Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between simultaneous and consecutive interpretation?
Simultaneous interpretation happens in real time — the interpreter speaks while the source speaker is still talking, with a 2-3 second delay. It requires booth equipment for in-person events or RSI platforms for virtual ones. Consecutive interpretation pauses every 1-3 sentences for the interpreter to render the message; no equipment required.
How much lead time do you need to book interpretation?
For depositions and small business meetings, 48 hours is typically enough. Conferences with multiple language pairs or specialized subject matter (medical, technical, legal) require 1-2 weeks to allow for terminology preparation and team coordination.
Do you provide interpretation equipment?
We coordinate equipment for in-person events: simultaneous booths, headsets, transmitters, microphones. For virtual events, we use Zoom Interpretation, Interprefy, KUDO, and other RSI (Remote Simultaneous Interpretation) platforms.
What languages do you cover?
Spanish ↔ English is our primary pair. We also handle Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Mandarin, Japanese, Russian, and Hebrew through our partner network. Tell us the pair and event date — we confirm availability within hours.
Are your interpreters court-certified?
Yes. Israel Yanez and our core interpreter team are court-authorized Peritos Traductores credentialed by the TSJ and CJF. We handle depositions, arbitrations, sworn statements, and any proceeding where the interpreter must be on the official record.
