Simultaneous interpreting is considered the most challenging type of oral translation. The interpreter must master the art of listening to text in the source language, instantly understand and translate it, and simultaneously speak it out loud in the target language. A simultaneous interpreter for Slovenian either provides real-time oral translation into Slovenian as a target language, or translates the Slovenian source into your target language. From Slovenian into English, and then into Japanese? We can also cater for the more unusual language combinations. Where there are no experts to cover the desired combination directly, we resort to our Slovenian relay interpreters.

Relay interpreting – the way to implement also the most exotic language combinations!
Relay interpreting is a special type of simultaneous interpreting. The interpretation likewise takes place in real time, but a first interpreter translates the original source text into a language understood by the second interpreter, who then in turn renders this translation in the target language. Not quite sure you understand?

Okay – let’s go back to the above example: Let’s assume the speech is given in Slovenian. Interpreter A hears the Slovenian original and speaks his/her English translation into the microphone. Interpreter B listens to the English version and speaks the Japanese translation that the target audience will hear through their headsets. It sounds complicated, but we make it easy for you. After more than 20 years of experience in all types of interpreting, we have routine enough to find a solution for all your needs.

Our TIP: Make your business appointment in Slovenia a success
Due to its Slavic language and its geographical situation, the Central European country is often considered as belonging to the Balkans – to the dissatisfaction of the Slovenians. Feeling much more connected to Austria and Italy, they assumed some of the ways of their Western European neighbors. After meeting you and shaking hands, your Slovenian business partners will love a bit of small talk, preferably about alpine sports or Slovenian products that have reached European standards. Don’t expect to receive a decision immediately after the meeting – this may take some time here. If you want to check up on the state of affairs, best send an email to a person authorized to make the decision. Most Slovenians will prefer this to a phone call.
