Geneva, the world capital of diplomacy and home to the UN, the ICRC and the WHO, has a unique tradition of professional interpretation services. TranslateBE delivers remote interpretation via Zoom, Teams and WebEx for Geneva's international organisations, NGOs, private sector and financial world — rates available in EUR or CHF on request.
What is remote interpretation?
Remote interpretation makes it possible to engage professional interpreters via video conferencing platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, WebEx or Google Meet, without requiring the interpreter to be physically present. The interpreter works from a studio and delivers simultaneous interpretation in real time. For Geneva, which traditionally maintains the highest standards for interpretation services (UN level), TranslateBE guarantees interpreters with experience in international diplomacy and humanitarian terminology.
