“Interpreters must find ways to express words, ideas and processes that may have no equivalent in the target language.”

Interpreting is the art of converting oral messages expressed in one language into their equivalent in another language. Interpreters do not generally speak word for word, but rather concept for concept by selecting terminology that makes sense in the new language. There are two kinds of interpreting: consecutive & simultaneous.

Consecutive interpreting is a process where the interpreter repeats what each speaker is saying into each of the respective languages one phrase at a time. As this format promotes true dialog, it is best used in medical appointments and other one-on-one settings.

Simultaneous interpreting is real-time interpreting. This sort of interpreting is often seen at conferences or seminars as well as court hearings and jury trials. Our on-site interpreting services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
