What is interpretation, and how is it different from translation?

Interpretation converts spoken language in real time, while translation converts written text. An interpreter listens to a speaker in one language and delivers the same message in another, keeping the meaning, tone and intent. Because there is no time to look things up, interpreters need excellent command of both languages, strong subject knowledge and careful preparation before each assignment. If you also need documents translated for the same meeting or event, see our document translation service.

Escort interpretationThe interpreter accompanies your team in VietnamBusiness trips, negotiations, site visits

Which interpreting mode should you choose?

  • Large audience, tight schedule: simultaneous interpretation keeps the event running without pauses, but it needs booths, headsets and normally a team of two interpreters who take turns.
  • Meetings and negotiations: consecutive interpretation needs no equipment and gives both sides time to think, at the cost of a longer meeting.
  • Visits, trips and factory tours: escort interpretation gives you an interpreter at your side throughout the day.
  • Participants in different locations: online interpretation works on common video conferencing platforms.

How do you book an interpreter with EliteTrans?

  1. Send the details: date, time, location or platform, interpreting mode, subject and number of participants.
  2. Receive a quote: we confirm availability and send a free, no-obligation quote.
  3. Share preparation materials: agendas, presentations, speaker names and glossaries help the interpreter prepare terminology in advance.
  4. Briefing: for technical or high-level meetings, a short briefing with your team is recommended.
  5. The assignment: the interpreter arrives early or logs in ahead of time to check sound and setup.

How can you get the best results from your interpreter?

  • Share materials as early as possible, especially presentations, technical terms, names and acronyms.
  • Speak clearly and at a steady pace, and pause at natural points in consecutive mode.
  • For simultaneous interpretation, make sure the sound system and booths are tested before the event.
  • Plan breaks: interpreting is demanding, and long sessions need a team or regular pauses.

Frequently asked questions about interpretation services

What is the difference between simultaneous and consecutive interpreting?

In simultaneous interpreting, the interpreter speaks at the same time as the speaker, usually from a booth with headsets, which suits conferences. In consecutive interpreting, the speaker pauses after each segment so the interpreter can render it, which suits meetings and small groups.

What are the three types of interpreting?

The three most commonly cited modes are simultaneous, consecutive and whispered (chuchotage) interpreting. Services such as escort, liaison and remote interpreting use these modes in different settings.

How much does an interpreter cost for an hour?

The cost depends on the type of interpreting, the subject matter, the duration and location of the assignment, and whether equipment is needed. Contact EliteTrans for a free, no-obligation quote.
