Interpreting during business trips

Interpreting during business trips is a type of interpretation where the interpreter accompanies you throughout your business trip and assists you to communicate with business partners during formal and informal meetings, negotiations and training sessions. The interpreter also mediates in efforts to coordinate different organisational issues, assists in talking over the phone, arranges meetings, and translates necessary documents, such as informational and training materials. When ordering an interpreter for a business trip, one must consider the following:

• Interpreting during a business trip requires an experienced, qualified and versatile interpreter, who is able to translate both formal and informal speech
• The translation bureau must guarantee confidentiality
• Having an interpreter accompany you during a business trip will guarantee that you will be able to communicate effectively and be understood by your colleagues
