Interpretation - What We Do

Interpretation…a verbatim, oral rendering from one language to another

The International Institute of St. Louis offers confidential and reliable in-person consecutive interpreting as well as over-the-phone interpreting. We link companies with customers and clients who do not speak the same language. Examples include welcoming foreign dignitaries, conducting a small group training session, or participating in a medical office visit.

In-Person Consecutive Interpretation

Our highly experienced and qualified professional interpreters are native language speakers who are also proficient in English. Interpreters use the words of the source-language speaker to the equivalent or closest counterpart for the word in the second language. We and our interpreters are:

• Authorities in Our Field
• Culturally Competent
• Discreet and Confidential
• Ethical
• HIPAA Compliant

Consecutive Interpreting

In consecutive interpreting, the interpreter speaks after the source-language speaker has finished speaking. The speech is divided into segments, and the interpreter sits or stands beside the source-language speaker, listening and taking notes as the speaker progresses through the message. When the speaker pauses or finishes speaking, the interpreter then renders a portion of the message or the entire message in the target language.

Over-the-Phone Interpretation

The International Institute offers immediate access to more than 150 languages through telephonic interpreting. In-person interpreting is the ideal, but companies can sometimes face issues of affordability and convenience.

• Intermittent walk-in customers
• Referrals and other short-term contacts
• Emergencies
• Sales or repairmen in the field
• Less common or rare language need

There is no minimum commitment and no monthly participation fees. To connect with telephonic services, customers call a 1-866 number; available 24/7/365.
