About Us/ Intercultural Training/ English/ Foreign Languages/ Translation/ Interpretation/ Map

At Germaine, the term "interpretation" is used to refer to oral communication, while "translation" refers to written communication. Using our network of experienced native-speaker-fluent interpreters, a generous lead time will help us select the best person available to match the kind of subject matter and interpretation needed.

Our interpretation service includes:

  • consecutive interpreting: the client makes a single statement and then pauses while the interpreter repeats the statement in the other language

  • simultaneous interpreting: using a system of small earphones or headphones, everyone hears the message in the second language at the same time as the client is saying it

  • escort interpreting: interpreter accompanies international guests in informal activities, ex. sightseeing, meals, shopping, travel ...

  • in Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Dutch, Russian, Japanese, Chinese and other languages

  • all kinds of subject matter: automotive, computers and software, finance, legal, medical, pharmaceutical, technical, etc.

  • for formal or informal meetings, tours or phone calls
Related services include voice-over recordings by native-speaker professionals.

"We were very pleased with Germaine. They were highly skilled and professional, and a pleasure with whom to work. We would use Germaine's services again without hesitation."
- Melissa A. Mummey, Senior Resources Generalist, The Longaberger Company
