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 Serbian either provides real-time oral translation into Serbian as a target language, or translates the Serbian source into your target language. From the Serbian 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 the Serbian relay interpreters.

Relay interpreting – the way to implement also the most exotic language combinations!

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 Serbian. Interpreter A hears the the the Serbian original and speaks his/her English translation into the microphone.

Our TIP: Make your business appointment in Serbia a success
Usually, Serbs will be relatively reserved in a first meeting. Using the formal form of address and a firm handshake is a safe way to starting an acquaintance. During post-negotiations small talk, it is advisable not to comment on the history of Serbia, or on poverty in the country. Rather ask about tips which sights to see in beautiful Belgrade, which local foods to try, or talk sports.

In general, Serbs prefer personal encounters and amiable relationships also when doing business. Coming to visit in person is better than meeting online. An invitation to dinner is not uncommon after several meetings, and should definitely be accepted. When it comes to prices and conditions, Serbs are often open for compromise. Nothing is carved in stone.
