Interpretations

In general terms, oral translation is called interpretation. Noraktrad has specialized interpreters with a perfect command of both languages, as well as the cultural context of the languages covered in the service.

Simultaneous interpretation (booth interpretation)

One or several speakers give an international speech, conference, etc. before a large audience that simultaneously listens to the translation without the speaker stopping.

Consecutive interpretation

Performed when the speaker stops to allow what he/she has said to be translated before continuing: press conferences, product presentations, etc.

Bilateral or liaison interpretation

Similar to consecutive, but the interpreter translates short interventions of the speakers equally into one language or the other: business meetings, company visits, etc.

Chuchotage

The interpreter is positioned beside a small audience belonging to the target language whilst whispering a simultaneous interpretation of the matter being dealt with. Chuchotage is used where most of the group speak the source language and only a minority do not.

Sworn interpretation

Necessary when the interpretation must have an official character, i.e. when the translation of the interventions must have identical legal effects in the target language.
