Interpreting

Simultaneous interpreting

From Italian and German into English

Simultaneous interpreting is mainly used during conferences or on TV. The interpreter is usually in a booth (or at least isolated) and translates while the speaker talks, so that the public can listen to the speech in real time, in a language they understand.

Consecutive interpreting

Consecutive interpreting is also mainly used during conferences, on TV and during ceremonies such as weddings. It is often paired with whispered interpreting. The interpreter is usually next to the speaker and translates the speech chunk by chunk while the speaker pauses. Speakers should aim to speak for no longer than five minutes at a time, during which the interpreter takes notes.

Liaison interpreting

Between English and Italian,
German and Italian, German and English

Liaison interpreting is usually used during business negotiations or community settings. The two (or more) speakers involved speak in short turns and the interpreter translates after they pause. Depending on the length of each turn, the interpreter may also take notes.

Whispered interpreting

Whispered interpreting is mainly used during conferences when one or two guests don't speak the language in which the conference is being held. The interpreter sits next to or behind them and translates while the speaker talks, so that they can listen to the speech in a language they understand in real time.

Remote interpreting

Simultaneous, consecutive or liaison interpreting

Simultaneous, consecutive and liaison interpreting can also be performed remotely for online events. This requires the use of specific platforms or functions. Remote interpreting has seen an increase in popularity since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Live subtitling

Italian and English

​Live subtitling can be used during events such as conferences and live TV shows, where written captions are needed in real time. These can be in the same language the event is being held in, or in a different language, and special software is needed. Dragon NaturallySpeaking is the software I have trained in.

I have experience in translating texts in the following fields: tourism, marine biology, geopolitics, gender studies, art history and marketing. I am keen to work in many more.

Transcreation

Transcreation is a form of creative translation that requires a high degree of localisation. It is especially used in marketing and advertising. As Transcreation Manager at OLIVER, I enjoy working with transcreations every day.

Post-editing

From English and German into Italian

/

Post-editing is the practice of making amendments to texts already translated by machine translation software. It can be used to translate non-technical texts, or those that don't require any level of creativity.

Proofreading

Italian

It is of the utmost importance to have every translation and text proofread in order to deliver products of the highest quality. Having a proofreader who can spot typos and all kinds of linguistic errors prevents readers from losing trust in what they're reading.

Copywriting, content writing

Italian
English (with native proofreader - not provided)

Translators are writers, and I've had a passion for writing since I was a child. I have experience in writing travel-related articles in English and am keen to write content for a variety of channels and fields.
