The first thing I'll tell you is not to get upset, being stressed out doesn't fix things. So take a deep breath and pay attention to what I am going to explain in this blog.

No, it simply means that if you're looking for good value for money, Zoom is definitely the option you should choose . If you're wondering why, I'll explain briefly. Zoom not only offers the possibility of holding online meetings...

Zoom is currently the most well-known online conferencing platform on the market. It offers very advanced features for both monolingual and multilingual events, but it is still far from achieving perfection. With the accelerated process of digitalisation we are experiencing these days, increasingly sophisticated processes are emerging when it comes to scheduling online meetings and seminars. This...

But does interpreting also work in a digital format? The answer is yes. But for it to work, platforms that allow working with more than one language are required. In previous blogs, I have already talked about the most...

As you well know, the most widespread mode of interpreting (or oral translation) is currently remote interpreting (or remote oral translation). Basically, it consists of translating in oral form the speaker’s words at a conference, meeting, etc. Unlike what was seen in the past, everything happens entirely online with remote interpreting. You can already imagine that interpreting on-site at a...

Oral translation (or interpreting in industry jargon) has existed since humans began to communicate. Over time, it has become so important that it has turned into a service practised today at a professional level . However, interpreting, like many other sectors, has been experiencing changes. One of the most important changes that has greatly impacted the work of conference interpreters is...

Interpreting
When we hire an interpreting service, it is normal to worry about who is going to do the work. Translation and interpreting agencies do a selection and testing work to offer the best professional profiles to their clients. However, it is normal that as a client you want to review and check that this selection is the right one to ensure that the event will go perfectly. Language interpreting, or...

Firstly, it should be noted that in translation faculties, simultaneous translation is not discussed . They might even have trouble understanding what you mean. The term “simultaneous translation” belongs to natural language, that is, the way we express ourselves spontaneously. However, translation professionals do not use this term, as it can refer to various types of translation. You might have...

At first glance, it may seem silly to write a blog about what oral translation is . It seems easy to define: spoken translation or, better, translation that is reproduced by voice . However, when you speak of "oral translation", you may actually be referring to one of the many forms of oral translation . In this blog I will talk about the different forms oral translation takes . You will know...
