Interpreting

There are two main kinds of interpreting. Simultaneous: the interpreter speaks almost at the same time as the speaker, usually using equipment (headsets, a booth); this suits conferences and events with many participants where pauses would waste time. Consecutive: the interpreter speaks after the speaker finishes a sentence or thought; this format works better for negotiations, deals and small meetings where personal contact matters.

Clients most often come to us for interpreting at business negotiations, when signing deals and contracts, and for court hearings, where interpreting must be precise and legally sound rather than a loose summary.

For meetings where the interpreter does not need to — or cannot — be in the same room, a video call format is available: the same simultaneous or consecutive interpreting, but remote, without the interpreter attending in person.

Interpreting is best booked in advance — especially simultaneous: the interpreter needs time to get familiar with the subject and terminology of the specific event or deal.
