Telephone interpreting
In the case of telephone interpreting, the individual in need of the interpreting service and his client are usually present in the same room, while the interpreter is connected to them via telephone. Telephone interpreting is cost-effective, eco-friendly and fits well in situations where, for example, you want to protect the health of all participants.

What should I consider when hiring a telephone interpreter?
Make sure that you, your discussion partner and the telephone are positioned forming a triangle. The telephone should be located at the tip of the triangle and you and the person you are talking to should sit opposite each other in order to be able to make eye contact during the call. Speak clearly and remember to pause so that the interpreter does not have to translate too much information in one passage.
