Each interpreting project is unique, and yours is no exception. Be it a conference, a meeting, a community forum, or even a first date (all real-life examples!), your message warrants the skills and professionalism of a trained, Spanish<>English interpreter to make sure all goes smoothly. Spoken language interpretation is typically divided into Simultaneous, Consecutive, Sight, and Liaison modes (click here to learn more). Jessica at AlmaLuna, LLC specializes in each and every one of these, and is ready to discuss what mode or combination of modes will be just right for your needs. Additionally, she has a set of ten, wireless listening units available for rent to facilitate simultaneous mode. Referrals can be provided for events that may require more than ten units.

“How is subtitling different than translation?” you may ask. Subtitling often requires truncating a message to its core elements so that it fits on a screen or device, without losing meaning. Subtitling also involves precise time stamps and can require special software. Need a translation/transcription AND subtitling? Let’s do it.
