They are fluent in both Spanish and English and will give clear, concise interpretations and can interpret complex concepts and familiar with technical jargon. They will ensure that communication runs smoothly during a site visit.
Interpreting for tourists guided group visits
Frenchside site visit interpreters also offer their services in the tourism industry. For small guided group tours, we offer consecutive interpreting, with no equipment whatsoever, to interpret to those who speak another language. While for large group tours, a tour guide system is used. The interpreter wears a microphone and the visitors are equipped with headsets and can adjust the volume on their equipment to make sure everything is clearly heard. The interpreter will go through the same tour as the guests and interpret everything the guide is saying from English to Spanish or the other way round.
The focus of the tours are generally on cultural heritage and can either be public, such as tourist sites or private, where special occasions are held. These can include historic sites, museums, monuments or protected natural sites.
The interpreter also acts as a mediator when it comes to relaying questions between the visitors and the tour guide, this helps with engagement and helps visitors participate without difficulty. The interpreter ensures that there isn’t any language barriers and acts as a bridge for communication between the tour guide and the visitors, ensuring full access to culture and information about the place they are visiting.
