Interpreting services.
MB Translation & Interpreting provides consecutive, simultaneous, liaison and whispered interpreting services. We also provide guidance on the different interpretation equipment available, the language combination and the type of interpretation required to meet your specific needs.
Simultaneous interpreting
Simultaneous interpreting is an intensive task which entails the processing of large amounts of information from one language into another. It is commonly used in multilingual meetings. The speech is interpreted simultaneously, thus saving time and allowing attendees to participate actively in their native languages.
Consecutive interpreting
In this interpretation mode, the interpreter seats at the conference table with the delegates. They listen to the person speaking in the source language and deliver the message in the target language when the speaker has finished speaking. Consecutive interpreting is recommended when simultaneous interpreting in a booth is not possible.
Liaison interpreting
This interpretation mode is used to facilitate dialogue between parties speaking different languages. These parties could be one person, two people, a small group or two small groups.
Whispered interpreting
Whispered interpreting is a type of simultaneous interpretation in which the interpreter “whispers” to the client(s). No equipment is required. This interpretation mode works well with a small number of participants (one or two people). It is usually complemented with consecutive interpreting when the recipients of the whispered interpreting wish to take the floor in their own language.
