About Interpretation Services
What is Interpretation?
You may need language interpretation services for various forums such as community interpreting, large conferences, informal meetings, legal proceedings, medical appointments, live interactions, and phone calls. Interpreters can significantly help participants who don't speak or understand the primary language. A2Z can provide video, or phone-based interpreters for your engagements to ensure a positive experience for your participants and a productive interaction for all.

Types of Interpretation Services:
Consecutive Interpretation
Consecutive interpretation is commonly used in one-on-one or small group settings to facilitate interactions between people in two or more languages. One party speaks and pauses while the interpreter speaks, waits for a response, and then interprets the response back to the original speaker. We also have the technology to provide consecutive interpretation remotely when in-person interactions aren't possible. Our interpreters are experts in conveying meaning efficiently and professionally.
- Ideal for: Community, small group settings, or between one or two people.
Simultaneous Interpretation
Simultaneous interpretation is generally used for large conferences and meetings, or in situations where two or more languages are required and the audience has mixed language requirements. Not every interpreter is capable of performing simultaneous conference interpretation—delivering this service requires highly trained and experienced interpreters as well as specialized equipment, which we can deliver. We have interpreters in most languages with the experience and knowledge to provide interpretation services in this setting.
- Ideal for: Small to large conference/meeting settings and may require more than one interpreter in the same language depending on the context and duration of the interpretation session.
