“Thank you so much again for your support of SecurePort 2007 – it was a great event thanks to you ... I’d like to offer a suggestion for use of Donatti interpretation. PHA used them ... and they were so impressive that we contracted with them to support SecurePort. We’ve used several in the past and have been around many companies, but Donatti stands out to us and I wanted to pass that recommendation along.

FAQ'S
-
What is the difference between translation and interpreting?
Interpretation is an ORAL excise
Translation is a WRITTEN exercise
Simultaneous Interpretation
The speaker´s voice is translated at the same time he or she is speaking. Participants listen through headsets.
Commonly used for large meetings and multilingual events.
Advantages of this method:
- Speech is delivered without interruptions, retains the flow of the presentation.
- Most efficient use of time: no additional time is required for the translation.
- Not disruptive since the interpretation is heard only by those who choose to listen.
- Most professional method, impressive to foreign delegations. -
What is the difference between Simultaneous and Consecutive Interpretation?
Consecutive Interpretation
The speaker pauses every two or three sentences to allow time for the interpreter to translate the remarks. The interpreter needs to be in close proximity to the speaker and the participants. Commonly used for tours, receptions, during depositions, recorded statements and for witness testimony in the legal setting.
-
Why use professional interpreters?
When holding a multilingual meeting it is essential to use a professional who understands not only the
language and technical and cultural context, but also has the experience and qualifications necessary
to do the job.Interpreters guarantee seamless communication across language barriers. Just knowing a language is not enough.
Some of the requirements include:
- Membership in professional organizations.
- Knowledge and adherence to professional ethics, as interpreters and translators manage confidential and
proprietary information on a daily basis.
- Continued professional education and travel to the countries where their working languages are spoken,
to keep up to date with changes in language and culture. -

language combinations.
