Interpreting service
Communicate with your audience in real time with our interpreting service
In a globalised world, seamless communication between speakers of different languages is more important than ever. Whether in business meetings, international conferences, legal proceedings, or corporate events, a high-quality interpreting service ensures that messages are conveyed accurately and without language barriers.
At Connecting Translations, we provide interpreting services tailored to each client’s needs. Our highly qualified interpreters specialise in various sectors and have extensive experience in diverse settings. Our goal is to deliver effective interpreting solutions for any situation.
What is interpreting and why is it crucial?
Interpreting is the process of converting spoken language from one language to another in real time or with minimal delay. Unlike translation, which focuses on written texts, interpreting demands speed, accuracy and a high level of specialisation.
A skilled interpreter conveys not only words, but also the speaker’s tone, intention and emotions, ensuring that the message reaches the target audience with the same impact and clarity.
Our interpreting services
At Connecting Translations, we offer diverse types of interpreting services tailored to each client’s needs. Below, we outline each service and the situations in which it is most recommended.
Simultaneous interpreting service
Simultaneous interpreting is the ideal choice for large events where speeches need to be translated in real time. It is commonly used at congresses, international conferences, political summits, and multilingual events, where speed and accuracy are essential.
How does it work?
Interpreters work from soundproof booths, listening to the speaker through headphones. As the speaker talks, the interpreter simultaneously translates their speech into the target language, and transmits it to the audience via wireless receivers.
Where is it used?
- International congresses and conferences.
- Summits and government meetings.
- Scientific seminars and symposia.
- Business and networking events.
Key considerations
- Requires technical equipment such as soundproof booths, microphones, and headphones.
- It is advisable to have two interpreters per language to ensure accuracy and prevent fatigue.
- Demands a high level of concentration and quick thinking.
Consecutive interpreting service
Consecutive interpreting is a method in which the interpreter listens to the speaker, takes notes, and then conveys the message in the target language once the speaker has finished.
How does it work?
The interpreter takes notes during the speech and, when the speaker pauses or finishes, delivers the message in the target language. Accuracy is crucial to preserving the exact meaning of the original speech.
Where is it used?
- Business meetings and trade negotiations.
- Press conferences and interviews.
- Institutional presentations and speeches.
- Guided tours and small-group events.
Key considerations
- Does not require specialised technical equipment.
- It is slower than simultaneous interpreting, as the message is conveyed after the speaker finishes.
- Ideal for situations with direct interaction between participants.
Whispered interpreting service (chuchotage)
Whispered interpreting or chuchotage is a variant of simultaneous interpreting where the interpreter quietly translates the speech into the ear of one or two participants.
How does it work?
The interpreter stands beside the person needing translation and whispers the message in real time, enabling them to follow the conversation without interruption.
Where is it used?
- Private meetings and negotiations.
- Diplomatic discussions and high-level meetings.
- Accompanying foreign delegations at events.
- Court hearings requiring translation for only one party.
Key considerations
- Suitable for a maximum of two people.
- Can be uncomfortable if prolonged due to the vocal effort required from the interpreter.
- Requires no technical equipment, making it a flexible and cost-effective option.
Remote interpreting service
Remote interpreting is an ideal solution when participants are in different locations and need to communicate across languages. It is conducted via telephone or video conferencing platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet.
How does it work?
The interpreter joins the call and provides real-time translation, ensuring smooth communication between participants.
Where is it used?
- International virtual meetings.
- Customer support for global companies.
- Job interviews with candidates from other countries.
- Legal and medical procedures when in-person interpreters are unavailable.
Key considerations
- Sound quality is crucial for accurate interpreting.
- No travel is required, making it a faster and more accessible option.
- Can be used in both simultaneous and consecutive interpreting.
Sworn interpreting service
Sworn interpreting is a specialised service in which an officially accredited interpreter translates speeches in legal and administrative contexts, ensuring their official validity.
How does it work?
The sworn interpreter participates in court proceedings, notarial acts, police interviews and official meetings with authorities, ensuring that the translation is accurate, faithful to the original and legally recognised.
Where is it used?
- Trials and court hearings.
- Notarised statements and official declarations.
- Immigration and residency procedures.
- International employee recruitment processes.
Key considerations
- Only interpreters certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can perform sworn interpreting.
- Absolute accuracy is crucial, as any error may impact legal outcomes.
- A deep understanding of legal terminology and procedures is required.
