Teresa López González. Traductora e Intérprete

“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.” Nelson Mandela

Professional interpreters bridge the gap between languages and cultures. They enable both speakers and participants at meetings and other events, to fully demonstrate their knowledge and expertise in their native language, while minimising the potential for misunderstandings. This allows them to express what they want as opposed to simply what
their language skills permit, and projects a professional image of both themselves and their business.

Interpreting

Interpreting is a verbal form of translation used for business meetings, conferences, trade shows and other international events.

An interpreter’s job is to verbally translate the words of a foreign language speaker. They must put themselves in the speaker’s shoes in order to faithfully replicate the original source language message, tone and register. 

It is a process which demands technique, as well as certain linguistic and cognitive skills. 

Interpreters are also required to adequately prepare themselves for each and every assignment. This involves studying terminology and familiarising themselves with the specific subject matter. 

It is vital for interpreters to:

  • Maintain professional confidentiality
  • Remain impartial
  • Convey meaning accurately
  • Exercise discretion.

Interpreting takes on various forms depending on the context

Simultaneous

Translation from one language to another in real time. It is commonly used at events including conferences, congresses and seminars. It is also a popular option at European Works Councils and other large meetings. It requires the use of soundproof booths fitted with sound equipment. Simultaneous interpreters work in pairs due to the intense levels of concentration required.

Consecutive

The interpreter actively listens to a source language speaker while taking notes. They then reproduce what the speaker has said for the target language audience in intervals of up to five minutes. It is best suited to shorter events, such as product presentations, guided tours, official speeches and press conferences.

Liaison

This is also known as bilateral interpreting since the interpreter often translates brief exchanges of dialogue back and forth between two languages. It is most commonly used during business meetings, interviews and other events involving minimal interlocutors.

I can also provide:

  • Technical equipment: portable booths, receivers, tour guide systems, etc.
  • And offer remote simultaneous interpreting via a virtual platform.

 

Different situations require different interpreting format. Get in touch to discuss the best interpreting solution for you.

Teresa worked at the International Wine Tourism Fair. Her role was to interpret in B2B meetings with international tour operators and wineries. She showed proactiveness and interest in the sector to better do her job and she is a pleasure to collaborate with. It was just 2 days but it felt like she was part of our team. Congratulations!
