An individual interpreting station
A dedicated room for one interpreter, with the desk, screens and controls arranged around their workflow. Develop a consistent setup within a shared office or language-service centre.
Remote interpreting pods · France
Interpreter booths tailored to your workspace.
Give remote interpreters a dedicated place to listen, speak and concentrate. We can develop an enclosed workspace around your team, their equipment and the way your interpreting service operates.
Make room for the work of interpreting
Remote interpreting involves listening, speaking and following information on screen at the same time. A dedicated interpreter booth gives that work a defined place within the wider office, helping keep the workstation together between sessions.
An enclosed pod can reduce competing activity around the interpreter and provide a separate place for spoken work. The room includes integrated lighting, ventilation and power; its layout can be developed around the tools your team already uses.
Explore the workspace your team needs
A shared or multi-room brief
Discuss space for paired working or several separately enclosed stations. We can explore the layouts, room identity and finishes around the way your team is organised.
These are starting ideas. We can develop a different approach around your project.
Build the brief around your workflow
A single interpreter working through a computer needs a different arrangement from two people sharing screens and controls. We can explore desk space, seating, sightlines and enclosure size together, including bespoke layout options where needed.
Tell us how a typical session works. We can then discuss the position of screens, space for notes and equipment, and the way the room sits within your wider operation. Your technical team or AV provider supplies the interpreting equipment and platform; we focus on the workspace around it.
Create a clear identity across your interpreting spaces
Room numbers, language labels and company graphics can make a group of pods easier to recognise and manage. A custom wrap can tie the spaces together, while smaller decals offer a restrained treatment within an existing office.
We can develop the graphics around the sightlines and glass treatment your team needs. Whether you want a single room or a coordinated set of workspaces, the finish can reflect the organisation using it.
Working to a conference or tender specification?
The term interpreter booth also covers specialist simultaneous-interpreting installations with defined technical requirements. FocusPod does not claim certification to an interpreting-booth standard.
If your project has a specified standard, share it with us so suitability can be assessed at the outset. For a remote interpreting workspace, we can begin with your workflow and develop the physical room from there.
An idea is enough to start
Tell us about your interpreting team and the workspace you want to create. We can help turn that idea into a tailored proposal.
- Tell us what you have in mind. A conversation, a reference image or an early idea can be the starting point. You do not need a finished specification.
- Explore the options together. We develop the size, layout, privacy, finishes and branding around your priorities, working through the practical details with you.
- Review a tailored proposal. We set out the agreed design, inclusions, custom work, pricing and timing so you can decide how to proceed.

Questions about interpreter booths
Can you develop a booth around our interpreting equipment?
Yes. We can develop the enclosure and furniture layout around your workstation. You or your AV provider supply the interpreting platform, consoles, headsets and other equipment.
Can two interpreters share the space?
A paired layout can be explored as part of the brief. We work through the space for both people, their equipment and the way they exchange roles before agreeing the design.
Are these certified simultaneous-interpreting booths?
No such certification is claimed. If your project specifies an interpreting-booth standard, send it for a suitability assessment before proceeding.
Do we need a complete technical brief to enquire?
No. Start with how your team works and what you want to improve. We can develop the room options with you and involve your technical team as needed.
What is a remote interpreting booth?
It is a dedicated workspace where an interpreter joins a session remotely using their chosen platform and audio equipment. FocusPod provides an enclosure that can be planned around that workstation; technical or certified conference requirements need a separate suitability assessment.
How much does a custom interpreter booth cost?
Pricing depends on the enclosure, individual or paired layout, furniture, finishes and site requirements. We can develop a proposal around your workflow and equipment footprint. Interpreting consoles and audio systems are supplied separately by you or your provider.
