What Dialogue interpreting is

Dialogue interpreting is the translation technique used during meetings or business trips, company visits, foreign delegation visits to facilities and trade fairs. When interpreting negotiations, no technical aids are required: only the physical presence of the interpreter, who acts as an intermediary between interlocutors speaking different languages.

What Consecutive interpreting is

Consecutive interpretation consists of the oral restitution, at the end of a speech or part of it, employing a particular note taking technique.

What Simultaneous Interpreting is

Simultaneous interpretation involves the use of individual soundproof booths where the professional listens to the speaker’s speech and simultaneously reproduces it in the target language.
