Interpreting services are essential for a wide variety of events & meetings, from governmental and business meetings to medical and academic conferences.

Some of the most requested types of presential interpreting are simultaneous, consecutive, and bilateral interpreting; although we also offer remote interpreting services, and type has its own specific characteristics and requirements.

Unlike translation, which involves the delivery of a written message from one language to another, interpreting consists of oral communication in real time.

Interpreters must be highly skilled and experienced to guarantee the quality, professionalism and accuracy of their work.

When we offer an interpreting service we have highly skilled professional interpreters who adapt to the specific needs of each event.

We offer interpreting for business events, governmental meetings, medical and academic conferences, etc., and always have interpreters with guaranteed quality and excellence in customer service.

Carried out in real time while the speaker speaks.

For this type of service we also offer the management of simultaneous interpreting technology, such as booths for interpreters and sound equipment so that event attendees can listen to the speaker in their language through headphones.

This type of interpreting is the most common at business events, conferences and international meetings.

The interpreter listens to the speaker and takes notes, and then transmits the message in the target language during the natural pauses in speech. This technique is common at government and legal meetings.

The interpreter serves as a liaison for communication between two individuals or small groups of people, and carries out bilateral and simultaneous interpreting; that is, they continuously change from one language to the other.

In liaison interpreting, booths and sound equipment are not used, and it is not essential to take notes. This technique is common at interviews and business meetings.

This type of interpreting, also known as online interpreting, is common at online events and international meetings.

Business events usually require simultaneous interpreting, as the pauses for consecutive interpreting would considerably prolong the duration of the event.

Interpreters specialised in the business field must have extensive knowledge of the specific sector in which the company works, as well as being capable of managing technical and financial terminology.

Governmental meetings may require simultaneous or consecutive interpreting, depending on the situation.

Interpreters must be familiar with political and legal terminology and be able to handle delicate and complex issues.

Interpreting for medical events requires a high level of specialisation, as it involves knowing technical and scientific terms.

Consecutive interpreting is common at this type of event, as doctors and specialists usually make pauses in their speech to allow interpreting. Interpreters must have extensive experience in the medical field and be familiar with technical and scientific terms.

Interpreting for legal events may require consecutive or simultaneous interpreting, depending on each situation.

Interpreters must be familiar with legal terminology and be able to handle tense or emotional situations.

Interpreting for academic events may require simultaneous or consecutive interpreting, depending on the type of event.

Although we have worked on urgent overnight requests, ideally, it is important to give the interpreter the necessary time to prepare the interpreting properly.

The more notice we have of the event, the more time the interpreter will have to prepare relevant documentation of the event’s sector and to plan their travel, if necessary.

Interpreting is quoted in days. An interpreter's full working day is 7 hours long and interpreting is usually measured in half or full days.

In the case of remote interpreting for meetings, it can also be calculated on an hourly basis, and in the case of simultaneous interpreting, there must be two interpreters providing the service if the meeting lasts more than one hour and a half.

However, it is easiest to get in touch with us so we can find adapt costs to meet your needs.

If for any reason, the selected interpreter isn't available for the event, we will immediately find another interpreter with the same expertise and experience to ensure that the event runs smoothly and effectively.

Yes, we can also adapt to this type of situation. In fact, many conferences are held at the weekend and many company meetings take place in different time zones, requiring interpreters who work outside office hours in Spain.

Of course. We adapt to the needs of our customers and their events. Get in touch with us and tell us more.

In the event that the event extends beyond the agreed time, our Production team will work with customers to ensure that the interpreter is available to cover the additional required time or have a back-up interpreter.
