Interpreting
“Human communication goes beyond words. Our gestures, facial expressions, intonation and body language give words their true meaning.
A professional interpreter is able to interpret this complex interplay."
Kristina Seuling
Professional interpreting
For demanding applications.
Interpreting is far more than the translation of words. It requires specialist knowledge, linguistic skills, and cultural sensitivity. Professional interpreters are able to accurately and contextually convey complex messages, such as wordplay, irony, or sarcasm, into the target language – a skill that artificial intelligence (AI) still lacks. Experienced interpreters are indispensable, especially in sensitive or security-critical contexts.
Types of interpreting
Depending on the type and purpose of your event, I offer the interpreting method best suited to your needs:
Simultaneous interpreting for conferences and events
Simultaneous interpreting takes place almost in real-time with the speaker. This method is commonly used at international conferences, presentations, and panel discussions to ensure smooth communication in real-time. Known as the "gold standard" of interpreting, it demands exceptional concentration, flexibility, and cultural awareness.
Consecutive interpreting for formal events, smaller conferences, and court hearings
In consecutive interpreting, the interpreter conveys longer sections of speech after the speaker has finished. This method is ideal for formal occasions, such as keynote speeches, banquets, or court hearings, where personal engagement and accuracy are essential. With my unique note-taking technique, I ensure that your messages are conveyed accurately and comprehensively.
Liaison and negotiation interpreting
This flexible form of interpreting is perfect for smaller meetings, negotiations, or legal discussions. Short sections of dialogue are interpreted alternately in both directions—without the need for technical equipment. Drawing on my experience in international sales, I foster a productive atmosphere and facilitate effective communication between all parties.
