Interpreting

Your interpreter is your partner.

Interpreting is not just about translating one language into another orally: it also involves speaking on someone else’s behalf. Our interpreters enable you to make yourself understood by your contact and, more importantly, to communicate with him or her.

Interpreting requires extremely specialised skills in both the languages involved, as well as the ability to translate very quickly.

5/5 offers interpreting solutions that are appropriate for different situations.

• Consecutive interpreting

While a person is speaking, the interpreter takes notes and reproduces the same words a few moments later in another language.

• Simultaneous interpreting

The interpreter translates what is taking place as it happens using a system of headphones and microphones.

• Liaison interpreting

During official visits or business meetings, the interpreter translates each verbal exchange between the speakers.
