Interpreting
NO MATTER THE LANGUAGE, EVERY WORD IS IMPORTANT. THIS IS WHY INTERPRETING IS THE KEY ELEMENT WHICH GUARANTEES THE SUCCESS OF A BUSINESS MEETING.
Interpreting is a job that involves a great deal of responsibility and requires not only high fluency in a foreign language but also fast orientation skills. This is the reason for putting this process in the hands of professionals.
Usually, interpretation services are related to personal or work-related circumstances. Natural persons often require them when planning events that will be attended by relatives, family members and friends that speak a different language. This service is also incredibly useful when traveling. When it comes to companies, interpreting services are usually used during meetings and conferences with foreign partners.
HOW ARE THE INTERPRETING SERVICES OFFERED BY SKRIVANEK BENEFICIAL?
- Our team consists of professional translators who have plenty of experience working at conferences and in judicial processes as well as at personal celebrations.

- We’re flexible and are always on the lookout for the best available option. It doesn’t matter if what you need is a fast translation or an option that involves multiple interpreters working simultaneously – we’re always ready to help you out.
When planning to use interpreting services, it’s important to choose the translation method that will be the most suitable for your needs. Consecutive and simultaneous interpreting are the most popular types of interpreting among our clients. In the case of the first, the interpreter translates a sentence or multiple sentences at a time while being present among the attendees or organizers of an event or conference. When simultaneous interpretation is being used, the interpreter works in a separate cabin. The majority of spoken translation services can be performed both in person and remotely.
CONSECUTIVE INTERPRETATION
The translator is in the same room with the people attending the meeting, hears them out and then interprets what they have said, using previously prepared notes. In this case, interpreting occurs in the same room and no individual cabins are required. The main advantage of this service is that the audience is able to intervene during active conversations and ask questions.
More information
There are two types of consecutive interpretation – short interpretation and one that takes longer. When the interpretation only takes a short amount of time it is done by translating phrases (2-3 sentences at a time). This type of interpretation is the best option for business negotiations, short-term stay, etc.
SIMULTANEOUS INTERPRETATION
The interpreter works in a closed cabin, and the audience can listen to the translation using headphones. The delay between the source language and the interpretation into the target language consists of only a few seconds. This service is usually used during international conferences that are attended by a large number of people or in multilingual meetings. This service is the most relevant to companies.
More information
Simultaneous interpretation is usually performed by two translators. Only on rare occasions does one individual carry out an interpretation. Translators are placed in a closed-off cabin and can see the lecturer and the audience through glass. The lecturers speak into a microphone and the translators hear them through their headphones and simultaneously translate what they hear into their own microphones. All the audience has to do to listen to the translation in their chosen language is to put on their headphones and tune into the right channel. These are the key principles of the process of simultaneous interpretation.
Simultaneous interpretation calls for immense concentration, great memorization skills and the ability to react quickly. Due to this, the interpreters in the cabin take turns every 10 to 30 minutes.
We’ll be glad to provide you with all the necessary equipment or to put you in contact with our business partners.
REMOTE INTERPRETATION
We offer remote interpretation (via Zoom, Skype, Microsoft Teams, etc.) for business meetings, juridical processes, conferences, seminars, courses and other kinds of events.
More information
Our interpreters are not only highly qualified but have gained significant experience over the years. This allows them to analyse specific situations and contexts and to react to them appropriately.
COURT INTERPRETATION
Court interpretation is performed in the courtroom or in other institutions related to the law. The content in one language is converted to another language, and the translator uses a variety of methods, including simultaneous, consecutive and whispered translation.
More information
The translators interpreting in areas related to the law are experts who usually work in collaboration with court case lawyers. They interpret during the judicial investigation process, witness testimonies, in testifying, during mediation and arbitration processes, meetings with clients, etc. The interpreters that specialize in this area work in police stations (during interrogations or after someone has been detained) or in administrative institutions (e.g. when performing customs inspections).
