Interpretation
Language interpretation is the process of converting spoken or signed language from one language into another in real-time. This service is provided by a professional interpreter who facilitates communication between individuals or groups who speak different languages. Interpretation plays a crucial role in enabling effective communication in various settings. Interpretation services come in various types, each tailored to specific communication needs and contexts.
Consecutive Interpretation
The interpreter will interpret after and not while the speaker speaks. The speakers will make pauses and allow time for the interpretation. The interpretation of sentences is performed at intervals of discourse, often after a few phrases. It is suitable for business meetings, workshops, seminars, judicial proceedings, medical visits, etc..
Simultaneous Interpretation
This is the interpretation of words as they are spoken. It is ideal for international conferences or any event involving multiple languages and technical equipment. This type of interpretation requires two interpreters, taking turns every 20-30 minutes. This is the most difficult of all types of interpretations, because the interpreting is done while the speakers are speaking. The interpreter will interpret a few words behind the speaker. It requires great concentration, the ability to listen and speak at the same time, and a thorough knowledge of both languages as well as the subject matter.
Sight Translation
Sight translation can be defined as the reading of a text by the interpreter from the source language into the target language, simultaneously, in a manner in which the content of the document can be easily understood by the audience.

Document Translation
Document translation is the process of converting written content from one language into another while maintaining accuracy, clarity, and cultural sensitivity. It involves the transformation of written text, such as documents, texts, articles, reports, and more, from the source language (the original language of the document) into the target language (the language into which the document is being translated).

Interpretation Equipment Rental
Interpretation equipment rental refers to the process of renting the necessary audio and technical equipment required for conducting interpretation services, especially simultaneous interpretation, during events, conferences, or meetings. This equipment is crucial for ensuring that participants who speak different languages can understand and communicate with each other in real-time. When renting interpretation equipment, it's essential to consider the specific needs of your event, including the number of languages to be interpreted, the size of the audience, and the technical requirements.
Headsets
Wireless headsets are provided to event attendees or participants, allowing them to hear the interpreter's translation without disturbing others. These headsets often have adjustable channels for selecting the language they want to hear.
Interpreter Booths
Soundproof interpreter booths are set up for interpreters to work from. They provide a quiet environment for interpreters to hear the source language and deliver the target language interpretation. This is commonly used in large conferences and events.
Microphones
Different types of microphones, such as handheld or lavalier microphones, may be used by speakers, presenters, and interpreters to ensure clear and effective communication.
Audio Transmitters and Receivers
These devices transmit the interpreter's voice to the attendees' headsets and are crucial for enabling real-time interpretation.
