Interpreting is a live language service provided either simultaneously (at the same time as the speaker) or consecutively (immediately after the speaker). Professional interpreters convey the source language accurately while adapting idioms, colloquial expressions, and cultural nuances so the target audience fully understands the message. The only tools they rely on are experience, a strong memory, and quick reflexes.
Interpreters work in various live settings, including:
-
Conferences and business meetings
-
Medical appointments
-
Court proceedings
-
Live television broadcasts
-
Sign language interpreting
