"The whole [AIB] team possesses excellent interpreting skills."

January 2005

Eleni Efstathiou, Project Coordinator and Marianne Poncelet, Secretary General of the International Yehudi Menuhin Foundation (IYMF)

"The whole [AIB] team possesses excellent interpreting skills. Both speakers and participants commented positively on the interpretation during the conference, and there was a coherent, continuous and clear interpretation during all three days. What adds more to the capabilities of the team is the fact that the conference had a particularly intensive programme, a big number of speakers, quick and continuous changes of language, as well as quite vivid discussions between speakers and participants. The AIB interpreters’ team proved capable of having firm control of the situation at all times, being particularly reactive and responsive. Furthermore, on many occasions the speakers had not prepared their paper in advance. The AIB team was nevertheless alert and receptive, and provided the audience with a sharp and bright interpretation on all occasions. With regard to organisational skills, the AIB proved to be very strong as well. All the team was well organised, in time, having prepared moreover explanatory notes regarding the interpretation during the conference. Furthermore, before the conference the AIB had visited the conference venue to check the interpreters’ booths and that all necessary equipment would be readily available, offering precious advice and help to the IYMF. (...) Finally, the AIB Interpreters’ team has a highly professional and at the same time friendly attitude. They were willing to help solve problems in unexpected situations, making a personal effort to achieve the best result. All the members of the team were very polite and cooperative."
