Professional interpreter at a business meeting

Two Modes of Interpreting

We offer both primary modes of professional interpreting, matched to the format and needs of your event.

Simultaneous Interpreting

The interpreter listens and renders the message in the target language at the same time the speaker is talking, with only a few seconds' lag. Used for conferences, large meetings, and events where flow and pace must be maintained.

Consecutive Interpreting

The interpreter waits until the speaker finishes a sentence or group of words, then delivers the interpretation. Ideal for smaller meetings, legal proceedings, medical consultations, and social service visits where a natural pause is acceptable.
