Using an Interpreter

What is interpreting?
Interpreting involves the transfer of meaning between the spoken or signed form of a language, as opposed to its written form, which is referred to as translation.

Why should I use the services of a professional interpreter?
Meetings or conferences with foreign language speakers could have far-reaching implications for an organisation, whether negotiating or gathering information. Your representatives in such a meeting must have a near-native command of their counterparts’ language if they are to communicate both sides of the argument effectively, including any nuances or subtleties. Unless you or colleagues have language skills at level 4 or 5 of the National Language Standards you are likely to need an interpreter.
