INTERPRETATION
Effective interpretation as and when it’s called for.
Communication happens in the moment. Which means interpretation must always do the same. At EC Innovations we've been busy interpreting for many international clients for more than 27 years now. You'll find EC Interpreters attending business meetings, presentations, over-the-phone meetings, virtual remote meetings, conferences, seminars, product launches and more. Our interpreters facilitate sophisticated levels of communication - thanks to their subject-specific knowledge, cultural awareness, and natural linguistic fluency.
You can book an individual interpreter, or a team of interpreters from EC Innovations, to attend any location anytime. What's more, our specialist interpreters are all expert in their chosen fields. We'll interpret fluently across almost every discipline, including technology, healthcare, legal, financial and government affairs. All this real-world interpretation expertise is backed up by the official certification every one of our interpreters carries. We select interpreters for each assignment based on relevant subject matter expertise, and particular interpersonal qualities. Comprehensive interpretation services include:
- Simultaneous Interpretation
- Consecutive Interpretation
- Alternating Interpretation
- Liaison Interpretation
- Sight Interpretation for meeting and conference materials
- ASL (American Sign Language)
- OPI (Over the Phone Interpretation)
INTERPRETATION
Simultaneous Interpretation
When a speaker addresses an audience (e.g in a seminar or conference setting), simultaneous interpretation is the order of the day. A simultaneous interpreter is able to listen and translate the words of the speaker in real time. Simultaneous interpreters do not have to wait for the speaker to finish before preparing their translation - they simply follow a few words behind.
Effective simultaneous interpretation often depends on specialist equipment and engineering support. Delegates attending international meetings or seminars can select the language of their choice, delivered through headsets connected to multi-channel wireless receivers. Multilingual interpreters, all working in their own soundproof booths, are each responsible for one of the languages on offer. Simultaneous Interpretation is recommended for large group settings such as Assemblies, Global Companies meetings etc.
INTERPRETATION
Consecutive Interpretation
Another option is consecutive interpretation. This is more suitable for one-on-one settings such as site visits, tours, legal settings, business negotiations, and other small group meetings. Consecutive interpretation sees an interpreter taking notes during a presentation. They then offer their interpretation once the speaker has finished, or from time to time in natural breaks in the narrative.
One popular type of consecutive interpretation is known as Liaison interpreting. This is typically used to support a conversation between two parties speaking different languages. This could be two individuals, or two small groups. Note-taking is not required, as Liaison interpretation reflects the back and forth nature of everyday conversation.
Consecutive Interpretation is recommended for small group settings with one to two speakers and a small audience.
