Multilingual communication in Italian, English and French

Translation and interpreting for international companies

Strategic documents, key meetings, and international events. Any contact with foreign partners and stakeholders involves your company’s reputation.
Documents do not exist in a vacuum. Fragmented management of language needs, switching between suppliers or automatic tools, creates a lack of continuity which your international partners will notice, even if they are too polite to say so.
During negotiations, language skills are only one piece of the puzzle. Success relies on a complex web of non-verbal, cultural and contextual nuance that only a human professional can catch and effectively handle in real time.
I am your single port of call for translation, copywriting and interpreting in Italian, English and French, making sure that you use the correct words, and the most appropriate.
When the stakes are high, just good is not good enough.

My services are tailored for international companies seeking not only a language-services supplier, but a strategic partner…

  • capable of aligning vision, mission and brand philosophy across markets
    able to interpret professional
  • dynamics and cultural differences between speakers
  • with a decade of experience in high-pressure international settings and complex relations
  • who they can rely on when the stakes are high
  • who prioritises human intelligence and professional responsibility over speed alone.

What’s the real benefit for you?

Your workforce’s productivity remains totally centred around high-value strategic matters, whilst I take care of all translation, copywriting and interpreting with turnkey solutions.
The messages translated and interpreted into Italian, English and French are not just “correct”, but fully aligned with the specific intent of the company and the international communicative context.
Sensitive information is protected by non-disclosure agreements and a transparent and traceable workflow.

F.A.Q.

What’s the difference between simultaneous and consecutive interpreting? When is each used?

Simultaneous – The interpreter works from a booth and translates in real time with the speaker. Participants listen to the translation using dedicated earphones. Due to the high level of cognitive effort, this service requires two interpreters per booth, who alternate approximately every 20 minutes. It is ideal for conferences and congresses.When the venue is unable to host booths, a dedicated workstation may be used with an audio-transmission system and earphones for listeners. For scenarios with only one or two participants, the translation can be whispered directly into the ear, without equipment.

Consecutive – The interpreter is in the room, alongside the speakers, and translates after each block of speech, drawing on notes taken. This is a longer approach but enables greater precision and interaction. It is recommended for presentations, interviews and meetings with a limited number of participants.

Business – The translation is done sentence by sentence, with limited note-taking. This is an ideal approach for commercial negotiations at trade fairs and in showrooms.

Can I request remote interpreting for online meetings?
Yes! I offer remote interpreting services for meetings on Zoom, Teams and other platforms, guaranteeing the same professional standard as in-person interpreting, without travel expenses.
Do you take on projects with multiple languages in addition to Italian, English and French?
Yes, drawing on a consolidated network of specialist colleagues, I am able to coordinate projects in many languages, guaranteeing terminological consistency and a single point of contact for my client.
Why work with a human professional instead of using automatic translation tools?
Automatic tools translate words, not context. In commercial negotiations, board meetings or strategic documents, a missed nuance can compromise the business relationship or lead to serious legal liability. A human professional reads the context, manages unexpected situations as they arise and assumes responsibility for the results.
Does it make sense to always work with the same language professional?
It really does! Every company has its own lexicon, technical terms, internal naming and tone of voice. Working with clients on an ongoing basis enables me to develop shared terminological resources that guarantee consistency across every project, avoiding the kind of discontinuities that are common when constantly switching suppliers.
How do you protect confidential documents and strategic data?
I guarantee the utmost confidentiality and am happy to sign an NDA before the start of any project. Documentation shared is handled according to strict privacy protocols and never processed using automatic tools that store or utilise your data.
Do you only work in Bologna or do you provide services across Italy and abroad?
I am based in Bologna but I am available to travel across Italy and abroad for events, trade fairs and projects that require services to be provided in person. For everything else, I also offer my services remotely.

How much do technical translation, interpreting and writing services for international businesses cost?

My fees vary based on the duration of the event, the length of the text and the complexity of the project. As a guide, translation and writing services start from €150.00 for technical texts up to 500 words, simultaneous interpreting from €550.00 per day and commercial support at trade fairs from €300.00 per day.
