Interpretation

Interpretation is verbal translation of spoken language. Language Solutions provides both Simultaneous Interpretation and Consecutive Interpretation. Our interpreters are bilingual/bi-cultural professionals trained to bridge language barriers for effective communication. The interpreter's primary role is to facilitate clear and effective communication and to serve both parties in a neutral manner.

Simultaneous Interpretation is when the interpreter immediately speaks the message in the target language while listening to the source language speaker who continuously speaks.

Simultaneous interpretation often takes place during large professional conferences. The interpreters listen to the source language speaker through earphones. They speak the message into a microphone. The interpretation is broadcast directly to conference attendees who wear special receiver earphones. Simultaneous interpreters work in teams, alternating every 15-20 minutes due to the intense nature of this service.

Consecutive Interpretation is when the interpreter speaks the message in the target language after the source language speaker pauses.

Consecutive interpretation primarily takes place in small group settings. LSI can provide you with a professional consecutive interpreter if you plan to:

• welcome foreign dignitaries
• facilitate a multilingual meeting or trial
• escort foreign guests on a tour
• conduct a small group training session
• participate in a legal or medical consultation
