Highlights

I have been an interpreter and supplier of interpretation services since 1984 and a member of AIIC since 2000. I therefore have 40 years’ experience of organising teams of interpreters, mainly in the Pacific region, including nine years as a staff interpreter-translator at the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC), where I often took on the role of team leader.

Like my colleagues, I have kept abreast of recent developments in remote interpreting, and have organised teams for both hybrid and virtual meetings.

Prior to joining SPC, I provided interpreting and translation services at numerous conferences in and throughout the Pacific from my New Zealand base, servicing the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Program (SPREP) for 11 years, and co-organising language services with Bertold Schmitt for the two Codex Alimentarius committees then chaired by New Zealand.

Testimonials From Clients

It has been a pleasure to work with Patrick Delhaye of Calliope Interpreters for the 3rd Clean Pacific Roundtable, and with a team that has been so organized, aware and capable in all aspects of preparing and delivering these sessions. Having a partner that was so qualified and experienced in all aspects of delivering an event was a privilege. Your thoughtfulness, patience and reminders with the materials and calendar invites were much appreciated. And equally, your thoughtfulness, patience and agility with the technology were admired.

Hermes Huang, Managing Partner, InsightPact

Patrick Delhaye and his team made a significant contribution to the success of our international event, the 2021 Clean Pacific Roundtable, which was held online for two weeks in November 2021.

Their professionalism and unquestionable expertise in both technical matters and interpretation, together with their interpersonal skills, made it possible for us to communicate our message across all the nations which participated in this event.

It was a real pleasure to work with the experienced and reliable team from Calliope Interpreters.
