On-Site Interpretation
Three Types of interpretation:
- Simultaneous is the most common type of interpretation. A microphone relays the speaker's voice to the interpreter sitting in a booth. The interpreter than instantaneously translates the speech into the relevant language and the listeners hear the interpretation via headsets. There are full soundproof booths and also table-top booths, which surround the upper body of the interpreter who is seated at a desk or table. We can discuss your event with you and help you with your choice of equipment. Our service can include the on-site equipment and technician.
- Consecutive interpretation is used when simultaneous interpretation is not possible usually due to the lack of equipment, the particular setting and when a majority of the participants do not understand the speaker’s language. The interpreter stands or sits next to the speaker and interprets what is said after the speaker says it. This type of interpretation is punctuated with pauses alternating from the speaker to the interpreter.
In a business meeting between two parties who do not speak a common language the bilingual interpreter sits with the parties and consecutively interprets what each party contributes to the discussion. This same procedure is used for trade shows and interactions with new prospective clients.
- Whispering is the least common type of interpretation. The interpreter sits next to the client and whispers the translation of the presentation while it is being made.
