Professional Interpreter Services in Geneva

Geneva is home to more international organizations than any other city in the world, and the institutions clustered around the Palais des Nations set an exceptionally high bar for interpreting. The United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG), the World Health Organization, the World Trade Organization at the Centre William Rappard, the International Committee of the Red Cross, WIPO, and the ITU together generate enormous and highly specialized demand for conference and consecutive interpreting across the six official UN languages and beyond, where relay protocol, booth handover discipline, and accurate technical vocabulary are non-negotiable. The Court of Arbitration for Sport and ICC arbitration proceedings add a demanding legal dimension with examination and cross-examination registers, while Geneva University Hospitals, the private banking houses along the lakefront, and congresses at Palexpo and the CICG keep year-round demand high across medical, financial, and corporate settings.

BeTranslated supports simultaneous interpreting from ISO-compliant soundproof booths for plenaries and committees, consecutive interpreting for legal depositions, investor meetings, and diplomatic briefings, whispered (chuchotage) interpreting for side events and receptions, and escort interpreting for delegations across Geneva and the wider French-speaking region. For hybrid and online programs we run remote simultaneous interpreting and video remote interpreting on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and Kudo, and we arrange booths, receiver systems, and on-site technicians where a venue lacks built-in cabins. Our network covers the six official UN languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish) alongside German, Italian, Portuguese, and the specialist pairs required for humanitarian and medical diplomacy, and we field sworn interpreters for Swiss courts, notaries, and arbitration where a matter calls for it.
