PTTC offers real-time interpretation services for meetings, conferences and events, across Cambodia and even the rest of the world, across a wide range of languages and industries, either in person or remotely.
The two most basic interpretation modes are simultaneous interpretation and consecutive interpretation.
- Simultaneous Interpretation: This mode involves the interpreter listening to the speaker and translating the message in real-time, almost concurrently. The interpreter usually works in a soundproof booth with headphones and a microphone, delivering the translation to the audience through headsets. This service is commonly used in large conferences and international meetings.
- Consecutive Interpretation: In this mode, the interpreter waits for the speaker to finish a segment of their speech prior to translating it into the target language. The interpreter takes notes while listening and then delivers the translation once the speaker pauses. Consecutive interpretation is often used in smaller settings, such as business meetings, interviews, and legal proceedings.
- Whispered Interpretation: The interpreter whispers the translation directly to the listener, typically used in meetings where only a few people require interpretation.
- Escort Interpretation: The interpreter accompanies individuals on tours, meetings, or travel, providing consecutive interpretation services on the go.
- Relay Interpretation: In multilingual conferences, one language is translated to a pivot language by one interpreter, and to other languages by different interpreters.
- Remote Interpretation: Using technology to interpret from a different location, ideal for virtual meetings and web conferences.
