Interpreting
Interpreting is demanding, requiring immediate, accurate translation of speech without help from reference materials. Aplomb's interpreters are therefore skilled professionals, fluent in two languages, and usually experts in a particular field.
Interpreting services are typically divided into various types:
- Consecutive interpreting: Interpreters translate or summarize after short sections of a discussion. This sort of interpreting is appropriate for one-to-one meetings or small groups.
- Simultaneous interpreting: This is the most difficult sort of interpreting. Interpreters listen and translate at the same time, enabling multi-national conference delegates, for example, to understand another delegate's speech as it takes place. Simultaneous interpreting requires highly skilled interpreters and special equipment (booths, earphones, etc).
- Court interpreting: Court interpreters must be proficient consecutive interpreters with experience of court procedures. They must also be able to remain impartial at all times.
