Interpreting Services
What is Interpreting?
Interpreting is the real-time conversion of spoken or signed language into another language. It happens live, either in-person or remotely, ensuring seamless communication across different languages and cultures.
Unlike translation—which deals with written text—interpreting is a spoken or signed process that requires immediate accuracy, cultural nuance, and linguistic expertise.
Types of Interpreting Services
🟢 Spoken Language Interpreting
📍 For conferences, business meetings, legal proceedings, healthcare, and international communication.
💡 Example Request:
🔹 “I need a simultaneous interpreter for an international conference with speakers in French, Spanish, and Mandarin.”
🟢 “I can arrange simultaneous interpreters with headsets for multilingual support. Do you need on-site or remote services?”
✅ Simultaneous Interpreting – Used in conferences, international events, and large-scale meetings where the interpreter translates in real time while the speaker continues speaking.
✅ Consecutive Interpreting – Used in legal proceedings, medical settings, and business meetings, where the speaker pauses to allow the interpreter to relay their message.
✅ Escort/Travel Interpreting – Ideal for business delegations, tourism, and international negotiations, where the interpreter assists with on-the-go, informal communication.

🟢 Signed Language Interpreting
📍 For Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing, and DeafBlind individuals needing professional sign language services.
💡 Example Request:
🔹 “I need an ASL interpreter for a corporate training event with Deaf employees.”
🟢 “You’ll need a team of two ASL interpreters to cover the full session. Would you like additional services like CART captioning?”
✅ ASL Interpreting (American Sign Language) – Certified interpreters relay spoken English into ASL and vice versa for Deaf and hearing individuals.
✅ International Sign (IS) Interpreting – Used for global Deaf communities where no single signed language dominates.
✅ Tactile & Pro-Tactile Interpreting – Specializing in DeafBlind communication, adapting ASL into touch-based methods for full accessibility.

Interpreting vs. Translating: Understanding the Difference
🚫 There is no such thing as a “sign language translator.”
✅ Sign language is always interpreted—because it is a real-time, visual language that does not have a written equivalent.
| Feature | Interpreting | Translating |
|---|---|---|
| Mode of Communication | Spoken/Signed Language | Written Text |
| Speed | Real-time | Requires time for accuracy |
| Used in | Live events, conversations | Documents, websites, books |
| Accuracy | Immediate, relies on context | Requires research, precise wording |
