Types of Interpretation Services Offered

LATN offers consecutive and simultaneous interpreters both onsite and offsite to its clients, each with advantages that makes them appropriate for specific audiences and objectives. Clients are always provided with the necessary information and knowledge by LATN’s staff to help them determine which kind of interpretation would best suit their needs.

On-site

Consecutive interpretations are recommended for small meetings, such as negotiations, interviews, depositions, court hearings or medical appointments. In a consecutive interpretation the speaker pauses after two or three sentences or phrases, then allowing the interpreter to interpret the few sentences just spoken.

Simultaneous interpretations are used mostly for presentations, speeches, conferences and demonstrations, or other cases when a speaker cannot be interrupted. In a simultaneous interpretation, the speaker’s voice is interpreted at the same time they speak. This type of interpretation normally requires the use of wireless interpreting equipment.

Off-site

Phone Interpretations are the most immediate form of interpretation. This type of interpretation is performed via a 3-way conference call between the interpreter and two other parties. Phone Interpretations are generally used for short conversations, and are a very timely and effective way to carry out urgent communication needs.
