Remote Telecon and Video Interpreting
Remote teleconferencing is commonly used for meetings and discussions. Aplomb provides interpreting for calls whereby the interpreter attends remotely. Sometimes the interpreter attends at an office in person to provide interpreting for one individual party on the teleconference or video meeting. It is now usual for the interpreter to be included from a remote site. The interpreter’s voice can be enabled for all or just selected meeting participants to hear as required.
Video interpreting is used for court hearings, witness statements, strategy planning and testimony. Aplomb is able to assist with interpreting for all digital scenarios.

Simultaneous Interpreting
This is the most difficult style of interpreting. Interpreters listen and translate at the same time, enabling multi-national conference delegates, for example, to understand another delegate’s speech as it takes place. Simultaneous interpreting requires highly skilled interpreters and special equipment (booths, earphones).
Used for International Summits, Professional Seminars and Conferences, and sometimes referred to as Conference interpreting, it is provided by professionally trained experienced interpreters where seamless multilingual communication is crucial. Aplomb can assist with all necessary arrangements for your interpreting events.
Whispering Interpreting
Whispered interpreting (chuchotage) is when one participant speaks, and simultaneously, an interpreter speaks to one or maximum two people who require interpreting services. This is simultaneous interpreting provided without the need for any specialised equipment or interpreting booths.
It is often used in a meeting environment. The translation is rendered in real time and so the interpreting does not extend the length of the event, in contrast to consecutive interpreting which doubles the time of each event being interpreted.
Ad-hoc Interpreting
Ad-hoc interpreting or liaison interpreting is used for Conference Calls, Meetings, Mediations, Negotiations, etc. The interpreter will generally interpret both into and out of the client’s ‘target’ language, using either consecutive interpreting or, on occassion, if they are working for only one or two people at the meeting, they may be asked to simultaneous interpreting for smaller meetings circumstances. Using consecutive interpreting, the interpreter will interpret for the small group of participants at a pause during the speech of each participant. Simultaneous interpreting is when the interpreter uses whispering interpreting to interpret for one or two people at the same time as the speaker is speaking.
At Aplomb, we take Ad-hoc to a higher level by ensuring our linguists have appropriate technical subject matter expertise in the language pairs requested.
Consecutive Interpreting
Interpreters translate or summarise after short sections of a discussion. The interpreter listens to the speaker, takes short notes and then interprets what has been said in the target language of the audience. This sort of interpreting is appropriate for one-to-one meetings or small groups. In some situations such as negotiations and mediations, the interpreter may be required to translate both into and our of the target language.
Aplomb’s professional linguists are specially selected according to subject sector expertise within the languages pairs required to ensure accurate technical knowledge specific to the event topic.
Choosing the correct professional interpreter guarantees your words are accurately translated into successful business.
