Our office undertakes the organisation and performance of the following types of interpreting:

Liaison Interpreting

It is a form of consecutive interpreting used principally for small groups or meetings (e.g. a business meeting between two executives). It is considered to be the most personal and informal type of interpreting. We also recommend liaison interpreting for factory visits, machine adjustment and maintenance works, internal corporate trainings, and workshops.

Consecutive Interpreting

In case of consecutive interpreting, the interpreter stands beside the speaker and interprets in sections ( 1-2 sentences), i.e. consecutively. It is mainly recommended for small to medium-sized business meetings, but is perfectly suitable for larger gatherings with the use of a microphone and loud speakers.

Simultaneous Interpreting

The interpreter usually listens to the speech of the lecturer in a soundproof booth or room and translates into a microphone simultaneously. It is often performed with the aid of special interpreting equipment, headphones, microphones, and amplification. It is also referred to as conference interpreting as it is mainly used at conferences, official events, and ceremonies.

Whispered interpreting

It is similar to the consecutive interpreting. The interpreter sits or stands next to a small target-language audience whilst whispering the simultaneous interpretation of the speech. It requires no equipment, but may be done via a microphone and headphones. Whispered interpreting is used when the majority of a group speaks the source language, and a person or a small group of people (ideally no more than three) do not speak it.
