Interpreter booths
12.4 Interpreter booths
Pressure and speed of work at most international conferences means that interpreters have to take
turn and turn about to keep pace and ensure a steady flow of smooth interpretation. This means that
each interpreter booth has to be large enough to accommodate at least two or maybe three
interpreters. The specification for interpreter booths as laid down by the international organization for
standardization is briefly as follows:

Booths should be constructed at the back or the side of the hall.

•
A window should be installed across the whole length of the booth.
•
The inner pane should be inclined with its upper edge towards the hall to avoid acoustic reflec-
tions and mirror effects. There should also be a side window so that interpreters can communi-
cate with one another visually. All glass used should satisfy sound insulation requirements.

The dimensions of the booth, where possible should have a minimum size of 2.5 m (8.2 ft.) wide,
2.3 m (7.5 ft.) high and 2.4 m (7.8 ft.) deep for up to 6 languages, and 3.4 m (11.15 ft.) wide for
6 to 12 languages.
