We handle the following types of interpretation:

· Consecutive interpretation

· Simultaneous interpretation

· Whispered interpretation

· Judicial interpretation

· Community interpretation

Consecutive Interpretation

A traditional form of interpreting, where the speaker(s) and the interpreter are speaking one after another. Our skills have been strengthened by years of experience in the field, which facilitates the most efficient and multilayered communication between individuals who speak different languages.

An interpreter is expected to meet at least following requirements:

· Being prepared for the task

· Punctuality

· Handling terminology

· Using technique of taking notes

· Following the ethical interpretation basics

· Kindness and a positive attitude

Simultaneous Interpretation

This is the most challenging form of interpreting, where both interpreter and interpreted speak at the same time. It usually requires for the interpreter to undergo a special training for simultaneous interpreting. It also requires some experience and strong knowledge of both interpreted languages and a terminology. Due to simultaneous translation being quite demanding, it requires usually two interpreters that alternate with each other. Also, it requires a lot of equipment – translation booth (booths), microphones, headsets and audio control devices. They are being monitored by a technician, who is present at the location of interpreting during its course.

Whispered Interpretation

We offer whispered interpretation, which is a “lighter” type of simultaneous interpretation. It is an excellent method for many interpretation venues, from a court room to a factory hall. The interpreter has a microphone, which is wirelessly connected to the headsets given to the audience. The interpreter positions himself at a sufficient distance from the speaker and interprets in a silent voice to the audience.

Benefits:

· You save significant amount of money: no need for a booth for simultaneous interpretation or a monitoring technician service

· All the benefits of simultaneous translation

· The interpreter may interact with the speaker and the audience

Judicial Interpretation

The court room is a challenging interpretation environment and requires a lot of diligence and the utmost vigilance of interpreter. The interpreter often has to interpret simultaneously without any equipment, because speaking parties use to forget about keeping breaks. Also, interpreter’s moral responsibility is emphasized.

Our interpreters have carried out excellent interpretations at a number of courts across Finland. We do manage the extensive judicial terminology. We are also experienced in interpreting interrogations for the law enforcement authorities. We are offering you professional judicial interpretation – contact us!

Community Interpretation

Community interpretation means facilitating the communication between authorities and their immigrant or refugee clients. Usually the interpretation is consecutive. Topics and situations might be very complicated and require mental endurance and sophisticated and ethically appropriate behavior.

We have years of experience in community interpretation in Finland.

We also offer telephone interpretation. We can also arrange telephone conference between multiple parties.
