Nowadays, many people travel, work or study abroad and meet new people along the way. This is all the more common in the European Union, in which travelling and living between several countries has become for members of this international organisation. Falling in love in a foreign country is becoming increasingly common. In a relationship, language doesn ‘ t remain an obstacle for long, however, communication can be difficult when the two families and circles of friends meet. For this reason, many people need an interpreter for their wedding. This ensures that every guest, relative or friend can understand the discussions and feel included during the ceremony and reception, giving the bride and groom the opportunity to enjoy their big day to the full without any worries.

Interpreting is a very complex type of translation, There are several types, each with its own difficulties. As with other events requiring the services of an interpreter, the type of interpreter you choose will depend on the number of guests you have and your budget. If only a few guests need translation during a small ceremony, whispered interpreting is the best option. This allows the interpreter to sit next to the guests and translate in a low voice without disturbing the ceremony. What’s more, whispering requires no complex equipment or special facilities.

On the other hand, if the ceremony involves a large number of guests requiring translation, simultaneous interpreting will be necessary. This method allows guests to follow the ceremony at the same time as everyone else. On the other hand, the interpreter will need a suitable location, isolated from the ceremony, to avoid disturbing the other guests and to be able to concentrate better. This area must be equipped with headphones to hear the ceremony and a microphone for simultaneous interpretation, which the guests concerned can listen to using headphones.

Weddings are cultural events, often religious, which require an interpreter capable of fully understanding the two languages, cultures and sometimes religions involved. The interpreter’s essential skills include linguistic mastery, cultural understanding, memory, responsiveness and communication, not forgetting qualities such as organisation and punctuality.

Weddings are emotionally charged events, which are often difficult to convey through interpreting. Only qualified and experienced interpreters can faithfully such as humour and emotional speech . To achieve this, the interpreter must prepare thoroughly, researching specific vocabulary and learning about relevant cultural elements. In some cases, they may also have access to the pre-written speeches speeches to help them better understand how the ceremony will unfold.
