Face-to-Face Interpreting

Face-to-face interpreting is when the interpreter is physically present during the conversation to enable real-time communication.

For example, an interpreter being on-site for a meeting, event or medical appointment.

Face-to-face interpreting allows for more natural, fluid communication. It’s easier for parties involved to read body language, manage sensitive topics and build trust

In-person support also helps reduce misunderstandings in environments where accuracy is critical.

Remote interpreting is highly effective and is a service we can offer.

However, in-person interpreting is better suited to:

• When participants have limited access to technology, especially video conferencing tools
• In environments where trust and accurate communication is key, like a high-stake business meeting
• When visual cues and tone are essential for understanding

We offer both consecutive and simultaneous interpreting in-person, depending on your needs.

Additionally, both spoken and signed language interpreting can be delivered in-person.

We support interpreting in 220+ language pairs, including major global languages and many rare dialects.

If you have a specific language requirement, get in touch so we can help you find the right fit.

We do recommend booking face-to-face interpreting in advance, if possible.

This allows us to match you with the best-qualified interpreter for your target language pairs, and also ensure availability for your preferred date, time and location.

If you have an urgent request, get in touch for us to accommodate.

Alternatively, consider our video remote interpreting solutions.

We assess qualifications, education, subject-matter expertise, experience, and whether the interpreter is registered with recognised bodies.

Yes, we’ll always aim to match you with a language interpreter who understands your sector and context. Whether you need someone with medical terminology knowledge or experience in legal proceedings, we’ll tailor the booking to your needs.
