quality objective no. 7
“Today, the fate of the world depends primarily on its statesmen and secondarily on their interpreters.”
Trygve Lie, Norwegian politician,

That is what we believe too.
Our principles:
- Exclusive deployment of professional and experienced interpreters with a degree or similar qualification
- Colleagues interpret into their native language and into the foreign language
That is only possible with professional competence:
- More than 30 years of know-how in project implementation
- Commitment, flexibility, professionalism and qualified response capacity of internal and external staff
- Simultaneous interpreting (at [video] conferences, professional meetings, site visits, etc.)
- Conference equipment required (on-line platforms such as Zoom and Cisco Webex, booth or portable interpreting equipment)
- Team of two interpreters per language combination, alternating every 20-30 minutes
- Escort interpreting / whisper interpreting (for meetings of short duration and with a small number of participants)
- No conference equipment
- Either one or two interpreters
We also provide special interpreting skills:
- Telephone interpreting
- Provision of conference equipment required (platforms for on-line interpreting at video conferences – also hybrid [combination of attendance and video] – booths incl. equipment – sound system – portable interpreting equipment)
- Speech-to-text interpreting for persons with impaired hearing
Our fee system reflects a fair price-performance ratio:
- Invoicing of interpreting assignments based on daily fees
- Invoicing of portable interpreting equipment depending on the number of sets of headphones / receivers required
- Invoicing of conference technology depending on booth equipment and existing sound system
- Invoicing of on-line platform depending on duration and number of participants
