Consecutive, simultaneous, whispered, and liaison interpreting for legal, medical, business, and conference settings. 50+ languages. On-site across 49 European cities, 27 more worldwide, and remote anywhere.
Every interpreting assignment carries different stakes. A federal court hearing, a hospital triage, a cross-border merger negotiation, and a UN-style multi-language conference each demand a different mode, a different specialist profile, and different equipment.
We match interpreters to assignments by language pair, subject specialism, accreditation, and operational logistics.
Our network covers 50+ languages. On-site interpreting is concentrated across 49 European cities, extends to 27 more in Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas, and runs remotely anywhere.
Equipment provisioning, booth setup, audio engineering, and platform integration (Zoom, Webex, KUDO, Interprefy) are all handled in-house so the assignment runs without surprises on the day.
Each interpreting mode suits a different context. Choose the format that fits your event, venue, and audience size.
Ideal for meetings, depositions, and GP appointments
The speaker pauses at natural intervals and the interpreter renders each passage into the target language. No equipment is required, making it the most flexible on-site format.
Consecutive is the standard choice for legal hearings, medical consultations, depositions, and any setting where turn-taking is natural and note-taking precision matters.
Real-time via headsets and booths for 30+ minute sessions
The interpreter renders speech in real time while the speaker continues without pause. Listener headsets receive the output directly from a sound-isolated booth.
Two interpreters are assigned for every session exceeding 30 minutes. ISO 4043-compliant booths are available same day at venues across Europe and internationally.
No equipment; interpreter whispers to 1-2 listeners in confidential settings
The interpreter sits beside a small group of listeners and renders speech in a low voice without any technical equipment. No booth, no headsets, no setup time.
Chuchotage is the preferred format for bilateral negotiations, VIP briefings, and factory or site visits where installing equipment is impractical.
Two-way conversation mode for legal, medical, and official settings
The interpreter mediates a two-way conversation between parties who do not share a language, rendering each speaker's words in turn. Nuance and register are preserved throughout.
Liaison interpreting is standard in solicitor-client consultations, medical appointments, immigration interviews, and bilateral business negotiations.
RSI, VRI, and OPI cover every remote scenario from large-scale virtual conferences to urgent on-demand calls.
Conference-grade simultaneous interpreting delivered over Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, or dedicated RSI platforms. Listeners join a language channel from any device.
RSI eliminates the need for on-site booths and travel, making it the most cost-effective format for international virtual events and hybrid conferences.
Interpreter and parties connect via video call. Visual cues, facial expressions, and body language are preserved, making VRI significantly more accurate than telephone for complex settings.
Used for telehealth consultations, virtual court hearings, immigration interviews, and cross-border business meetings where a physical interpreter is unavailable or impractical.
On-demand telephone interpretation with no booking lead time. Callers are connected to a qualified interpreter for the requested language within minutes.
OPI is the standard choice for urgent and emergency situations, walk-in clinic consultations, utility and government helplines, and any setting where speed matters more than visual contact.
The mode is rarely the hard part. Group size, room layout, the programme for the day, and how far the interpreter has to travel decide more than the language pair does. The examples below are anonymized from recent bookings.
An energy-sector client needed an interpreter at short notice for a workplace safety training at their Zaragoza plant. Once the group size became clear, the job needed two interpreters rather than one, and we corrected the quote before the day rather than send one person into a session they could not sustain.
Simultaneous work in particular is a two-interpreter job past a certain duration. That is a physical limit, not an upsell.
A trade-union training seminar in Houffalize needed bilingual and trilingual interpreting across the day. We recommended a booth or a portable system based on what the programme actually looked like, room by room.
A social-innovation forum wanted interpreters and the booth and headset hire in a single quote for a multi-day public event, which is usually the cleaner way to book it.
A Brussels business delegation needed whispered French to Czech interpreting with an early start. The interpreter travelled in the evening before, because arriving on the morning of a 9am session is not a plan.
For on-site work outside the interpreter's home city, the travel and the night before are part of what you are booking.
An international network booking simultaneous interpreting for its annual seminar supplied the full programme in advance. That is the single most useful thing a client can send.
Names, agenda, slides, acronyms, and the list of speakers let the interpreter prepare. Without them the interpreter is hearing your terminology for the first time in the room.
A corporate compliance and traceability firm asked for interpreting at a meeting whose technical requirements we did not think we could meet properly. We reviewed it and declined.
An interpreter who cannot follow the subject matter is worse than no interpreter, because the room believes the output.
A Spanish manufacturer needed Spanish and German interpreting for a first video call with a prospective distributor. A first exploratory call does not justify flying anyone anywhere.
A private hospital group looked at the opposite end of the same idea: on-demand live interpreting in six languages, available to patients who do not speak the local language.
Remote interpretation suits webinars, virtual conferences, and international meetings where flying in an interpreter would be costly or impractical. On-site is usually the better choice for complex legal proceedings, sensitive medical consultations, and large in-person conferences where booth infrastructure is already installed. Many of our clients run a hybrid model, with some interpreters on-site and others connecting remotely.
For large multilingual conferences, book two to three months ahead, especially for rare language pairs or specialist subject areas. Smaller meetings and remote interpreting can often be arranged with two weeks' notice. Last-minute bookings for complex events carry real quality risk, so earlier is always better.
Send as much context as possible: the agenda, speaker notes or slides, a glossary of key terminology, and a clear brief on format and audience. The more an interpreter understands before the event starts, the more accurate and natural the output will be.
Not for high-stakes settings. AI-assisted tools improve terminology management and productivity for human interpreters, but full machine interpretation still cannot reliably handle cultural nuance, contextual ambiguity, or the accountability that legal and medical communication demands. For quality-critical work, human interpretation remains the standard.
