Interpreting services in Italian, English and French.

Contexts of use

• Conferences, conventions and congresses
• Shareholder and board meetings
• Training with an international audience
• Events with several languages in the room

How it works

The service takes place in a soundproof booth or, for groups on the move and rooms without equipment, with a tour-guide system. For sessions longer than two hours, two interpreters work together, alternating every 20-30 minutes.

Worth knowing: The event material (programme, slides, speaker names) must be sent in advance: it forms the basis of the preparation glossary.

Contexts of use

• Ceremonies, award presentations and official speeches
• Press conferences and interviews
• Presentations to small audiences
• Institutional visits

How it works

The note-taking technique allows even long speeches to be rendered faithfully in content and register. No equipment is required, apart from a microphone in large rooms.

Worth knowing: The duration of the speeches approximately doubles; this should be taken into account when defining the programme.

Contexts of use

• Commercial and contractual negotiations
• Audits, inspections and plant visits
• Confidential meetings between management teams
• Meetings with lawyers and consultants

How it works

It is the mode closest to direct dialogue. Where appropriate, the interpreter points out cultural differences that may affect mutual understanding.

Worth knowing: For technical meetings, a short preparatory session on the terminology of the sector is advisable.

Contexts of use

• Foreign delegates in single-language meetings
• Guided visits for small groups
• Hearings and sessions in which only one person does not speak the language
• Dinners and representative events

How it works

The interpreter sits next to or behind the listeners and translates in a low voice in real time. For more than two people or in noisy environments, a tour-guide system is used.

Worth knowing: Beyond one hour of continuous work, a second interpreter is required.

Contexts of use

• Video conferences with participants in several countries
• Webinars and hybrid events
• Short meetings for which travel is not justified
• Remote interviews and consultations

How it works

Workstation with professional headset, wired connection and backup line. A technical test with the organiser is carried out before the event.

Worth knowing: On Zoom, the interpreting function must be enabled by the organiser; configuration instructions are provided during preparation.
