Find a reliable interpreter for your workshop, training, conference event
Tips for finding a conference interpreter
Conference interpreting is a narrow field of specialisation which requires years of study and practice.
Did you know that: Not every translator is a conference interpreter offering simultaneous or consecutive interpreting. It takes a different set of skills than those needed for text translation, audiovisual or sworn translation to be an interpreter.
You need to hire experts in interpreting speech and not experts in translating text for your conference, lecture and workshop!
Are you looking for an expert interpreter? Things to consider:
- the candidate’s experience in conference interpreting
- recommendations
- interpreting studies
- a degree in a particular field (many interpreters also have a degree in economics, technical or political sciences)
- professional credentials
- EU accreditation
- experience in interpreting events on a similar theme
