4. Simultaneous interpreting – what is it?
What is simultaneous interpreting and why should it be offered?

5. Validation – high-quality translations are a joint effort
In the translation process, in addition to the translator, the best possible result requires the input of other employees of the translation agency as well as the customer. One of the most important tools for assessing the linguistic quality of translations is validation. Validation means a review by the customer after the translation has been completed, in which the terminology and style of the text are evaluated in particular.
