Professional Interpreter Services

Do I need an interpreter?

There are many situations in which an interpreter is necessary or beneficial. If you conduct business in another language, an interpreter will make any sale, meeting, or consultation run a lot smoother and help keep everyone comfortable and confident without any language barriers. This may increase revenue and avoid lost opportunities, since people often feel most comfortable making major financial decisions and large purchases in their native language. In some situations, if you have foreign employees or work with official medical or legal organizations, interpreter services may even be required by law!

​

What are the different types of interpretation?

There are many types of interpretation, depending on the situation, the people involved, and the specified requirements, but no matter the situation, we can help!

The most common types of interpretation are as follows: 

• On-Demand Interpretation

  • a type of on-call service that does not need to be scheduled in advance and can be arranged last minute with very little notice.

• Consecutive Interpretation

  • this is when the interpreter waits until the speaker finishes to begin interpreting, typically taking notes in the meantime. This type of interpretation is usually ideal for interviews, consultations, and small meetings.

• Simultaneous Interpretation

  • this is when the interpreter begins interpreting before the speaker has finished their thought and is still speaking. This type of interpretation is usually ideal for large meetings, and large events.

• On-Site Interpretation

  • this is when the interpreter travels to the client and performs the service in person.

• Telephonic Interpretation

  • this is when the interpreter performs the service over the phone.

• Remote Video Interpretation

  • this is when the interpreter performs the service over some type of video call or video conference software.

In addition to the above common categories of interpretation, we can cater to common Interpretation Specialties such as, Medical Interpreting, Legal Interpreting, and Business Interpreting.

Can I Use Machine Translation?

While machine translators with spoken functions, like Google Translate, are a widely available option, they are very limited in their ability to contextualize, interpret and express non-literal language, and localize to cater to a specific region or dialect. Because of these limitations, it is NOT advisable to use machine translators for important and official situations, as machine translation may lead to misunderstandings, which may end up confusing or insulting your client, employee, or business partner, and may even tarnish your reputation, cause injury to somebody or their property or even result in law suits! 

​
