	What are language interpreter services? Are they the same as language interpretation?
	Spoken translation of speech is referred to as language interpreting, or language interpretation - yes, they're the same. Language interpreters allow 2 or more people to really talk, regardless of nationality. Interpreters can be seen as a cost - an unwelcome burden of working with "foreigners". By contrast, we're frequently complimented on the added value our language interpreters bring. By providing easy accurate communication, our carefully-briefed professional interpreters help ensure YOUR success.
	Can I get a language interpreter in any language?
	Our language interpreting service covers most languages, including BSL (sign language interpreting) and many rarer African, Asian and other ethnic groups. The most popular is BSL interpreting, then Spanish and French, then German and Italian. Court interpreting often uses Polish, Albanian, Czech, and Indian interpreting in Hindi and Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali and Urdu. We're increasingly sourcing Chinese interpreting (both Cantonese and Mandarin), Japanese and Thai, plus Turkish, Greek, and Russian. Our extensive language interpreter network often sources languages clients have been told "just aren't available" (like Sylheti, Amharic or Dari), for less than clients expect. Our languages page has some examples of recent work.
	Is all language interpreting the same?
	No - interpreting format varies with requirement. Main forms are:
	LIAISON INTERPRETING: If you visit abroad, or a visitor comes to you, you invest effort and money. Why waste it not communicating properly? Our liaison language interpreting service, UK and worldwide, costs little but adds much. Visitor and visited can both perform as they would at home; both achieve more. We provide fully-briefed professional escort / liaison language interpreters or formal consecutive language interpreting experienced in your sector.
	SIMULTANEOUS INTERPRETING ("conference interpreting"): Remember the isolation you feel abroad when you can't understand anyone around you? Many foreign delegates feel like that ALL CONFERENCE. Conferences cost a fortune to hold, largely wasted when delegates are isolated by language. Conference interpreting from our professional simultaneous interpreters or consecutive interpreters gives delegates far more from your conference, and your conference more from them. If only 2 or 3 require language interpreters we offer the much lower-cost option of experienced "whispering" interpreters (also called "chuchotage", from the French for whispering).
	COURT INTERPRETING: Our wide network of experienced, qualified DPSI & court interpreters is available in most languages and is regularly employed in courts across the UK, with a well-established reputation for quality and fluency. We are court interpreting providers to a wide range of law firms across the UK, as well as the Appeals Service and CPS.
	PUBLIC SERVICE INTERPRETING. SOCIAL, MEDICAL and LEGAL interviews and consultations present delicate situations in which clients' inability to understand can make a stressful situation unbearable. A sensitive language interpreter resolves this, reassuring clients and ensuring full communication. We carefully select DPSI-certified (Diploma in Public Service Interpreting) public service interpreters for their personal and technical skills to provide essential language interpreting to solicitors, hospitals, social and police services, and local authorities.
	Many of our interpreters are also qualified professionals in law, engineering or business with excellent and current technical knowledge and vocabulary. We carefully select, prepare and brief our language interpreters, ensuring they are suitable and fully-prepared before the assignment. We frequently receive praise for the competence and effectiveness of our interpreting.
	We provide language interpreters with expertise in your sector, fully briefed on the assignment, to your location in the UK, Europe or beyond for business, personal or conference interpreting. We can also arrange multi-way telephone interpreting where face-to-face interpreting is unnecessary.
