Interpreting Service

Language interpreters are professionals capable of simultaneously translating in different events or situations, enabling non-speakers of the language to fully understand what is happening.

A professional who provides interpreting services is called an interpreter, and his or her goal is to ensure that a person's speech is conveyed in full and in real time so listeners fully understand of what is being said.

Interpreting services are ideal for a variety of contexts where simultaneous translation is required.

Legal interpreters work in court hearings, and take testimony in court or by phone, videoconferences, and interviews. Legal Interpreting can happen simultaneously or consecutively (in the latter case, when pre-recorded evidence is being played and the interpreter translates the content for the professionals or jurors who are present).

The main role of the legal professional who provides interpreting services is to faithfully translate the speech being delivered by the parties to the hearing. Thus, the court hearing is based on a correct interpretation of the words that were said in the original language, and not on a distorted translation of the initial message.

The translation of testimonials and speeches will later be used for Legal Transcription. Therefore, it is crucial that the translation is carried out by a professional who can provide perfect interpreting services, since Legal Transcription carries the weight of material evidence.

Whether it is in corporate meetings, videoconferences, calls or negotiations, the interpreter who specialises in simultaneous translation in a corporate environment facilitates communication between parts of a company, breaking down language barriers.

The interpreter is a link between those present at the meeting at every step, maintaining the intention of speech and its meaning, in order to guarantee the best possible outcome for the meeting, without losses or distortions due to linguistic adjustments.

Medical interpreters (those who specialise in interpreting services for health-related matters) provide simultaneous translation services for patients who do not speak the language of the healthcare professional who is helping them.

Here, the role of these interpreting professionals is to serve as a communication channel between the parties, translating information orally into the patient's native language, and adapting the terminology of what is said, in order to make the message clearer. Medical interpreters also prevent cultural misunderstandings between healthcare professionals and patients.

During a guided tour, interpreting services can be used very successfully, too. This ensures that visitors have a full understanding of what the professional tour guide is saying. Interpreting services also help visitors to fully grasp the relevant cultural aspects brought out during the guided tour, despite any language barriers.
