Basic types of interpreting services Sierra Leone

• Sierra Leone whispering interpreting

Whispering interpreting is very similar to simultaneous interpreting, in that the interpreter will be relaying information to their client while a speaker is talking, however, it will be done in a hushed (or whisper) tone directly into the listeners ear. As such the interpreter is usually very close to the listener. Whispering interpretation requires intense concentration by the interpreter to hear every word spoken, and to provide an accurate rendition in the target language. Whispering interpreting is suitable for business meetings and negotiations, small group meetings or site visits (workshops, factories, facilities, etc.).

• Sierra Leone consecutive interpreting

Consecutive interpreting is where the interpreter is close to the speaker and interprets every after a few words or sentences. This is very suitable for smaller gatherings or meetings like birthdays or small conferences. Sometimes this is because there are not so many languages involved here. In fact it is possible that the entire audience understand one of the two languages used. This kind of translation is very common at religious gatherings. The problem here is that the main speaker has to always wait and give time to the interpreter to get done with interpreting what the former said before thus consuming almost double the time.

• Sierra Leone Liaison interpreting

Liaison interpreting involves interpreting directly as the conversation or dialogue goes on. It is meant to create and maintain a certain level of mutual understanding and is usually used for very small gatherings that involve a conversation like aspect. Problem here is that it is very easy for the interpreter to overshadow the main speaker. At the end of the day, an interpreter is a very important link in the communication process and should therefore be a professional one. This is to ensure accuracy when delivering the message to the audience in the form intended by the source of that very message.

• Sierra Leone Simultaneous interpreting

We offer professional simultaneous interpreting services to thousands of businesses. Simultaneous interpreting occurs when the interpreters sit in small sound isolation booths in the back of the conference room or in a remote setting and listen to the conference proceedings on headsets while simultaneously interpreting into a microphone. The interpretation is broadcast via a wireless system to the delegates who listen on small receivers with earphones. The receivers are multi-channel so the delegates can select the channel that corresponds to the language they wish to hear.
