Trusted by UAE institutions, courts, and global brands
Our video remote interpreting company places a qualified interpreter into your video call in real time, with no travel and no on-site setup. Sim Trans delivers VRI across the UAE for UAE Courts hearings, DIFC and ADGM arbitration, telemedicine consultations at DHA, MOHAP, and DoH-licensed facilities, board meetings, KYC interviews, and government appointments. The interpreter joins on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, or whichever video conference interpreting platform your meeting runs on, within minutes for on-demand sessions or at the scheduled time for booked appointments. The video channel preserves what audio-only interpreting strips out: facial expression, gesture, signed language, and the body cues that often carry as much meaning as the words
Sim Trans has been delivering interpretation across United Arab Emirates since before video conference interpreting and virtual meetings became standard practice. Our roster covers 500+ vetted professional interpreters trained for moments where the camera is on and the conversation carries weight:
court hearings streamed into UAE Courts chambers, telemedicine consultations with non-Arabic-speaking patients, arbitration sessions at DIFC and ADGM, and investor calls where one phrase decides the deal. Every assignment is matched to an interpreter with the right subject knowledge, dialect register, and platform fluency, across 750+ language pairs
Sim Trans is a video remote interpretation company built around how UAE meetings actually run, with multilingual rooms, tight schedules, and regulated proceedings. Our VRI platforms cover Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, BlueJeans, GoToMeeting, and any other system your team uses.

Hearing in an hour. Interpreter already online
Sim Trans connects MoJ-sworn VRI interpreters to UAE Courts, hospitals, and boardrooms within minutes. No travel, no setup, no missed proceedings
Our legal VRI interpreters are recognised by the UAE Ministry of Justice for use in court proceedings, arbitration, public prosecution interviews, and notarised sessions. The accreditation makes our interpretation admissible at Dubai Courts, Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, DIFC Courts, and ADGM Courts, where work from unverified VRI interpreting companies would be rejected
Sim Trans holds ISO 17100 for translation services, ISO 18841 for interpreting services, and ISO 27001 for information security. The third matters for high quality VRI specifically. Your hearing, KYC interview, or medical consultation runs on a documented information security framework, not a generic video call
A VRI interpreter joins your call within minutes for unscheduled sessions, 24/7. For planned bookings, we lock in the interpreter, language pair, and platform as soon as the brief is confirmed, with a backup interpreter on standby for critical proceedings. This is how a VRI services provider should work
Arabic and English are handled every working day. Beyond that, our remote interpreting services roster covers Mandarin, Russian, Tagalog, Hindi, Urdu, Farsi, French, Spanish, Amharic, Tigrinya, German, and 700+ other pairs, including ESL, Arabic Sign Language, ASL, BSL, and International Sign for users who are deaf or hard of hearing
Every Sim Trans interpreter signs an NDA before joining your roster, and we operate under ISO 27001-aligned information security protocols. Sessions involving legal, medical, KYC, or HR matters are treated as confidential by default. No recording, no transcription, no third-party access
Booking a remote interpreter is rarely just about the language pair. It’s about the right qualified interpreter joining on the right platform, at the right time, briefed on the subject before the meeting opens. A video remote interpreting agency that can handle confidentiality, account management, platform fluency, and backup interpreters, without bouncing you between three teams, saves friction that derails high-stakes sessions. Sim Trans handles the lot through one coordinator from quote to session close

Frequently asked questions about language interpreter services
Video remote interpreting (VRI) is a service that places a qualified interpreter into a video call between parties who speak different languages or use sign language. The interpreter joins remotely through platforms like Zoom or Microsoft Teams and interprets in real time, either simultaneously or consecutively, with no in-person attendance required
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.
Yes. Sim Trans handles hybrid sessions where some participants are in the room and others join remotely. The interpreter works either on-site with conference equipment routing audio to the remote feed, or from a hub with audio routed back into the venue. Common for DIFC and ADGM arbitration, hybrid AGMs, and government summits across the UAE
VRI works by connecting a qualified interpreter to your existing video call. You share the date, language pair, and platform with Sim Trans, and an interpreter joins on Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Webex, or your preferred platform, interpreting in real time. Sessions are available on-demand or pre-scheduled, and billed by duration
The four main types are simultaneous, consecutive, whispered (chuchotage), and sight translation. All four can be delivered via VRI when participants are remote: simultaneous for conferences, consecutive in segments, whispered to one listener, and sight translation as spoken rendering of a written document
Professional interpreters work to four core principles: accuracy (faithful rendering of meaning), impartiality (no bias or commentary), confidentiality (protecting session content), and competence (only accepting work within their language and subject expertise). The same rules apply to face-to-face and video remote interpreting sessions
Video remote interpreting services cost varies by language pair, session duration, mode (simultaneous or consecutive), and whether the booking is on-demand or pre-scheduled. Rare languages and out-of-hours sessions carry different rates. Sim Trans provides a fixed quote after reviewing the brief, with no charges added after the session
Yes. Our virtual remote interpreting service connects on demand within minutes for urgent court hearings, hospital admissions, and last-minute corporate calls, 24 hours a day. For scheduled bookings, advance notice helps lock in subject specialists, but same-day urgent requests are part of our standard service
Sim Trans interpreters join on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, BlueJeans, GoToMeeting, and any other video conferencing platform used by UAE clients. We are platform-agnostic: you choose where the meeting runs, and the interpreter joins as a participant. No proprietary software and no client-side installation required
A reliable video remote interpretation company combines MoJ-sworn interpreters for legal work, ISO 17100, 18841, and 27001 certifications, vetted domain specialists across medical and finance, platform flexibility, and one coordinator per assignment.
