Face to Face Interpreting Services

Access spoken language interpreters

At Dals, we offer professional face to face interpreting through a network of skilled interpreters. Your organisation benefits from accurate and culturally sensitive interpreting in real-time.

Why choose face to face interpreting?

Face to face interpreting goes beyond the spoken word; it includes non-verbal communication. This can help convey deeper context, cultural sensitivities and emotions, ensuring accurate and effective communication.

Our face to face interpreting services are invaluable in various scenarios, including:

Legal proceedings to ensure precise translation in high-stakes environments
Healthcare appointments to help patients understand vital health information and to avoid dangerous miscommunication of medical information
Business meetings to enable clear communication across diverse languages in corporate settings
Police interviews to aid the delivery of sensitive or difficult subject matters

Face to face interpreting offers a deep level of support compared to other forms of interpretation. Here, the interpreter’s presence helps in crucial understanding of subtle cues, body language and tone.

When is face to face interpreting required?

In some situations, face to face interpreting services might be preferred over telephone interpreting or video remote interpreting. For example, in-person interaction might be appropriate for when the content is complex, sensitive or requires additional explanation.

Face to face interpreting might be preferred for:

Secondary disabilities, which makes other technology-enabled interpreting solutions difficult to use for the customer
Healthcare appointments where particularly sensitive information must be conveyed
Court appointments, where accuracy and precision are paramount and interactions are fast-paced

Whatever the situation, Dals is on hand to help.
