Simultaneous interpretation for online, hybrid and on-site events

Tell us where and how your team and audience are meeting. We'll arrange the interpreters, set up the audio equipment and the language channels, check the venue and run the technical rehearsal, so you can concentrate on the meeting itself.

Why human interpreters when AI can translate speech?

AI and large language models are nothing short of phenomenal. Automatic translation tools can work for quick internal calls and informal conversations, where a margin of error carries no real risk. But their performance depends heavily on flawless audio transcription and steady, well-paced delivery by speakers, and that is not what a real conference sounds like: people speak at different speeds and with different accents, they pause, rephrase themselves and say things with an emotional charge the words alone don't carry. People understand people. A seasoned interpreter reads the room, holds the terminology, keeps what is said in confidence, and is accountable for the result.

Documents and subtitles translated by native linguists

Seasoned professionals working with translation memories and glossaries that keep terminology and formatting consistent and shorten turnaround times without cutting corners. We follow closely what AI can and cannot do, and we talk about it openly with each client, so the technology is used where it genuinely helps.

Why teams choose FILI

Languages and events are all we do

A team of professional linguists and technicians with more than two decades of experience in the language and events industries.

Every detail planned and tested beforehand

We check the venue, audio requirements, channels and roles with you in advance, so problems get solved before the meeting, not during it.

Confidential by default

We sign your NDA, limit who sees your materials and never put client content into publicly available tools.

Judgement about where AI belongs

We choose the tools each project calls for, use them only where they help, and tell you which ones and why.

Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should I book interpreters?

The sooner the better: it gives us time to book the right interpreters, prepare your terminology and complete the necessary dry runs. If it's urgent, message us on WhatsApp all the same and we'll do our best with the time there is.

Can you work on our own video conferencing platform?

Yes. We join your meeting on the platform your team already uses. We walk you through the details so your host can turn on language interpretation, assign interpreters and lead the meeting.

What happens if an interpreter loses their connection?

Interpreters work in pairs, each with backup internet and power. If one drops out, their partner takes over immediately. We also agree on a backup plan with your host during the rehearsal.

How is interpretation priced?

It depends on the languages, the length of the meeting and the format. Our rates reflect the whole job: the preparation before the meeting, the equipment and setup, and the interpretation on the day. When travel is involved, flights, accommodation and daily allowances are listed separately in the same quote.

How is subtitling priced?

We price subtitling by the length of the video and the amount of speech in it: a 20-minute interview with constant dialogue is more work than a 20-minute product video. Send us the link or the file and the languages you need, and we'll quote a fixed price.

Do you work with other languages?

We're a Latin American company working across the Americas, so our main working languages are English, Spanish, Portuguese and French. Other languages are available on request, just tell us what you need.

How do I send my documents?

You can attach up to 5 files, up to 500 MB each. They go straight into FILI's own encrypted storage and are deleted after 30 days if the quote doesn't go ahead. For larger files, we'll send a private link for the transfer.
