Interpretation Services
Expertise and Competence in Interpreting
While translation is the process of changing written content from one language to another, and it is usually done some time after the text was created (sometimes months or years after the fact), interpreting means doing it orally in real time, leaving little opportunity for research or polishing the text. Overall, interpreters listen to the spoken message, understand its meaning, and transform it into new message in the target language.
Interpretation can take place in person / on site, or remotely by telephone or through a video call, via Zoom, Skype or similar online platform. This task requires professional interpreter to preserve the tone of the message as well as the meaning behind it following the context of the conversation. That is why in addition to being experts in the specific subject area, interpreters should be fully proficient in both the source and target language and culture, and to know the spoken customs and colloquialisms of each language.
Interpretation services are becoming very important for business. Many companies are trying to expand their horizons and interpreting services permits them to converse with the target audience without any language barriers.
There are three main types of interpretation services:
- Simultaneous or Conference Interpretation. This is undoubtedly the most difficult type of interpretation services because it requires an enormous level of concentration. The interpreter must render the message very quickly, shadowing the speaker.
- Consecutive Interpretation. Here the interpreter listens to a speaker for some time, possibly takes notes and then interprets what has been said, usually in portions of several sentences. This type of interpretation works well when time is not limited, for example during seminars, conferences, business negotiations, etc.
- Remote Phone/Video Interpretation Services. With technological advances, this is becoming one of the most popular interpretation services because it is much easier to schedule and provides significant convenience and savings.
