What is Interpreting?

Spoken translation, on-site translation, conference translation or simultaneous translation are terms often used when referring to interpretation. Interpretation is a spoken translation between two languages in conversations between two or more people.

The interpreter's job is to communicate a message effectively, quickly and accurately. The interpreter is neutral and bound by a confidentiality agreement. He or she is a language-cultural communicator who can provide you with useful information about a foreign country and culture. Interpreters are highly skilled individuals, often working under enormous pressure.
