Telephone interpreting
In Italy Prontomondo is the first company to have introduced the telephone interpreting, a service we called “Translated conference call”.
The service enables a telephone conversation between two people who do not speak the same language to go ahead as normal. The interpreter acts as the “bridge” between two speakers, listening to each question and immediately translating it into the foreign language, then repeating the process and translating the reply immediately into Italian.
To start and maintain commercial relations with Italian partners, discuss delicate business matters difficult to solve by e-mail, get in touch with hospitals or medical doctors in Italy, follow bureaucratic procedures in Italy, telephone interpreting is the easiest way to meet your needs in a professional manner.
It is the easiest way to effectively speak with an Italian counterpart over the phone without knowing a word of Italian!
Liaison interpreters
Liaison interpreters are needed when at least two different nationalities meet and understanding and oral communication shall be guaranteed by professionals able to handle the addressed topics with competence.
The liaison interpreters offered by Prontomondo combine great language skills and a deep knowledge of the culture and habits of the country of your foreign partner, besides having the ability to perfectly understand and communicate your ideas and the information you wish to convey in the foreign language.

This service is offered for any kind of congress or conference and the booths for simultaneous interpreting may be as many as the languages spoken in the event. It involves high professionalism and great responsibility by the specialized interpreters.
