As a result of the Coronavirus crisis, video conferencing has noticeably gained in importance, particularly with regards to online interpreting, also known as distance interpreting, which is being used more and more by companies.

The use of an interpreter is often essential when you need to communicate with various international partners. Using the expertise of a professional on-site or online interpreter (who is disciplined, and has clear and fluent pronunciation, etc.) allows you to communicate without limitations, beyond languages, with all your partners and multicultural teams. At Alphatrad UK, we are able to work in any context (company meetings, conferences, trade fairs, scientific presentations, etc.), either remotely (video-interpreting or telephone interpreting) or in person (consecutive or liaison interpreting).
