"We speak your language"
We provide four types of Interpreting Services: simultaneous, consecutive, escort and over-the-phone interpretation.
We have specialized in court interpreting in South Africa since 2008. We are also frequently used for large conferences or meetings. Simultaneous interpreting requires the linguist to "translate" what the speaker is saying as they speak. Thus, the interpreter is both listening and speaking at the same time. This takes intense concentration. Simultaneous interpreters often work in teams, taking breaks every 30 minutes or so. Simultaneous interpreting generally requires equipment such as microphones, headsets, and in some instances, booths.
Another form of consecutive interpreting is often called escort interpreting. If you are hosting a delegation of visitors from another country, you may want to use an escort interpreter for meeting clients at the airport or for tours and excursions. Escort interpreters generally translate informal conversations.
Consecutive interpreting is the most widely used type of on-site interpreting service and is most appropriate in smaller settings, such as training workshops, meetings, negotiations and technical seminars. During consecutive interpreting, the speaker speaks for a few minutes (a few sentences), then pauses. The interpreter takes notes and then orally conveys (translates) the speaker's message during the pause. The key element in consecutive interpreting is note taking: the interpreter records what is said and then translates this into the words of the target language without a pause.
Telephone interpreting (also called OPI or Over-the-Phone Interpretation) can be either simultaneous or consecutive.
If the participants of a telephone call are content to hear only the voice of the interpreter, telephone interpreting can be conducted in a simultaneous mode; alternatively interpreting can be conducted consecutively.
However, if the interpreter does not see the speakers and has no access to extra-linguistic clues to the speaker's meaning and context, the accuracy of simultaneous telephone interpreting tends to be significantly lower than for consecutive OPI.
We are currently offering these services at the Department of Home Affairs to assist the Refugee Reception Office (RRO), Refugee Appeals Authority (RAA), Review Committee, Standing Committee for Refugee Affairs (SCRA), Inspectorate at Refugee Reception Offices and Adjudication of Refugee Status Claims across all the provinces in South Africa.

Translation is the communication of the meaning of a source language text by means of an equivalent target language text.
The English language draws a terminological distinction between translating and interpreting. In terms of this distinction translation deciphers meaning of the written word from one language to another whilst interpretation conveys meaning of the spoken word from one language to another.
