Below you'll find answers to the most common questions our clients ask about our professional translation and interpreting services.

When should you call an interpreter?

You should call an interpreter whenever clear communication in multiple languages is essential for business success. This includes legal proceedings, medical appointments, business meetings, conferences, depositions, trials, and any situation where miscommunication could have serious consequences.

Which industries benefit from your services?

Our translation and interpreting services benefit a wide range of industries, including legal firms, healthcare organizations, government agencies, Fortune 500 companies, financial institutions, educational facilities, and international businesses. Any organization that works with multilingual clients or operates in global markets can benefit from our knowledge and expertise.

What is the difference between translating and interpreting?

Translation involves converting written documents from one language to another, while interpreting focuses on oral communication in real-time. Translation allows for careful consideration and revision of text, whereas interpreting requires immediate language conversion during conversations, meetings, or events.

What is consecutive interpretation?

Consecutive interpretation occurs when the interpreter listens to a speaker, takes notes, and then delivers the interpretation after the speaker pauses. This method is commonly used in depositions, small meetings, and one-on-one conversations where accuracy and detail are paramount.

What is simultaneous interpretation?

Simultaneous interpretation involves real-time translation while the speaker is talking. We use specialized equipment to provide accurate results. This method is ideal for conferences, large meetings, and multilingual events.

What languages do you offer?

We provide translation and interpreting services in Spanish, Creole, French, German, Hebrew, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and several Scandinavian and Asian languages. Our team of certified linguists provides accurate communication across all language pairs.

How long does it take to deliver translation results?

Translation delivery times depend on document length, complexity, and language pair. Simple documents may be completed within 24-48 hours, while complex technical or legal documents require additional time for accuracy. We provide realistic timelines during the quote process and offer rush services when needed.

What equipment is used during translation or interpretation services?

For simultaneous interpretation, we use professional soundproof booths, wireless headsets, microphones, and audio transmission equipment. Translation services require advanced computer-assisted translation tools, terminology databases, and quality assurance software to ensure consistency and accuracy across all projects.

What certifications does your team have?

Our linguists hold relevant certifications from recognized professional organizations and have extensive experience in their specialized fields. We maintain strict quality control procedures and require our team members to demonstrate proficiency through rigorous testing and ongoing professional development.
