Choosing Your Polish - Portuguese Interpreter

Do not make the mistake of assuming a good translator is automatically a good interpreter. The two skills are entirely different. While a document translator works in relative isolation and has recourse to dictionaries and text books at his leisure, a Polish interpreter must satisfy other criteria. Another key difference is that most face-to-face interpreters will work in both directions. While a document translator may be confident only when translating from Polish to Portuguese, an interpreter may need to be as fluent in translating from Portuguese to Polish as they are in translating from Polish to Portuguese

There are three different ways in which your Portuguese Interpreter can work to suit particular situations.

Portuguese Business/Liaison Interpreter

A business interpreter will interpret into Portuguese more or less sentence by sentence, allowing a smooth interchange between those on both sides. The interpreter will maintain a conversational flow into and out of Portuguese allowing questions, answers and clarifications to be made in both directions at any time. This method of working by the interpreter is ideal for business meetings, where both parties need to be satisfied they have been able to raise issues and had them addressed.

Consecutive Interpreter

Here the interpreter will take notes in Portuguese while the speaker is speaking in Polish. Only after the speaker has finished will the interpreter deliver the speech in Portuguese. A consecutive interpreter is employed mostly to interpret speeches or spontaneous talks which cannot be interrupted.

Simultaneous Interpreter

The interpreter will deliver their Portuguese interpretation at the same time the speaker is speaking, never more than a few words behind. Because two people are speaking at once, simultaneous interpreters are used mostly in large scale venues such as conference centres or government buildings which have special facilities including booths and headphone systems. On a smaller, impromptu scale, a simultaneous interpreter can work by “whispering”.

Portuguese Interpreter Requirements

Your Portuguese interpreter should be polite, efficient and unobtrusive. You are the person delivering the speech and making the decisions. Your interpreter needs to be entirely self-effacing, and all but invisible to your Portuguese colleagues.
