INTERPRETING

What is interpretation? Interpretation is the conveyance of a message from one language to another while

at the same time maintaining the original register, tone, style, and intentions of the speaker. Interpretation
is an art not a science. There are many, many ways of saying what you mean. How can you be sure that
what you want to say is coming across to the other person exactly how you intend it to be? Our interpreters
have the skill and experience to make sure your message doesn’t get lost in the translation.
