European Works Council Interpreting Services

For spoken multilingual meetings, you need conference interpreters. “EWC translators” is sometimes used informally, but translation normally refers to written documents. I can help you identify the right interpreting format for your meeting.

Interpreting is the art of orally translating spoken language from one language to another in real-time (simultaneous interpretation) or with a slight delay (consecutive interpretation). This is different from translation, which is a process that deals with written information instead. Interpreting, sometimes also referred to as “live translation”, requires formal training in the techniques and skills needed to accurately relay all information. As an Italian interpreter, I facilitate communication between individuals or groups who don’t speak the same language but need to reach a common goal. To do this, I rely on a deep understanding of both languages and cultures to convey meaning, not just mere words.

Interpreting services encompass a range of linguistic solutions tailored to meet diverse communication needs. As an Italian Simultaneous interpreter I ensure seamless communication during conferences, seminars, and large-scale events, meeting the need for real-time translation without disrupting the flow of discourse. Consecutive interpreting is suitable for smaller gatherings, legal proceedings and medical appointments, allowing for accurate translation while accommodating pauses for reflection. As an Italian simultaneous interpreter in London and beyond, I strive to deliver top-quality linguistic support tailored to my clients’ specific requirements, whether it’s for events, business meetings, or specialised settings such as sports events.

Live translation, also known as simultaneous interpretation, involves conveying spoken messages from one language to another in real-time. As a seasoned Italian interpreter, I specialise in providing live interpretation for events ranging from conferences and seminars to sports events in London. My expertise ensures smooth communication flow, enabling participants to engage effectively regardless of language: this converts into better inclusivity, reputation, brand awareness, engagement and sales. When working in a multilingual context, relying on professional interpretation services is the only way to get results.

As soon as your meeting dates and languages are known. Specialist EWC interpreters are in particularly high demand during recurring peak periods. The revised European Works Council Directive removes previous exemptions and may increase the number of active EWCs. Because many councils schedule their meetings during the same peak periods, booking specialist interpreters well in advance is likely to become increasingly important. For practical timing guidance, see When Should You Book Interpreters for an EWC Meeting?

Continuity is a priority. Wherever possible, I retain the same core booth partners across plenary sessions, select committee meetings and training, supported by standby substitutes briefed in advance.

Agendas, presentations, terminology, previous minutes, speaker information and relevant background documents all support effective preparation. The earlier these are available, the better. For a full document checklist, see What Documents Should You Provide to an EWC Interpreter?
