Types of Interpreting Services Offered in Copenhagen
Simultaneous Interpreting for Conferences and Large Events
Perfect for multilingual conferences, EU summits, and large corporate gatherings โ especially at venues like the Bella Center Copenhagen โ simultaneous interpreting delivers real-time translation via wireless headsets from soundproof booths.
Teams of two interpreters rotate every 20โ30 minutes to maintain peak performance, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and consistency throughout extended sessions. This is the industry standard for professional events where timing and precision matter.
Consecutive Interpreting for Meetings and Negotiations
Ideal for smaller, interactive settings โ such as contract signings, legal consultations, investor briefings, and training workshops โ consecutive interpreting allows speakers to pause after short segments, enabling interpreters to deliver precise, context-rich translations.
Our interpreters use professional note-taking techniques to preserve nuance, tone, and intent โ critical when decisions hinge on exact wording. We also optimize room layout, microphone placement, and acoustics to enhance clarity.
Remote Interpreting (RSI, VRI, OPI)
Whether your audience is hybrid or fully remote, we offer flexible, secure solutions:
- Remote Simultaneous Interpreting (RSI) โ For webinars, virtual summits, and hybrid conferences via Zoom, Teams, or Webex.
- Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) โ For medical consultations, HR interviews, legal intake sessions, and business meetings requiring visual cues.
- Over-the-Phone Interpreting (OPI) โ For urgent, short-duration needs like emergency calls, quick clarifications, or last-minute appointments.
Remote interpreting reduces logistical costs without compromising quality โ making it a smart choice for organizations with global teams.
Sworn Interpreters for Legal and Official Proceedings
For court hearings, arbitration, notarial acts, immigration interviews, and government proceedings, only sworn interpreters โ officially certified by Danish authorities โ are legally recognized.
Our sworn interpreters are vetted, experienced, and familiar with Danish legal protocols. We also provide sworn translation services for documents such as contracts, birth certificates, patents, and academic diplomas โ ensuring full legal validity and institutional acceptance.

About the โCopenhagen Interpretationโ in Physics (Quick Explainer)
For those curious about the term: The โCopenhagen interpretationโ is a foundational framework in quantum mechanics, developed in the 1920sโ30s by Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg at the University of Copenhagenโs Institute for Theoretical Physics.
It posits that quantum systems do not have definite properties until measured โ emphasizing probability over deterministic reality. While influential in physics education and philosophy, it is unrelated to our language services โ though we do interpret it accurately, should you need it translated.
Rest assured โ our interpreters specialize in human language, not quantum wavefunctions.
