Interpreting services: Frequently asked questions
What is interpreting and how does it differ from translation?
Interpreting involves verbally converting spoken language from one language to another in real time, whereas translation focuses on written text. Interpreting enables live, instant communication in multilingual settings like meetings or conferences. RWS provides skilled interpreters who ensure accurate, clear and culturally sensitive communication, enabling effective global conversations.
What are the different types of interpreting services?
The primary interpreting methods include simultaneous interpreting (real-time translation during speech), consecutive interpreting (translation provided after short segments of speech) and over-the-phone interpreting (OPI). RWS offers all these interpreting services, both remotely and on-site, tailoring our approach specifically to your event, audience and logistical requirements.
How do simultaneous and consecutive interpreting differ?
Simultaneous interpreting provides immediate translation as the speaker talks, ideal for conferences, broadcasts and large meetings. Consecutive interpreting involves the interpreter translating after the speaker pauses, suitable for smaller meetings, interviews, or legal proceedings. RWS experts help select the best interpreting method based on your event size, context and setting.
When should I use remote vs. on-site interpreting?
Remote interpreting, via phone or video, is convenient for virtual meetings, webinars, or situations where participants are geographically dispersed. On-site interpreting suits complex interactions, large-scale events, or when personal presence enhances communication effectiveness. RWS offers both remote and on-site interpreting, guiding you to select the right approach based on your specific needs.
What industries benefit most from professional interpreting?
Industries including healthcare, legal, government, finance, technology, pharmaceuticals, corporate training and global businesses significantly benefit from interpreting services. Accurate interpreting ensures compliance, clear communication and cultural sensitivity in high-stakes environments. RWS specializes in delivering precise, industry-specific interpreting tailored to diverse global sectors.
How does RWS ensure interpreting quality and accuracy?
