Some of the most requested languages for interpreting are Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese, German, Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin), Korean, Arabic, Russian, and Italian.

Approved interpreters must hold national and internationally recognized accreditations in their interpretation mode and level of industry specialization. Accreditation requirements vary depending on the type of interpretation provided. Our recruitment team takes each applicant through a rigorous 5-stage recruitment process that includes interviews, skills testing, and compliance. Interpreters are subject to ongoing monitoring of their services, quarterly and annual evaluations and continuous improvement.
In the simultaneous mode of interpretation, the interpreter interprets what is said WHILE it is being said. Special equipment is required, including headphones and microphones for the interpreters, while audiences listen on their smartphone app or a radio headset, to name two examples. Soundproof booths or sound isolation may also be required, particularly if the interpreters work onsite at an in-person event. The interpreting takes place almost simultaneously with the speaker's speech, with a slight delay of just a few seconds.
In the consecutive mode of interpretation, the interpreter interprets what is said AFTER it is said. With consecutive interpreting, the interpreter interprets what is said in short sentences. A person speaks in their language and then stops after a few phrases in order to allow the interpreter to interpret. The interpreter then interprets what was said into another language. Consecutive interpretation is ideal for back-and-forth meetings and dialogue settings.
