How does interpretation
differ from translation?
Translation refers to written work. Interpretation is its
oral version.
Are there different modes of interpretation?
There are two main modes: Simultaneous and Consecutive
Simultaneous
-- the interpreter speaks at the same time as the
speaker. This mode is normally used in conferences,
where the
interpreters sit in booths and use special sound
equipment.
Consecutive --
the interpreter speaks after the speaker. No special
equipment is needed. Because the speaker and
the interpreter repeatedly speak in turn, consecutive
interpreting is much
lengthier
than simultaneous interpreting.
Why do Conference
Interpreters work in teams?
There are international
standards regulating our activity. These
standards ultimately contribute to the success
of your event. In
accordance with these standards, interpreters always
work in pairs for
any event exceeding 1 hour in duration. Click

How many Conference Interpreters do I need for my event?
As mentioned
above, Conference Interpreters work in teams. You will
need a team of 2 interpreters per language per every
6-hour day.
