What exactly does an interpreter do?
An interpreter translates spoken language into another language in real time, precisely and appropriately for the situation, without any detours. This makes international communication possible without any delays, misunderstandings or language barriers. Whether on stage, in the audience, behind the scenes or in personal conversations: speeches, discussions and individual conversations are made possible even if not everyone speaks the same language. A good interpreter not only translates words, but also conveys mood and emotion, often supported by facial expressions and gestures.
This is why interpreters are worth their weight in gold at your event
If you are also receiving guests at your event who do not speak the event language, you should schedule an interpreter for each of these languages. They will ensure that everyone understands what is being said - clearly, correctly and without misunderstandings. This enables smooth communication and gives everyone the feeling that they are really part of the event. Your guests feel valued and your message comes across correctly and effectively, regardless of the language.
What to look out for when booking
Language pairing: The interpreter should be proficient in both the source and target languages. Also pay attention to the linguistic experience: how long has the person spoken the respective languages or is it possibly even a native language?
Professionalism: If possible, make sure to book a sworn interpreter. Sworn interpreters work professionally, are legally certified and guarantee a correct and reliable translation.
Number: Consider in advance how many different languages your event needs to be translated into, as an interpreter can only translate one language at a time. Also consider whether several people need the same language and whether several whispered interpreters are required to sit directly next to the guests so that others are not disturbed. If a sign language interpreter is required, they can stand in front of the audience in a clearly visible position and translate for several people at the same time.
Cultural sensitivity: The interpreter should be sensitive to the culture of the languages in order to ensure respectful and appropriate communication.
Preparation: Provide the interpreter with information about the event and the topics in good time. This allows them to prepare better, also with regard to possible technical terms, and the translation is more precise.
Legal issues: Discuss with the interpreters or the team whether the translation may be recorded or transmitted.
Early planning: Look for interpreters for your event in good time to ensure that they are available on the date.
Flexibility: Make sure that the respective interpreters are adaptable should the programme for your event change at short notice.
Contracts: Create a contract with the interpreter to set out all the terms and conditions.
