INDUSTRIES WE SUPPORT
Business Interpreting Across Every Sector
HOW IT’S DELIVERED
Interpreting Styles for Business Settings
Business interpreting isn’t one fixed format — HI-COM matches the style to your setting.
Exhibition Interpreting
For trade shows and exhibitions, where a specialist who knows your technical vocabulary protects your message far better than a generalist translator.
Liaison Interpreting
Also called bilateral interpreting — one interpreter works both directions between two parties, usually in small groups of five people or fewer.
Whisper Interpreting
The interpreter sits beside you and interprets in real time in a low voice, with no booth or equipment — common in business meetings and negotiations.
On-Site Interpreting
Your interpreter travels with you — to a factory floor, a trade show or another country — for face-to-face support wherever the deal happens.
Business interpreting can call for either consecutive or simultaneous interpreting depending on the format of your event — HI-COM’s team will recommend the right one once we know your agenda.

Message UsFrequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between business interpreting and other interpreting services?
Business interpreting isn’t a separate mode on its own — it describes the setting rather than the technique. Depending on your meeting format, HI-COM delivers it through consecutive interpreting · liaison interpreting · whisper interpreting or simultaneous interpreting.
What is liaison interpreting?
Liaison interpreting — also called bilateral interpreting — is when one interpreter works both directions between two parties. It’s a more informal style than consecutive interpreting and is best suited to small groups of five people or fewer.
What is whisper interpreting?
Whisper interpreting is when the interpreter sits beside you and interprets in real time in a low voice, with no booth or equipment. It’s commonly used in business meetings and negotiations where only one or two people need the translation.
Does business interpreting require any equipment?
It depends on the format. Liaison and whisper interpreting need no equipment at all. For larger meetings or conferences, HI-COM can also provide full simultaneous interpreting equipment — booths · headsets and receivers.
How far in advance should I book a business interpreter in China?
The earlier the better — especially for less common language pairs or interpreters with specific industry experience. HI-COM can often accommodate shorter timelines too — contact the team with your event date to check availability.
Which industries does HI-COM cover for business interpreting?
