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 not negotiable.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport and ICC arbitration proceedings add a demanding legal dimension of examination and cross-examination, 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 provides simultaneous, consecutive, whispered, liaison, and remote interpreting, matched to the event format, audience size, and sector. Simultaneous interpreting runs from soundproof booths for plenaries and committees at Palexpo, the Palais des Nations, and organization headquarters, consecutive interpreting fits legal depositions, investor meetings, and diplomatic briefings, chuchotage supports UN side events and receptions, and escort interpreters accompany delegations.

Diplomatic and NGO assignments cover missions linked to the United Nations, Red Cross, World Bank, and OCHA, legal work includes certified and sworn interpreters for Swiss courts, notaries, arbitration panels, and immigration procedures, and medical interpreting supports Geneva University Hospitals across patient consultations, informed consent, and clinical trials.
