Interpretation Services
More than 200 experienced interpreters with various specialties and skills are registered
with JAC, and we can select a translator that best suits your needs.
All sorts of occasions
We can select and dispatch an interpreter or interpreters according to the occasion:
e.g. business negotiation, tele-conference, IR meeting, IR road show, conference
and symposium (on-stage and booth), seminar, trade fair, interview, focus group,
assistance for visitors, assistance in hospital visits and shopping trips.
All styles of interpretation
Our interpreters have varied levels of skills from consecutive (interpreting during
pauses in the original speech), whispering (interpreting simultaneously on a one-on-one
basis) and conference interpretation (interpreting simultaneously usually in a booth
for large audience). We can select the most suitable for the assignment.
Strict Confidentiality
JAC and its interpreters keep confidential all information obtained in relation
to the assignment.
