What we offer
INTERPRETINGEnglish-GermanGerman-English
Simultaneous interpreting
Our solution for conferences and meetings, management and supervisory board meetings, annual general meetings, European works council meetings, press conferences as videoconferencing or face-to-face meetings.
The translation takes place simultaneously from the original language into the target language. As this form of interpreting requires a high level of concentration, two interpreters are required at events lasting more than one hour, working in soundproof interpreting booths and alternating regularly.
Remote Simultaneous Interpreting
Companies are increasingly conducting meetings in the form of video conferences in which neither the participants nor the interpreters are physically present. For a limited number of paticipants telephone conferences are a good option. For larger numbers of participants we work together with highly qualified colleagues and our long-standing provider who specialises in conference technology. The interpreters work remotely in so-called fixed hubs (interpreting booths for two or more languages) independent of the venue. The conference is transmitted via video to the interpreters. The participants listen to the interpretation at their respective location. The platform for the video conference (e.g. Zoom, Skype for Business, Microsoft Teams, Gotomeeting, Webex) is irrelevant.
Whispered interpreting
In this type of simultaneous interpreting the translation is carried out without a great deal of technical aid using our so-called tour guide system. The interpreters remain in the background and deliver the interpretation to the participants via headphones. No technical aids are required for up to three listeners. Whispered interpreting is also particularly suitable for tours, guided tours and site visits.
Consecutive interpreting
Our solution for festive occasions such as civil weddings, speeches and receptions; or for official visits to authorities, notaries and courts, and also for business negotiations and short training courses. The translation is carried out with a time delay after several sentences. For this purpose, the interpreter uses her or his proven note-taking technique to translate into the target language.
