WHY CHOOSE OUR INTERPRETERS?

Our Malay interpreters are professional certified interpreters with more than 5 years of interpretation experience. They know how to handle difficult situations during critical moments such as unexpected interferences during press conference or a sudden presentation of contents not provided upfront. Due to the vast previous experience handling countless incidents, you can trust our interpreters to continue staying calm and translating to deliver the best outcome.

CERTIFIED

Our interpreters are also certified by Court, ITBM (Institut Terjemahan & Buku Malaysia) or PPM (Persatuan Penterjemah Malaysia). Due to the certified status, their translation and interpretation work are officially recognized by Malaysia government agencies, Judiciary of Malaysia, Parliament and foreign embassies.

SUBJECT EXPERT

A professional linguist with no technical knowledge about a particular industry can be a disaster if you overlook this fact when hiring an interpreter. How can you expect someone who has been studying only about art and culture to be able to translate fluently about oil and gas or even engineering subjects? Our interpreters are the subject matter expert in their respective technical verticals which you can fully trust them to do a good job.

WHAT KIND OF INTERPRETERS DO I NEED?

INTERPRETER CATEGORY

CONSECUTIVE INTERPRETATION

It's the most common interpretation category in the business world. There will be an interpreter (jurubahasa) standing close to the speakers who are in charge of translating all the conversations sentence by sentence following after the speakers. Many companies engage consecutive interpretation for their business meeting, corporate visit, internal training, press release and public presentation. In Malaysia, when foreign politicians or corporate visit government agencies, this category of Malay interpreters plays a critical role to convey the right messages during meetings. Unnecessary disputes can be avoided by having a good interpreter to facilitate the whole communication process.

SIMULTANEOUS INTERPRETATION

This category of interpretation requires not only interpreters but also a full set of interpreting devices i.e. booth, transmitter and receiver. The interpreter in the booth will translate concurrently with the speakers without stopping. The audience will listen to the translation via the receiver headset. Many international conferences held in Malaysia require the organizers to prepare simultaneous interpretation for Malay language pairs as many Malay audience would prefer to listen in Malay rather than English. As MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferencing, Exhibitions) activities in Malaysia are getting more and more popular due to our strategic location and the costs involved, Malay simultaneous interpretation talents play a crucial role to localize the foreign content and globalize Malaysia contents to the world. 

TOUR GUIDE / WHISPERING INTERPRETATION

If you need to guide your foreign visitors around visiting several locations, this is the perfect solution. In order to perform this kind of interpretation, you will need a portable transmitter together with a numbers of receivers. The Interpreter can translate on the go as all the audience will listening to their respective portable receivers. This form of interpretation is also suitable for venues which have limited space and cannot have any interpreter booth setup. The Malay interpreter can sit at one corner which has the lowest interference from the sound system and translate without interrupting the whole meeting. 

HOW MUCH IS MALAY INTERPRETATION?

Depending on the category of interpretation, the prices differ greatly. Generally simultaneous interpretation will cost more than consecutive interpretation and tour guide / whispering interpretation due to the difficulty of work. Compared to a full day Malay consecutive interpretation which costs you around RM1,500 or more, Malay simultaneous interpretation may cost you RM2,500 or more per pax. But for simultaneous interpretation, any language pair will require a pair of interpreters to take turn to translate. This means that the cost will be multiplied by two. On top of that, you will need to rent simultaneous interpretation system (SIS) for conference usages which will increase your costs even further.
