Conferences

Yvette interpreting at a conference.

If you have a conference where you will have Limited- or Non-English Speakers in attendance or as guest presenters, Bilingual Citizen will be glad to coordinate the interpretation and translation services for you.  This will include providing highly qualified conference interpreters, interpretation booths, equipment, and headsets for the audience.

What is simultaneous interpretation?
Simultaneous interpretation is the most common mode of interpretation used in conference settings.   In this mode of interpretation, a team of two interpreters (usually in a booth) orally translates the presentations while the audience listens through headsets.

What is consecutive interpretation?
Consecutive interpretation is typically used in small meetings, legal depositions, interviews and other encounters involving a relatively small number of people.  In this mode the interpreter waits until a speaker has finished an utterance, then proceeds to interpret.  The speaker waits for the interpreter to finish rendering the interpretation before proceeding.  This is common in a question-and-answer setting, such as on the witness stand in a courtroom, where the dialogue goes back and forth between languages.
