Interpreting services in all world languages

During consecutive interpretation, the interpretation is consecutive, i.e. time-delayed. During the source language speech, the interpreter notes down the speaker's ideas and explanations using a special note-taking technique. As soon as the speaker has finished the utterance, or pauses, the interpreter will render what has been said in the target language. As the speech is given twice with this technique, please note that a meeting or conference can last substantially longer when using a consecutive interpreter.

With simultaneous interpretation, the interpreter sits in a soundproof booth and listens to the speaker via a headset. The interpreter translates the speech simultaneously and continuously into the target language using simultaneous interpreting equipment. This technique demands a high degree of focus from the interpreter. Due to the high level of exertion, simultaneous interpreters work in teams of at least two and alternate with each other after 15 to 20 minutes. Simultaneous interpreters thoroughly prepare themselves for the topic of speech in advance in order to ensure high-quality interpretation.

If requested, we will provide you with a speech-to-text interpreter who will be at your disposal during online live broadcasts. In this way, online events, for example on YouTube, can be subtitled live and simultaneously in a foreign language.

The flexible, DIN and ISO-compliant interpreter booths ensure optimal working environments for interpreters and can be structurally modified to suit the conditions at the destination. This means maximum functionality can be guaranteed in all environments.
