Mandarin speaker.
The real differences sit in the depth of interpreting services on offer, the speed of response when a court date moves, the readiness of conference equipment when the venue calls, and whether the interpretation provider can hold a confidential brief alongside the linguistic work. Sim Trans was built as an interpretation agency that handles all four as a single workflow.
Over 20 years delivering interpretation that works
Sim Trans has built a roster of 500+ interpreters trained for the moments where accuracy carries weight. Closed-door meetings, public stages, technical sessions, and live broadcasts. Every assignment is matched to an interpreter with the right subject knowledge, dialect register, and delivery style, across 750+ language pairs.
Sim Trans covers every mode of professional interpreter delivery, from real-time conference work to phone interpreter services available on demand. Each format is built for a specific kind of room, audience, and timeline. Pick the one that matches your event or speak to a coordinator for a recommendation.
On-demand telephone interpretation services for urgent calls, customer support lines, and remote consultations. Connect with an interpreter in minutes, available around the clock across 100+ languages.
Live interpreters on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and other video platforms. Video remote interpretation services (VRI) suit hybrid meetings, virtual hearings, and cross-border consultations without travel.
Real-time spoken translation for conferences, summits, and large multilingual audiences. Simultaneous interpretation services include booth-based delivery, fully briefed interpreter pairs, and synchronised audio routing.
An interpreter in the room, speaking after each segment of dialogue. Suited to negotiations, interviews, depositions, and small-group meetings where pauses between speakers are workable.
Also known as chuchotage. The interpreter sits beside one or two listeners and quietly conveys the conversation without disturbing the wider room. Ideal for site visits, factory tours, and observer roles.
Qualified sign language interpreter services for press conferences, educational sessions, public events, and one-to-one appointments. Available on-site and via video for remote access.
Soundproof booths, wireless receivers, headsets, transmitters, and on-site technicians. Available as a standalone rental or bundled with interpreters for full event delivery. Equipment scaled from small boardroom setups to 1,000+ delegate conferences.
No interpreter? No meeting.
Sim Trans deploys MoJ-recognised interpreters across the UAE in under 24 hours. Court, hospital, conference, corporate.
Our legal interpreters are recognised by the UAE Ministry of Justice for use in courts, police stations, public prosecution, and notary offices. The same accreditation makes our interpretation admissible in formal proceedings where unqualified work would be rejected.
Arabic and English are handled in-house every working day. Beyond that, our network covers 750+ language pairs including Mandarin, Russian, Hindi, Urdu, French, German, Spanish, Tagalog, and the South Asian and Central Asian languages most needed across UAE business and government work.
An interpreter on-site or online the same day for urgent court hearings, hospital admissions, and last-minute meetings. For planned events, we lock in interpreters and equipment as soon as the brief is confirmed, with full technical setup ready before the first speaker takes the floor.
Each interpreter on our roster is selected for subject expertise, not just language fluency. Legal, medical, technical, financial, and broadcast specialists are matched to the brief, so the interpreter walks in already familiar with the terminology your room will use.
One point of contact handles your interpreter brief, language pair selection, equipment specification, and on-the-day coordination. No bouncing between sales, operations, and tech support. Everything routes through the same coordinator from quote to event close.
Booking an interpreter is rarely just about the language. It’s about the brief being understood before anyone walks into the room, the equipment working the moment the first speaker starts, and the right voice being at the table when the conversation turns technical. Sim Trans delivers all three as one workflow. A single coordinator manages the assignment from initial quote to the moment your event closes, so nothing about the language side of your meeting becomes your problem.

That trust shows up where the stakes are highest. Government delegations, ministerial briefings, diplomatic summits, broadcast interviews. SimTrans interpreters have stood beside ministers, senior officials, and heads of delegation, carrying their message across languages without losing its weight. Hear it directly from one of them.
Frequently asked questions about language interpreter services
An interpretation service is the live, spoken conversion of language between two or more parties in real time. Unlike translation, which converts written text, interpretation is delivered orally, in person, by phone, or by video, across meetings, court hearings, conferences, hospital consultations, and any setting where two languages share a single conversation.
Interpreting services place a qualified linguist between speakers of different languages so each party hears the conversation in their own language. The interpreter listens, processes meaning, and reproduces it accurately, including industry terminology, cultural nuances, and tone. Sim Trans provides interpretation across legal settings, conferences, government meetings, and medical interpreter services for hospitals and clinics.
The four main types of interpretation are simultaneous, consecutive, whispered (chuchotage), and remote. Simultaneous interpretation is delivered in real time during conferences. Consecutive interpretation happens in segments after each speaker. Whispered interpretation is quietly spoken to one or two listeners. Remote interpretation runs by phone or video across distance.
Share your interpretation brief with a Sim Trans coordinator: date, location, language pair, subject matter, and number of participants. The coordinator selects an interpreter matched to your setting, books any equipment needed, and confirms the assignment. On the event day, the interpreter arrives pre-briefed and ready to work.
Interpreter services protect accuracy in conversations where misunderstanding carries consequences. A misread legal term can invalidate testimony. A poorly conveyed medical instruction can affect a treatment decision. In business, an unbriefed interpreter can derail a contract negotiation. Professional interpreters keep the meaning of the original message intact under live conditions.
A common example: a Dubai courtroom where one party speaks only Mandarin and the proceedings are conducted in Arabic. A qualified court interpreter listens to each statement and renders it accurately into the other language, so the judge, counsel, and parties all follow the same conversation in real time.
Simultaneous interpretation happens in real time while the speaker is talking, usually through a soundproof booth and headsets. Consecutive interpretation happens after the speaker finishes a segment, with the interpreter speaking in the pause. Simultaneous suits large conferences. Consecutive suits negotiations, interviews, depositions, and small meetings.
Interpretation pricing depends on the language pair, the mode (simultaneous, consecutive, phone, or video), the duration, and whether equipment is required. Simultaneous interpretation at a conference typically requires two interpreters and booth equipment, while phone interpretation is billed per minute. Sim Trans provides a fixed quote after reviewing the brief.
Yes. Sim Trans offers same-day deployment for urgent interpretation across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, including court hearings, hospital admissions, and last-minute business meetings. For planned events, we recommend booking interpreters and equipment one to two weeks in advance to lock in the right subject specialist.
A reliable interpretation agency in the UAE combines Ministry of Justice-recognised interpreters for legal work, a broad linguist roster covering 750+ language pairs, in-house equipment for conference settings, and a single coordinator handling each assignment. Sim Trans is an interpretation company operating across Dubai and Abu Dhabi with all four capabilities in-house.
Sim Trans operates offices in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with interpreters available across the UAE for on-site assignments and remotely for online sessions. Share your location, language pair, and date with a coordinator on WhatsApp or by phone, and we’ll confirm an interpreter near you the same day where possible.
A freelance interpreter handles the language work, but you’ll separately need to source equipment, brief the interpreter on terminology, manage backup cover if they cancel, and verify their credentials. A Sim Trans interpretation agency assignment covers all of that as one package, with a coordinator managing logistics and a backup interpreter on call for critical assignments.
