The central idea is simple: even in a city where English is widely spoken, interpretation remains necessary whenever accuracy, inclusion or legal and medical precision are at stake. The service is used by international organisations, life sciences companies, hospitals and public services, energy and shipping firms, universities and event organisers. It makes most sense for recurring multilingual meetings, for sessions involving specialised or sensitive content and for events where participants from outside the Nordic region need to follow and contribute on equal terms. Organisers in Copenhagen sometimes assume that English alone is enough. In practice, this can exclude participants, slow down technical discussions and create misunderstandings in high-stakes conversations. This guide explains when interpretation adds value, how video remote interpreting and remote simultaneous interpreting work, which local factors to consider and how to plan the service step by step. ## **Summary** - Why interpretation is still needed in an English-speaking business environment. - How video remote interpreting and remote simultaneous interpreting differ. - Five steps to plan interpretation for a meeting or event in Copenhagen. - How [AP | PORTUGAL](https://go.apportugal.com/en/) supports organisations in the Danish capital.   ## **Why Interpretation Still Matters in an English-Speaking City** Denmark has one of the highest levels of English proficiency in Europe, and many corporate meetings in Copenhagen are held entirely in English. Yet proficiency is not the same as comfort or precision. A Danish physician discussing a clinical protocol, a municipal employee explaining a public service or an engineer negotiating a technical specification will often express themselves more accurately in their own language, and participants from Southern Europe, Latin America, Asia or the Middle East may follow complex content better in theirs. Interpretation also has an inclusion dimension. When an event is open to citizens, patients, employees across several countries or stakeholders with different educational backgrounds, offering languages beyond English widens participation. This is why online interpreting services remain in steady demand in Copenhagen, even among organisations that work in English day to day.   ## **How Video Remote Interpreting and Remote Simultaneous Interpreting Work** With video remote interpreting, a qualified interpreter joins a video call or a room equipped with a screen and audio system. The interpreter works in consecutive mode for dialogues and short exchanges, or in simultaneous mode when the conversation needs to flow continuously. It is well suited to consultations, interviews, workshops and management meetings. [Remote simultaneous interpreting](https://go.apportugal.com/pages/en/rsi-en/) is used when an audience follows presentations in several languages at once. Interpreters work from a professional hub, receive the speaker's audio through a dedicated feed and deliver interpretation on language channels that participants select on a platform, an app or a receiver. Platforms such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams support this through built-in interpretation features, which makes zoom interpretation services a practical option for webinars and online town halls.   ## **The Copenhagen Context** ### **UN City and International Organisations** Copenhagen's UN City hosts several United Nations organisations, including the WHO Regional Office for Europe and UNICEF's Supply Division. Meetings connected to these organisations frequently involve partners from many countries and require interpretation into languages such as French, Spanish, Russian and Arabic, alongside English. ### **Life Sciences Across the Øresund** The Greater Copenhagen region, together with southern Sweden, forms one of Europe's leading life sciences clusters. Pharmaceutical companies, biotech firms and university hospitals organise advisory boards, investigator meetings and scientific symposia where precise medical terminology is essential and where the audience often extends well beyond the Nordic countries. ### **Sustainability Expectations** Copenhagen has positioned itself as a leader in climate policy and green urban development, and event organisers in the city are often expected to reduce travel and the environmental impact of their programmes. Remote interpreting supports this directly by removing the need to fly interpreting teams in for each event. ### **Season and Scheduling** Congress activity is strongest in spring, early summer and autumn, while the darker winter months see more indoor corporate events and online sessions. The summer holiday period, particularly July, is quieter for business meetings, which affects both scheduling and the availability of participants.   ## **Five Steps to Plan Interpretation in Copenhagen** These steps are designed for organisers who need to decide quickly but want to avoid the common gaps in multilingual planning. They move from defining the need to confirming the technical set-up, so that each decision builds on the previous one. 1. **Decide who needs interpretation and why.** Identify the participants who would benefit from their own language, whether for precision, inclusion or comfort, and which sessions they will attend. 2. **Select the format for each session.** Use video remote interpreting for dialogues and small groups, and remote simultaneous interpreting for presentations to larger audiences. 3. **Confirm the platform and room set-up.** Check that the meeting platform supports interpretation channels, and that rooms have suitable microphones and a stable connection. 4. **Prepare the content.** Once the provider is confirmed, share agendas, presentations, speaker lists and key terminology so interpreters can prepare properly. 5. **Test and assign live support.** Hold a short technical test with interpreters and speakers, and confirm who will monitor audio and channels during the session. Following these five steps turns interpretation from an add-on into a planned part of the event. It also gives providers the information they need to propose the right number of interpreters, the appropriate platform configuration and the level of technical support required.   ## **Two Examples From the Copenhagen Market** In a first hypothetical case, a pharmaceutical company in the Copenhagen area holds an advisory board with 12 clinicians from six countries. Most participants are comfortable in English, but three specialists prefer to present their clinical observations in Spanish, Italian and German. Video remote interpreting allows each of them to speak in their own language while the discussion continues in English, improving the quality of the clinical input the company receives. In a second case, a public health conference held in the city centre welcomes 300 participants, with sessions in English and Danish and a group of delegates from Francophone and Arabic-speaking countries. Remote simultaneous interpreting provides four channels, two interpreters work on each language and online participants select their channel on the event platform. The organiser avoids building booths in a historic hall and keeps travel to a minimum, in line with the event's sustainability goals.   ## **Conference Centres and Event Venues in Copenhagen** Copenhagen offers a large convention centre near the airport, several congress hotels in the city centre and cultural venues that host high-profile events. Most are well connected by metro and rail, which makes it easy to combine venues within the same programme. AP | PORTUGAL has extensive experience supporting multilingual events in venues of this type and in many others internationally, delivering video remote interpreting, remote simultaneous interpreting, audiovisual equipment rental, event management and accessibility solutions. Venues often used for congresses and corporate events include: - [Bella Center Copenhagen](https://www.bellacenter.dk/) - [Tivoli Hotel & Congress Center](https://www.tivoli.dk/en/moeder-og-selskaber/tivolis-lokaler-og-restauranter/tivoli-congress-center) - [Forum Copenhagen](https://www.forumcopenhagen.dk/) - [DR Koncerthuset](https://www.drkoncerthuset.dk/) Bella Center Copenhagen hosts the largest congresses and exhibitions, while the Tivoli Congress Center and city-centre hotels are frequent choices for association and corporate meetings. DR Koncerthuset and Forum Copenhagen are often used for keynote events and larger gatherings with a cultural or public dimension. There is no official ranking of video remote interpreting services in Copenhagen, as no independent body evaluates providers for this purpose, and any published list reflects its author's own choices. What organisers can do is examine the indicators a strong provider should demonstrate, such as experience with similar events, qualified interpreters for each language combination, a clear audio set-up and live technical support.   ## **Mistakes to Avoid** A frequent mistake is assuming that bilingual participants can act as informal interpreters. This places an unfair burden on colleagues, interrupts their own participation and rarely achieves the accuracy needed for technical or medical content. Another is relying on laptop microphones in meeting rooms, which produces distant, echoing audio that interpreters struggle to follow. Organisers should also be cautious about using automated tools as a substitute for interpretation. Real time translation services powered by AI can help with captions and accessibility, but they cannot yet manage nuance, ambiguity or specialised terminology with the reliability that professional interpreters provide.   ## **ISO 23155 Certification and ESG Commitments** AP | PORTUGAL is certified under ISO 23155, the international standard for conference interpreting services, which covers the organisation and delivery of interpreting assignments. The company also works according to ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) principles, a commitment that distinguishes how its projects are managed. ### **Environmental** Delivering interpretation remotely avoids flights and hotel stays for interpreters, which aligns with the sustainability expectations that many Copenhagen organisers set for their events. ### **Social** Interpretation and accessibility solutions make meetings and events more inclusive, allowing participants to contribute in the language in which they express themselves best. ### **Governance** Confidentiality agreements, transparent proposals and documented procedures give clients clarity on how the service is delivered and how information is protected.   ## **How AP | PORTUGAL Supports Organisations in Copenhagen** Video remote interpreting is delivered online, which means organisations in Copenhagen can work with a specialised video remote interpreting company wherever it is based. AP | PORTUGAL has around 30 years of experience and thousands of projects in multilingual communication, managing interpreter selection, platform configuration and live support for corporate, institutional and scientific clients.

Review the participants, the subject matter and the outcomes expected from the meeting or event, and decide where interpretation would improve accuracy or participation. In many cases, offering one or two additional languages for specific sessions is sufficient. Next, align the interpreting plan with the sustainability goals of the event. Remote interpretation reduces travel, and combining it with hybrid participation can extend the event's reach without increasing its footprint. Finally, build continuity for recurring meetings. Working with the same interpreters over time, supported by a shared glossary, gives participants confidence and makes each session more efficient than the last.   ## **Frequently Asked Questions** ### **Do I need interpretation if all participants speak English?** Not always. However, for technical, medical, legal or public-facing content, interpretation often improves accuracy and allows participants to contribute more fully in their own language. ### **Can interpreters work into Danish and other Nordic languages?** Yes. Interpreters can be arranged for Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish, as well as for the main international languages. ### **Is video remote interpreting suitable for healthcare settings?** Yes. It is widely used for consultations and clinical meetings, provided the platform is secure and interpreters have experience with medical terminology. ### **How does remote interpreting support sustainable events?** It removes the need for interpreters to travel to the event, reducing emissions, accommodation and equipment transport. ### **Which platforms can be used for video interpreting services?** Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Webex are the most common, along with dedicated platforms designed for remote simultaneous interpreting. ### **How is video remote interpreting priced?** The cost depends on the language combinations, the duration and frequency of sessions, the interpreting mode and the technical support required. ### **Can interpretation be combined with live captions?** Yes. Captions can complement interpretation, particularly for accessibility, and both can be delivered through the same platform in many cases.   ## **Conclusion** Copenhagen's international organisations, life sciences cluster and sustainability-driven event culture create a clear role for professional interpretation, even in a city where English is widely spoken. Video remote interpreting and remote simultaneous interpreting allow organisers to improve accuracy and inclusion while keeping travel to a minimum.
