Interpretation
The 2 main types of interpretation are: simultaneous and consecutive.
Simultaneous interpretation requires interpreters to listen and speak at the
same time. In simultaneous interpretation, the interpreter begins to convey
a sentence being spoken while the speaker is still talking. During
consecutive, the interpreter waits until a complete statement has been
spoken and then begins interpreting (so only one person is speaking at a
time). As a result, consecutive interpretation allows for a slower but
higher-quality interpretation.

Our interpreters are available for seminars, business meetings,
conferences, legal depositions, tourist excursions, court appearances or
any other situation in which effective communication mandates the use of a
linguistic intermediary.

Escort Interpretation
Frequently, visiting foreign government officials and business professionals who face a language
barrier require consecutive interpreters to escort them through their informal, personal conversations
and interactions.  Consecutive interpreters are also used in highly technical and industry-specific
settings; for example, meetings about the specifics of a defense contract, or financial/economic
summits with trade officials.

Whisper Interpreting
Whisper interpreting, or “chuchotage” resembles simultaneous interpreting in that the interpreter
provides a simultaneous interpretation to an audience. The primary difference is that the audience is
much smaller, typically three or fewer people. For this reason, the interpreter is typically in very close
proximity to the audience in order to whisper the interpretation to them.

Translation
Globalization / Localization
We "localize" or adapt your website to the native language desired, taking into account the linguistic,
cultural, social and monetary requirements of the target market.

Clip art, photographs, symbols and colors must be adapted for culture-specific adaptability. A clip art
symbol of an American "stop" sign, or a two-fingered "V" for victory may be viewed differently in other
countries. Even the color scheme must be looked at, since colors have different cultural associations
in different countries.

Website Localization
Localization is the process involving the translation and adaptation of technology-related materials
from one language into another. Such materials include websites, software packages, and multimedia
packages. The localization process goes much deeper than straight translation and involves meeting
both technical and linguistic challenges.

From a technical standpoint all facets of the material being localized must be considered, from user
interface to how numbers and other values must be presented in the local format. Equally important
is targeting the user population appropriately, taking such things into consideration as cultural
nuances, appropriateness of graphics and even locally preferred color schemes.
Transcription
Multilingual transcription services are required across many industries and within the public sector.
Our multilingual transcription services are supported by professional linguists who can transcribe in
any language – or translate the audio into the language required.

Our transcribers work from CDs, audio and video tapes and electronic audio files across a wide
range of material including focus groups, live-wire recordings, verbal questionnaires, TV or radio
programs and interviews. We can provide the transcription in a variety of formats and include the
time codes.
