Interpreting

Are you expecting an important foreign guest at your company, or is your partner from abroad? Such situations require an interpreter or interpreting team to help overcome language and cultural barriers. An interpreter or interpreting team will provide you with important support in achieving your professional or personal goals. We always provide interpreting tailored to the specific event, including interpreting and conference equipment. Contact us for more information.

In what situations can you rely on us?

Simultaneous interpreting

Simultaneous interpreting during a speaker's presentation is used primarily at conferences, professional seminars, international lectures, and large corporate events, where fluency and time efficiency are important. It almost always requires specialized interpreting equipment.

Consecutive interpreting

Consecutive interpreting, where the speaker speaks first and then the interpreter, is often used in smaller meetings, business negotiations, press conferences, work meetings, or when accompanying delegations. It does not require interpreting equipment.

Court interpreting

Interpreting performed by an interpreter appointed by the court who is registered in the official list of court interpreters. It is used in court proceedings, notarial and legal acts, weddings at the registry office, and other official situations.

Escort interpreting

A flexible form of interpreting designed for situations where the interpreter accompanies an individual or a small group and ensures continuous communication in everyday and work situations. It is used, for example, at business meetings, on business trips, during company visits, inspections, trade fairs, etc.

Online/over-the-phone interpreting

A modern and fast form of interpreting that takes place remotely via videoconference, telephone, or online communication platforms. It is used for international meetings, online training, business negotiations, customer support, but also in urgent situations where immediate language assistance is needed.

Interpreting equipment

It is used at conferences, meetings of large companies, or at hybrid and online events. Properly selected technology increases the comfort of all participants and ensures a professional level of interpretation. We will provide the technology for your event, including professional installation and on-site technicians.

FAQ about interpreting

What types of events do you interpret at?

We interpret at all types of events – conferences, seminars, training sessions, workshops, business meetings, press conferences, trade fairs, cultural and social events, and online events. We also interpret at events that require court interpreting, such as at the registry office, weddings, interrogations, notarial deeds, and other proceedings with public authorities.

When do I need a court interpreting service?

You need a court interpreter when you are participating in official or legal proceedings and one of the parties does not understand Czech sufficiently. Typically, this involves court and administrative proceedings, police interrogations, dealings with authorities, notarial acts, asylum and immigration proceedings, or other situations where officially authorized interpretation is required. Interpreting at weddings and registry offices is also in high demand.

Do you have interpreting equipment available?

Yes. In cooperation with verified suppliers, we can provide complete interpreting equipment according to the type of event – for example, interpreting booths, wireless receivers and headphones for listeners, microphones, transmitters, and equipment for online interpreting.

Is one interpreter sufficient for a full day of conference interpreting?

In most cases, no. For full-day conferences, it is standard practice to have at least two interpreters who take turns during the interpreting. Interpreting requires a high level of concentration, and the cooperation of several interpreters ensures that the entire event runs smoothly, reliably, and to a high standard.

What are chuchotage, consecutive, and simultaneous interpreting? What is the difference between them?

There are three basic forms of interpreting, which differ in method and use:

  • Whispered interpreting (chichotage) is simultaneous interpreting whispered directly to one or two listeners, without technology. It is suitable for smaller meetings or accompanying individuals.
  • Consecutive interpreting involves the speaker speaking in short segments and the interpreter then interpreting the content. It is used in meetings, training sessions, and press conferences.
  • Simultaneous interpreting takes place at the same time as the speaker’s speech, usually using interpreting equipment. It is typical for conferences, congresses, and larger international events.

The main difference lies in the timing of the interpreting, the equipment used, and the suitability for different types of events.
