If the audience won't be comfortable with a language I can speak, it
is important to have translation. However, consecutive translation
is not feasible, because it would more than double the length of the
speech. Please do not ask me to do that--I will refuse.

I have found it works to do simultaneous translation without special
systems: I speak into the ear of the interpreter, and the interpreter
speaks to the microphone. This avoids the need for special
transmitters and headsets. However, it does require an interpreter
capable of doing simultaneous translation for more than an hour.
Do not propose doing this with a person whose translation skills
are not adequate for this.

Another method is to set up a microphone and speaker system for the
interpreter in a far corner of the room, or a balcony. If the
speakers are set up suitably, people there can hear the interpreter
well, while people in the front of the room can hear me well.
