Full range of Services
As well as quality interpreting services, we also offer a full range of translation services, including transcreation, website translation and technical translation.
Ad-hoc/liaison
The interpreting is carried out in small, informal situations such as solicitors’ appointments or group discussions. The interpreter will pause at regular intervals to interpret both into and out of the participants’ target languages. (The term is not to be confused with its use in medical circles, where it refers to untrained individuals such as family or friends who interpret to bridge a communicative gap between the patient and staff).
Consecutive
The interpreting occurs after sentences or short bursts of speech, and is commonly used in more formal situations such as court proceedings, small conferences, factory visits, and business meetings.
Simultaneous
The source voice is interpreted with a 2-3 second delay, requiring soundproof booths, microphones, and several specifically-qualified linguists to simultaneously listen, interpret, and relay the message to delegates’ headsets. It is often used for large multinational meetings, summits, and conferences.
Telephone
Not all interpreting requirements can be foreseen and some do not need an interpreter on-site. Our on-demand telephone interpreting services are available 24-7 to connect you to a linguist within minutes, ideal for example when ordering from overseas suppliers or negotiating with clients via conference call.
Chuchotage/whispered interpreting
The interpreter sits amongst delegates and relays the interpretation by whisper, delivering a much quicker service than consecutive interpreting. This variation is best suited to smaller audiences where a handful of attendees do not understand the source language.

In the context of language and translation, interpretation is the process of understanding and translating communication, either spoken or signed, from a source language into a listener’s target language. The goal of interpretation is to provide a translation in as close to real-time as possible. By accurately interpreting and conveying meaning between two languages, an interpreter facilitates quick and effective communication between parties.
The role of an interpreter is to facilitate verbal communication between people with different language backgrounds. Unlike translation, interpretation aims to be as close to real-time as possible, giving individuals the best chance of understanding and participating in the situation where interpretation is required.
As well as being highly proficient in the source and target languages, interpreters must have a range of skills and experience to succeed in the role:
Business interpreting is a specialised field of interpretation whereby multilingual orators are used to give your business a credible voice in a range of professional contexts, including meetings, presentations, phone calls, conferences, and negotiations to name but a few. Business interpretation can take place in person or digitally, and ensures that your business is able to communicate effectively with audiences in a range of contexts.
As well as being fluent in multiple languages, business interpreters must have a high level of industry and subject matter expertise to ensure they can understand, translate and effectively convey the meaning of potentially complex ideas. Our interpreters have the skills and expertise to interpret in industry-specific settings like legal, medical, retail, automotive, financial and more. They also have the professionalism and depth of experience required to perform in all levels of the business world, from small scale meetings to global business interactions.
An interpretation service is the professional provision of trained and experienced interpreters who can operate in the required contexts. The goal of interpretation services is the facilitation of communication between two or more parties who speak different languages
Interpretation services require in-depth knowledge and specialist equipment, including fluency in origin and target language/s, technical and industry proficiency soundproof booths, audio equipment, technicians with the training and expertise to operate it, and much more. Given the complexity of the service and its technical underpinning, businesses often choose to tap into the experience of established business interpretation services.
