The modern world is essentially characterised by globalisation and digital technology, with the expansion of the Internet in particular. These are generating a new need for us all: the need to communicate in several languages to overcome barriers. Multilingual communication is an interdisciplinary skill, drawing on language, culture, communication and technology. New professions are thus playing a key role in connecting the whole world despite linguistic and cultural barriers; the role of interpreter is key. Swisstranslate is your trusted professional interpreting agency. Consecutive and simultaneous interpreting, online interpreting, on-site interpreting, chuchotage: we provide individuals, businesses and organisations with high-quality interpreting services tailored to their specific needs.
The different types of interpreting: choose the method that suits your needs
Multilingual communication needs are highly varied and specific to each individual or company. To best adapt to your requirements and your situation, Swisstranslate offers various interpreting services:
- Simultaneous interpreting: the interpreter translates during the speaker’s delivery. The message is the fruit of the moment, direct and immediate. The interpreter hears the speech through headphones while simultaneously translating orally into a microphon. Simultaneous interpreting is suitable for large multilingual events, conferences and visits. It requires two interpreters to take turns during the assignment, as it requires a great deal of concentration. It is an idustry norm that the interpreters take turns every twenty minutes to guarantee high-quality interpreting. This type of interpreting is usually conducted with equipment: a microphone, headphones and soundproof interpreting booth. Our agency can provide you with the technical elements for all types of services and configurations.
- Consecutive interpreting: the speaker speaks first, and only then does the interpreter translate the passage in question into his or her target language. The expert interprets the speech after the speaker has finished. This type of interpreting is commonly used for meetings, seminars, business negotiations or visits. There are no microphones, headphones or interpreting booths in this case.
- Chuchotage: this is the ideal method for one-to-one interactions or within a small group. It is a variant of simultaneous translation, carried out without any technical devices. The interpreter follows the proceedings live, and translates by whispering in the ear of the person he or she is assisting.
With the emergence of teleworking, our interpreting services have evolved. We are now able to offer you the following assignments:
- On-site: the interpreter’s physical presence is essential to you, at general meetings, appointments at the notary’s office, seminars, etc. Our interpreters will go wherever you wish, and will be present among the various speakers. They will then provide consecutive or simultaneous interpreting, depending on what has been agreed in advance.
- Online: this consists of putting several participants in touch with each other using videoconferencing software. Software such as zoom or teams offer interpretation services. The meeting organiser assigns an interpreter and the participants connect directly to the language they wish to hear. Online interpreting offers two major advantages: lower costs and shorter turnaround times, both of which are linked to the fact that the interpreter does not have to travel to provide the service. This method is very useful for meetings between speakers in different locations, or between several affiliates.

Case studies and customer experiences: the success of interpreting
As trade and commercial relations become increasingly globalised, we value the proximity provided by a message that is delivered instantly in your language. As a result, many individuals and companies call on interpreting services for meetings, events, conferences, business negotiations or multilingual interactions of all kinds. Interpreters then work to ensure that any multilingual meeting takes place as if everyone spoke the same language, with the language barrier eliminated. The diplomatic corps, international organisations, courts and the audiovisual media also make use of interpreters. The ability to communicate for people who do not share the same language is an essential condition for functioning international institutions, so that everyone can express themselves despite linguistic differences. The European Court of Justiceand theInternational Criminal Court also use interpreters charged with ensuring that the rights of witnesses and defendants are respected. Whether for the investigation of cases or for hearings, the expert-interpreter thus enables everyone to understand the proceedings and communicate.
