How should I pick an interpretation service?

Select an interpretation service provider that:

Can provide interpretation in a large variety of language pairs and domains

Has a large network of qualified, experienced linguists

Integrates multidisciplinary management teams 

Carries the most up-to-date certifications  

What is the difference between consecutive and simultaneous interpretation?

During consecutive interpretation, the speaker pauses after every two or three sentences to allow the interpreter to interpret what was just said. During simultaneous interpretation, the speaker does not pause for the interpreter and instead speaks continuously. A simultaneous interpreter has specialized training and interprets a word or two behind the speaker.
