PoliLingua’s Phone Interpreting Types

Telephone interpreting is a type of interpreting service that allows communication between individuals who speak different languages via telephone. Our company provides different types of on-call interpreter services.

Consecutive Telephone Interpreting - This type of on-call language service involves an interpreter translating a message after the speaker has finished speaking. The interpreter takes notes while the speaker talks and then delivers the message in the target language.
Simultaneous Telephone Interpreting - In this type of interpreting, the interpreter translates the message at the same time the speaker is taking it. This requires a high level of concentration and skill from the interpreter, who has to listen to the speaker and translate simultaneously.
Whispered Telephone Interpreting - Also known as "chuchotage," this type of on-call language service involves the on-call interpreter whispering the translation to the person who needs it. This type of interpreting is often used in situations where only one or two people need interpretation, such as in a meeting or small group discussion.
Conference Telephone Interpreting - This type of interpreting is used for large-scale events, such as conferences or webinars. Multiple interpreters work together to provide simultaneous interpretation for the audience.
Relay Telephone Interpreting - In this type of interpreting, a third-party phone interpreter is used to facilitate communication between two people who do not speak the same language. The interpreter listens to one party and translates the message to the second party, and vice versa.

Each type of telephone interpreting has its unique advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of which type to use will depend on the specific needs of the situation.
