European Works Council in Monza

A small team from Clever Voices interpreted at this year's meeting of the EWC of Sterling Fluid Systems, a world leading pump manufacturer in Monza, Italy from 18th to 20th March. The team interpreted into a total of six working languages German, English, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch, the conference language being German. We worked with the so-called relay method. Relay interpreting is used when several languages at once are the target language. [A source-language interpreter renders the words being spoken in one language (say, Dutch) into a language common to every interpreter (in our case, German); each interpreter then translates the words into his or her specific target language (in our case English, French, Italian and Spanish)].
Meetings of European Works Councillors usually work with a regular team of interpreters. This guarantees that all interpreters are always up-to-date with the latest developments and are familiar with the terminology of that particular company. This guarantees the customer a high degree of quality assurance.

Glioblastoma multiforme

Some team members of Clever Voices have an additional qualification as "Medical Linguist" and are therefore specially qualified to interpret at highly demanding conferences in the medical field. On 1st April the topic was glioblastoma multiforme, an incurable brain tumour. The conference took place in Munich and participants from the USA, Great Britain and France were listening by means of a video conference.
