Budget solution for less

Facilitating Interpreting covers a range of activities. Typically many
people talk and many people listen alternately. Facilitating Interpreting
is the term used to describe work which is less structured than Consecutive
Interpreting or Simultaneous
Interpreting assignments.
Sometimes you just need someone bilingual on hand who can help out
with ad-hoc requirements during an event. Facilitating Interpreters
are often hired to attend international corporate hospitality events
and team building sessions. They are a great help in making your clients
and staff feel comfortable and can help avoid misunderstandings and
consequent embarrassment.
Facilitating Interpreters are often used when some group members have
a smattering of both (or all) the languages involved and require someone
bilingual to clarify points of confusion by saying it 'in other words'.
Other times, the various group members can only speak their native language,
in which case we can help by switching between Consecutive Interpreting
to the group and providing one-to-one help to group members who are
struggling.

considerations when planning events requiring Facilitating Interpreters,

Interpreting FAQ.
