Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between consecutive and simultaneous interpreting?
In consecutive interpreting, the speaker pauses and the interpreter then renders the speech. In simultaneous interpreting, the interpreter translates in real time, usually from a booth with headsets.
How far in advance should I book an interpreter?
Ideally one week, more for a conference. For urgent needs, contact us and we will do our best.
