Interpreting

Correct Language Centre provides top-quality interpreting services both in Brno/Prague and all over the Czech Republic. Interpreting (oral transmission of information between languages) is ideal for overcoming language and cultural barriers.
We supply both individual interpreters and teams of interpreters for the following types of interpreting:

Consecutive interpreting

Consecutive interpreting is when the speaker talks for a few moments, while the interpreter takes notes. When the speaker stops, the translator then translates what the speaker said into a different language. Consecutive interpreting is ideal for smaller events with a limited number of attendees, e.g. business meetings, seminars, lectures, workshops, etc.

Simultaneous interpreting

For simultaneous interpreting, the interpreter(s) listens to the speaker and interprets at the same time without requiring the speaker to stop. Simultaneous interpreters work mostly in groups and use equipment, e.g. booths, headsets, microphones. Simultaneous interpreting is mostly used for large meetings and conferences.

Court interpreting

Court interpreting can be either consecutive or simultaneous and is done by official/certified/court interpreters (= soudní tlumočníci). These special interpreters have been approved and authorized to use this title by the Ministry of Justice. Court interpreting is necessary in certain official settings, such as visits to the immigration office (= cizinecká policie in Brno, Praha etc.) or municipal authority (Magistrát města Brna, Magistrát hlavního města Prahy etc.) or when you get married.

Escort interpreting

Escort interpreting is a special kind of consecutive interpreting in which an interpreter accompanies you to meetings with your visiting guests/business partners from foreign countries. Escort interpreting can be effective for business lunches, city tours, or short-term negotiations and follow-up programmes. Escort interpreting is most known for its rather informal character, creating a friendly atmosphere between you and your visitors.

Over-the-phone interpreting

Over-the-phone interpreting is used for conversations led via phone or Skype, not in person. The interpreter might be present during Skype or conferences calls, and uses consecutive interpreting.

Interpreting equipment

If you're interested in simultaneous interpreting, you're going to need some equipment:

• booths (a booth per language)
• headsets (for the audience)
• microphones
• sound systems, etc.

Keep in mind

• We provide interpreting both in the Czech Republic and abroad – travel costs will be included in your price quote.
• Installing and then disassembling the interpreting equipment takes approx. 2 hours/each, so make sure you schedule your event accordingly.
• For events lasting longer than one day or in remote areas, accommodations must be provided for the the audio technician.
