Interpretation services involve converting spoken language from one language into another language in real-time. They are used to translate speeches, presentations, conversations, and other spoken languages into the native or preferred language of a given audience.

It takes place in many settings and for many reasons, yet the main purpose of interpreting is to facilitate communication between parties who do not share a common language. Trained, qualified interpreters faithfully interpret for all parties without adding, omitting or changing the message.
