CONSECUTIVE INTERPRETING

Professional and easy to understand. Consecutive interpreting means that the interpreter first listens to the speaker and only then interprets what they have said into another language. This type of interpreting is essential during small meetings, business lunches and field trips.

SIMULTANEOUS INTERPRETING

When interpreting for a large number of people and even in several language combinations at the same time, the best solution is simultaneous interpreting. This means that the spoken text is interpreted from inside an interpreter’s booth with a couple of seconds’ delay.

CONFERENCE INTERPRETING

At conferences, it is more important to communicate the speaker’s ideas rather than to translate every single word. Our professional simultaneous interpreters are able to ensure communication between representatives of different cultures.

COURT INTERPRETING

Legal language relies on precision, which is especially important at court. Our interpreters are experienced and well-versed in legal terminology. With their help, court proceedings will run smoothly.

OTHER TYPES OF INTERPRETING

We also provide other types of interpreting services, such as whispered interpreting, interpreting over the phone, or interpreting of Skype/Zoom conferences. If you can’t find what you are looking for among the listed types of interpreting services, please contact our project managers – we will definitely find the right solution for you!

ASSISTANT SERVICES

If you need help with interpreting in everyday situations, such as communicating with government or municipal institutions, submitting documents, and so forth, the interpreter-assistant services are the right choice for you. Contact us, and we will find the best solution!
