Our interpreting services

Alima Traduction offers you interpreting services in Russian, French or English languages

• Liaison interpreting: As the name suggests, the liaison interpreter’s role is to act as a liaison between two parties that don’t speak the same language. The speaker(s) have to stop to give the interpreter time to translate the content of the conversation. This technique is commonly used at business or training meetings.

​

• Consecutive interpreting: The consecutive interpreter’s role is similar to that of the liaison interpreter. He sits near the speakers, follows the content of the conversation, takes summary notes and uses these to provide a summary translation of the content of the conversation. This type of interpreting is very much on the decrease as it is being replaced by simultaneous interpreting. This service is very similar to liaison interpreting, but is more expensive.

​

• Whispered interpreting: The whispering interpreter sits or stands among the group and simultaneously interprets directly into the ear of the participants. This is only suitable for small groups of people sitting or standing close together and speaking the same language. It is not recommended for more than two or three people.

​

• Telephone interpreting : The telephone interpreter provides interpreting by telephone. The idea is simple: The service provider sets up a telephone conference by telephone or Skype, for example, between two or more people who don’t speak the same language, and places a liaison interpreter between them who will translate the conversation bit by bit. The service is the same as liaison interpreting, except that the speakers are not physically present.
