TWO TYPES OF INTERPRETING SERVICES

Consecutive Interpreting


Consecutive interpreting service is the most regular used interpreting service among all the interpreting services. This service normally happens when your speaker delivers a few sentences and then wait for the consecutive interpreter to translate what has been said into another target language for the listener.

Our on-site consecutive interpreting service is suitable for one-on-one or small group meetings, such as seminars, business meetings, interviews, medical consultation, press releases, marriage registration, court hearing, training sessions, and etc. or even whispering to an audience in a conference in order for him/her to understand.

As such interpreting is considerably cheaper than that of simultaneous interpreting because it is not performed in real time and does not require any special types of equipment to support the events.

Simultaneous Interpreting


Simultaneous interpreting normally happens when the interpreters’ translation is delivered at the same time with what is said by the speaker, which mean both happens at the same time.Simultaneous interpreting commonly used for formal international conferences.

When the interpreters are providing simultaneous interpreting service, it is recommended that they can be two for one language pair. This is because when they sit in a soundproof interpreter booth working in turn will be easier and transmitting their translation to audiences through audio transmission equipment.

Simultaneous interpreting has to be done real time, therefore our interpreters must translate right at the first time. Hence, those interpreters require experienced interpreting skill and able to respond quickly. To ensure we provide quality production, all of our simultaneous interpreters have a minimum of 5 years professional experience. Majority of them have in-depth knowledge in their specific fields, such as medical, legal, life science, IT, finance or banking. Moreover, TRANSLIFE only allows native speakers to work with you in order that your audiences are 100% satisfied with the interpreting service.  

TYPES OF INTERPRETER


01 On Site Interpreter

Interpreters are available at your chosen venue to interpret for one-on-one or small group meetings conducting medical interpretation or business interpretation. Our interpreters make sure that both parties can communicate their message effectively and accurately without any misunderstanding. 

02 Conference Interpreter

For meetings with larger and formal settings e.g. blockchain technology conferences, simultaneous interpretation is required to translate proceedings simultaneously for the audiences while the speakers are speaking. Simultaneous interpretation will ensure the audiences understand the speeches without interrupting the speakers.

03 Telephone Interpreter

A simple yet cost-effective way to communicate with business partners overseas is with an interpreter-assisted conference call. The interpreter can work remotely via telephone or — an even more cost-effective option — via Voice-over-Internet services such as Skype. This option is also good for an adhoc or urgent need of interpretation without prior arrangement. 

04 Cultural Interpreter

Interpreters can accompany your overseas visitors on sightseeing or cultural excursions. They can help to explain the sights to your foreign visitors in the native language, helping your guests to have a more fulfilled experience - the perfect end to a successful business trip.

PRICE RATE OF INTERPRETING SERVICES 


Hiring a professional interpreter is never easier task especially those have experiences no matter you are in Malaysia or any part of the world. Furthermore, price is another factor which everyone believes price equals quality. You can never hire an experienced interpreter with a low price. 
  1. When you plan to engage professional interpreting services, the first thing you need to decide is the types of interpreters you need. There are mainly 2 types which are consecutive interpretation and simultaneous interpretation. 
  2. After you decide whether it's consecutive interpretation or simultaneous interpretation, now you need to choose the technicalities required. The more technical topics you are going to discuss, the more important choosing an interpreter who know the technical topics in depth. 
  3. Another important aspect is you need to make sure you only choose native speakers for the target language you plan to translate to. For example, during a simultaneous interpretation for a conference, if your audience is a group of Japanese businessmen, you want to use native Japanese over local Malaysian. 
After confirming the requirements above, then you may start getting quotations according to the length of interpretation services and the venue.
