Interpreting

Simultaneous interpreting: Interpreters working in groups of 2 (or 3) persons to translate speeches or to contribution to the target language in parallel with the speaker. They work in sound-proof booths, taking turns in several-minute intervals, and delegates listen to their interpreting via headphones. Simultaneous interpreting is particularly suitable for conferences, congresses, meetings and events with larger audiences.

Consecutive interpreting: The speaker stops after each sentence or a short section of speech. The interpreter listens, takes notes if necessary and then translates the entire statement. One interpreter is sometimes sufficient. He or she usually sits at the table or stands next to the speaker and speaks out loud to the audience. Headphones are not required. Consecutive interpreting is suitable for various meetings and negotiations, trainings, short speeches, videoconferences and generally wherever more interaction is required.

Whispered interpreting: "Chuchotage" in Franch. Simultaneous interpreting with no interpreting equipment. The interpreter sits or stands next to a small group of listeners and whispers what is being said. Whispered interpreting is suitable for events where only 1 to 3 listeners need interpreting.

Translations

Translation of various written documents, including reports, manuals, patent applications, specialised articles, web pages, software localisation, presentations, speeches, letters, tender documents, training materials, and more.

Translation formats
The most convenient format for translation is MS Word. Other frequently used formats include: MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, Adobe Acrobat, HTML, TXT, etc. We also accept hard copies and scanned or faxed documents. A wide range of other formats also available. After a consultation the best format is chosen. Translated documents always maintain the graphic layout of the original.

Upon request we can also deliver your translation as a bilingual document aor together with translation memories or terminology glossaries.

Assembling multilingual interpreter teams

If you are organizing an event with international participation requiring interpretation to a number of languages, we will assemble an interpreter team to match your needs, the topic and nature of the interpreting.

Responsibility for the entire interpreter function

PWe will coordinate and manage the entire interpreter function for you, including the selection of suitable interpreters and interpreting equipment, so that you can concentrate on the other aspects of organizing your event.

Large translation project management

To make the terminology consistent, ideally the translation project should be managed by a single translator. However, if this is not possible due to time constraints or sheer volume of the work, under certain circumstances it is possible to split the translation project among several translators and still deliver a translation the resulting quality of which is not compromised. We do not recommend this. But terminology consistency can be ensured by using special computer assisted translation (CAT) tools, consultations of translation team members and other measures.

Consultations

We will help you to identify your interpreting requirements for any event, advise on the most cost-effective solution and recommend reliable suppliers. We will also advise you what to consider when ordering a translation and how to translate extensive documents.

Testimonials and list of customers

Speaking in public

I have extensive experience with speaking in public – interpreting on stage, at press conferences, in TV, radio, etc.

Quality assurance

We have introduced and been using our own quality assurance system. It consists of a set of procedures that help me to achieve high consistency and quality of all translations and interpreting assignments.

When providing services to my customers I capitalise on my technical education and 13 years of experience as a freelance translator and interpreter.
Majority of interpreting assignments require a thorough study of the terminology, That is why I always ask customers to provide me with presentations and other documents for study in order to adequately prepare.
If more than one interpreter or translator is required, I use a team of equally well-established associates, always carefully selected based on the topic, nature of the assignment and customer requirements.
For translations I use the software support of special Trados CAT tools. TThese tools allow me to maintain terminology consistency and thus ensure the highest quality of the translation. Click here for more .
To achieve higher precision and clarity of the translation I use a vast number of reference sources - dictionaries, internet resources, and extensive topical glossaries collected over the time of my practice.
In case of complex translations I consult mopossible terminology ambiguities with the customer. If need be I take the benefit of my close and extensive contacts with highly experienced associates and various subject matter experts.
To be able to guarantee correctness and qualification of the translation and/or interpreting, I only accept work from fields not too distant from my expertise and education. This allows my customers to benefit from my experience in those fields. If you are looking for a translator/interpreter with a specific expertise I don’t possess, I will gladly recommend a fellow translator / interpreter with such an expertise.
All our Slovak translations are proofread and stylistically revised. Before you receive the translation it is always checked by two pairs of eyes resulting in a Slovak text that is smooth, flowing and free of errors.

The above procedures and measures ensure the highest standard and professionalism of translation.

Confidentiality

All information and documents provided by the customer or acquired during interpreting are considered strictly confidential. In case of special requirements I’m willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement with the client. I’m also certified by the National Security Authority of the SR to access classified information – Level Secret.
