Interpreting

All kinds of interpreting for different purposes (Conferences, bussines meetings, negotiations, entertaining, public service, staff training, etc. )

• Simultaneous

  Simultaneous interpreting: is used mainly in conferences and tele/video conferences. The interpreter renders the message in the target-language as quickly as he or she can formulate it from the source language, while the source-language speaker continuously speaks. The interpreter is sitting in a sound-proof booth, speaks into a microphone, while clearly seeing and hearing the source-language speaker via earphones. The simultaneous interpretation is rendered to the target-language listeners via their earphones.

• Consecutive

  Consecutive interpreting: The interpreter sits or stands beside the source-language speaker, listening and taking notes. The interpreter speaks after the source-language speaker has finished his speech or a segment of it (usually 10 or 15 minutes).

• Whispered

  Whispered interpreting (or chuchotage, in french) is used in circumstances where there is only a small number of listeners who do not speak the source-language. The interpreter sits or stands next to the listeners of the target-language whispering the simultaneous interpretation. This method requires no equipment, but may be done via microphone and headphones if preferred.

• Information about interpreting

  Interpreting is creative, mentally and physically demanding job. To get best out of an interpreter you should guarantee him/her good working conditions (remember how irritating can be background noises when you need to concentrate) and as much information as possible.
