At CMM Languages, we have interpreters in India for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Italian, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish & Turkish languages.

CMM Languages can assist you with professional interpretation for diverse settings, namely :


(i) Simultaneous Interpretation
(ii) Consecutive Interpretation
(iii) Telephonic Interpretation

During Consecutive Interpretation, the speaker pauses after making a statement, allowing the interpreter to communicate message of the source language. This kind of interpretation is used for small business meetings, appointments, etc. In case of Simultaneous Interpretation, which is of a comparatively more complex nature, the interpreter’s job is to swiftly & simultaneously communicate what the speaker says, without any unnecessary delay. Evidently, such kind of interpretation isn’t commonly used & is opted for discussions or conferences of major importance. It also involves the utilization of special equipments like headsets & microphones, separate booths, etc.
