Interpretation

AT&I offers several types of interpretation services, both on location and remotely. Our interpretation services are tailored to your specific requirements. We will advise you on which type of interpreter will suit you best.
Interpreting is an incredibly complex profession. Taking the spoken word and rendering it in another language instantaneously is a taxing affair, putting enormous pressure on interpreters to match a speaker’s tonal and emotional register, without resorting to dictionaries and glossaries.

Event organisers of all kinds have long struggled over the question of how best to make conversations work across languages. Is it best to give an interpreter the chance to repeat each statement as they go, or should they be asked to interpret simultaneously as the respective parties speak? The answer, of course, is that different approaches suit different problems. The interpreting needs of the African Union are a long way removed from those of a mining industry conference.
