Professional Interpreters for English

The interpreters of this association are focused on spoken translation between English and other languages. There are several methods of interpretation: simultaneous, conference, liaison or whispered. “National Register of Public Service Interpreters” provides a directory of English interpreters  who are available to offer their services in United Kingdom. The head office is in London, but the interpreters work all over United Kingdom. Interpreters often work for international organisations such as the European Parliament, the UN or NATO. English interpreters are also needed in hospitals, at trade fairs or at international summits where political leaders meet.

Simultaneous English interpretation is needed at conferences, on television or at any event where participants need to understand a speaker in real time and without interruptions. The special thing about this is that technical equipment such as booths, microphones and headphones are required.

In consecutive interpreting, English interpreters interrupt the speaker and translate the speech one chunk at a time. They can be seen, for example, at informal press conferences, which are often improvised and do not have the necessary equipment.

And finally there is the so-called whispered interpretation between English and other languages, where the interpreter acts as an intermediary in a conversation between two people and translates in a low voice.

Court translators and interpreters for English

English-language court translators and court interpreters are competent in court and police courts to produce reliable translations with legal recognition. Whether written or oral English translations, these professionals translate sentences, oral depositions, statements, deeds or expert reports, among things.

The work of English-speaking court translators and interpreters overlaps with the role of the (official) sworn translator for English, and in fact many translators who act in court are also sworn translators recognized by an official body in United Kingdom.

In this British association, you will find a directory of translators and interpreters authorised to work for the English Authorities. There is most likely another association for sworn translators in English language, specially focusing on these type of professionals. If there is one, you will find the link below.
