Interpretations
EMS is committed to providing you and your clients with accurate and professional
interpretations. We offer only accredited and certified “native tongue” interpreters
who meet our stringent recruiting process. EMS works exclusively with full
time professionals who have a post-secondary education in both pair languages.
We
offer professional services for international congresses, conferences, colloquiums,
symposiums, seminars, foreign client visits, trade shows and other multilingual
meetings… A thorough examination of your event needs to
be done and, our team will determine what type of interpretation is best suited
for you and your client needs.
We will select qualified interpreters specialized
in the event theme, and presentation topics, as well as advise you on the most
adequate technical equipment.
Simultaneous Interpretations:
Simultaneous interpretations
are the most frequently used form for conference settings. The interpreter
speaks at the same time as the presenter, mostly through technical equipment
such as a soundproof booth, headsets, microphones… and
the interpretation(s) (target language(s)) reaches the attendees through headphones
with channels for the different languages.
Interpreters work in teams of two
and on 20 minutes shifts for each interpreter. The guidelines on team size,
established over many years of professional practice ensure optimal quality
in a highly demanding work environment.
Simultaneous Whispering:
Simultaneous whispering is usually performed in small business meetings with
a maximum of two attendees per interpreters and, it requires two interpreters
who work on 20 minutes shifts.
Consecutive Interpretation:
Consecutive interpretations are
usually performed in smaller settings than conferences, and it’s mostly
used at drafting committees, bilateral negotiations, interviews... etc. The
speaker will present a few sentences before pausing and, thereafter the interpreter
may render the interpretation into the target language.
