Language Interpretation Services

Our Interpretation Services ensure that you can focus on the content of the discussion, not on picking the right word in a foreign language. Our Interpreters come with many years of Interpretation Experience and also understand the intercultural challanges of international business. The list below provides more insights about the different types of Interpretation.

If you want to have a short overview in a summary video, scroll down.

Consecutive Interpretation

Our interpreter listens to a section of speech then either summarises it or relays the gist. This type of interpretation service is more useful for one-to-one meetings and small groups.

Simultaneous Interpretation

This type of interpretation service is used more in conventions and tele/video conferences. Simultaneous Interpretation Equipment (Interpreter booths, interpreter consoles, interpreter microphones) are usually required for simultaneous interpretation service.

Liaison Interpretation

Form of consecutive interpretation, Liaison Interpretation is used mainly to mediate between two or more people who do not speak the same language on a more informal and personal basis.

Whispered Interpretation

The interpreter sits or stands next to the target-language audience whilst whispering a simultaneous interpretation of the message in question.

Remote Interpretation

Remote interpretation is the verbal translation between one or multiple people, taking place through video or audio conferencing, often with the help of specially designed remote interpretation platforms. Ad-hoc, as well as pre-scheduled consecutive (CI) and/or simultaneous Interpretation (SI), can be arranged remotely. Globibo provides remote Interpretation service for both CI and SI.

If you are interested in Interpretation as a Linguist or want to sharpen your skills, check out our Simultaneous Interpretation Development Program. The program helps Linguist to practice in a professional but secure environment and test their skills.
