When people with various linguistic backgrounds come together, they can of course try and get by in English. However, is their English really good enough?

Let’s be honest – not everyone’s English is good enough to understand everything said at international conferences and symposiums, at trade fairs, in court or during contract negotiations. The fine, often decisive nuances are frequently lost, as are specialist details.

Moreover, the problem is that many speakers can present their subject much more convincingly in their native language than in English. So how is your Spanish, Italian, Chinese?

You see: using an experienced interpreter is a sensible investment in situations where straightforward communication is essential to the success of an event. Orbis therefore offers you specialists with the best references in every field.

What kind of interpreter do you need?

It depends: what kind of event are you planning? How many people will be attending? For which languages do you need an interpreter? In any case, we need to consult with you so that we can recommend the right interpreter for you.

This is because the differences are considerable. The most important types of interpreter are:

Escort interpreters
Escort interpreters are mobile, working close to the “target person“, and accompany individuals or small groups at trade fairs, on tours or works visits and at negotiations and discussions. In the case of individual persons, the interpretation is performed simultaneously in whispers; for small groups, the interpretation is carried out consecutively.

We provide escort interpreters with comprehensive specialist knowledge and cultural competence for all common business languages.

Conference interpreters
Conference interpreters work at international seminars, symposiums and conferences providing a simultaneous translation of the event. This makes the spoken word instantly comprehensible to everyone involved – without interruptions or repetitions.

The essential requirement for top-quality interpreting is the absolute professionalism of the conference interpreter. We provide conference interpreters for all common business languages who have extensive experience, prepare carefully for every assignment and have a thorough knowledge of the terminology used in your field.

Court interpreters
Interpreting in court is a highly demanding task. Therefore you should only give the responsibility for correct oral translations to qualified professionals.

Our court interpreters fulfil these high requirement:; all are sworn and experienced in court proceedings. We have years of experience in working for regional and higher courts.
