An English interpreter helps when the participants in a conversation do not fully speak each other's language. The interpreter listens to what is said, keeps the meaning and the tone, and conveys the information clearly in the other language. The service is intended for live communication, not for preparing a document in writing.
English interpreting services
The service format is chosen according to the purpose of the meeting, the number of participants and the duration. Before booking, it is best to tell us briefly what the conversation is about, so that an interpreter with the right experience can be selected and can prepare for the meeting in advance.
Consecutive interpreting
The speaker talks in short segments, and the interpreter then conveys what was said in the other language. Speech from English into Georgian and from Georgian into English is rendered in turns. This format suits meetings, consultations and negotiations.
Simultaneous interpreting
The interpreter renders the speech almost at the same time. The format is used at events, conferences and presentations and may require suitable technical equipment. The availability of the interpreter and of the equipment must be confirmed in advance.
Online interpreter
Interpreting is possible at a video or audio meeting. The platform, the start time, the duration and the topic of the conversation are agreed in advance.
When might you need an English interpreter?
A visit to a notary
During a signing, a power of attorney, a consent or another notarial act, the interpreter helps the parties communicate. The visit must be planned in advance.
A business meeting
At a meeting with a foreign partner, in negotiations, at a presentation or during a business visit, the interpreter helps the parties keep their communication accurate.
With a lawyer or in court
At a legal meeting, terms and what is said must be rendered as accurately as possible. The subject of the case and the format must be agreed before booking.
A medical consultation
During a visit to a doctor, the interpreter helps the patient and the medical staff exchange information clearly. The interpreter does not give a diagnosis or medical advice.
An event or a training
For a seminar, a training, a presentation or a conference, the format is determined according to the number of participants and the programme.
A remote meeting
You can bring an online interpreter into an interview, a consultation or a video meeting with partners. A stable internet connection and good sound are important.
English interpreter at a notary
If a person who does not fully understand the language of the document or of the conversation takes part in a notarial act, an interpreter may be needed. The requirements may differ depending on the type of act and the notary's procedure, so first check the details with the specific notary office.
When booking, give us the notary's address, the exact time of the visit, the type of act, the expected duration and the languages of the participants. If you have a text related to the matter in advance, reading it will help the interpreter prepare.
Having an interpreter present and a notarized written translation of a document are two different services. When booking, tell us which one exactly you need.
Interpreter at meetings and negotiations
At a business meeting, what matters is not only the meaning of the words but also the tone, the professional terms and the intentions of the parties. An agenda, a presentation or a list of terms provided in advance helps the interpreter prepare for the topic of the conversation.
If the matter is confidential, let us know when booking. Before the meeting starts, the number of participants, the place, the online platform, the expected duration and the interpreting format are agreed.
In-person and online interpreter
With the in-person service, the interpreter comes to the agreed place. This format is convenient for a meeting planned at a notary, in an office, in a clinic, at an event or in another venue. The address and the travel conditions must be agreed in advance.
The online service is useful when the participants are in different cities or countries. Before joining, check the camera, the microphone and the internet connection. For a long meeting or one with many participants, it may be necessary to plan breaks and technical details in advance.
