Simultaneous Translation

During the conduct of focus groups, proceedings are audio or video-taped for later analysis and coding. However the proceedings are usually also viewed through a one way mirror where researchers can view the proceedings "live".

In the case of the focus group being delivered in a foreign language, a bilingual translator can be provided to translate the proceedings verbally and live to those who speak a different language. In the case of a client who may wish to make small changes to the moderator's script or provide helpful feedback on how the next part of subsequent part of the focus group could be conducted simultaneous translation is often of high value.
