Stuttgart is the capital of Baden-Württemberg and the center of a region known for automotive and mechanical engineering. Messe Stuttgart sits right next to Stuttgart Airport and hosts more than 60 trade shows and other events a year, many with international reach, so buyers, exhibitors, and engineers from many countries meet in the same halls.
The ICS International Congress Center Stuttgart adds congresses and conferences on the same site. Around the fairground, supplier audits, factory visits, and quality-assurance meetings regularly bring together German-speaking engineers and delegations who work in English or other languages.
The city also carries the daily interpreting demand of a state capital. The Landgericht Stuttgart and the Oberlandesgericht Stuttgart hear civil and criminal matters, the Landtag of Baden-Württemberg receives visiting groups and delegations, and Klinikum Stuttgart treats patients from across the region. Turkish, Italian, Croatian, and Greek communities are long established here, so German is the anchor language, most often paired with English, Turkish, Italian, Croatian, Greek, and Arabic.
We provide simultaneous interpreting from booths for congresses and trade-fair programs, consecutive interpreting for negotiations, depositions, and clinical discussions, and whispered (chuchotage) and liaison interpreting for site visits and small delegations. Interpreters work into their native language only, and we brief them on your terminology before the assignment.
For hybrid programs we run remote simultaneous interpreting (RSI), video remote interpreting (VRI), and telephone interpreting on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Webex. Where a venue lacks built-in cabins, we arrange booths, headsets, and on-site technicians.
For court hearings in Stuttgart we work with interpreters sworn under the German Court Interpreters Act (Gerichtsdolmetschergesetz), and the court decides which interpreter it accepts. If your hearing, notary appointment, or registry visit also needs paperwork, certified translation of the supporting documents can be ordered in the same request.
