Escort interpreting

In  this type of interpretation, the interpreter accompanies the client to events such as fairs and cultural events, for example guided visits, visiting factories, tourism in cities, formal dinners, etc., where a language which the client does not speak is spoken.

They are generally small groups or individuals who contract this kind of interpretation. The advantage is that the contact between the client and the interpreter is more direct and close, which allows you to explain cultural peculiarities and give advice on how to behave in the right manner according to the situation.

The accompanying interpreter translates what is said into the foreign language to the client, and expresses what the client wants to ask or say in the foreign language. The interpreter’s mother tongue is not relevant in this type of interpretation, although, of course, they must have a very good level in both languages. As in other types of interpretation, it is very important that the interpreter knows in detail both the local and the client’s culture.

To carry out escort interpreting, it is not necessary to exhaustively prepare as in other types of interpretation, and it often isn’t even necessary to have a professional interpreter. It is a spontaneous and free form of communication and one which does not require any form of technical equipment.
