What is Interpretation?
Simply defined, interpreting is all about the spoken word. Interpreters must have a deep cultural and linguistic knowledge of their working languages. They must also possess the ability to instantly, clearly and concisely transpose spoken words from one language to another. Interpreters rely on their language skills gained through training and experience. Interpreters not only interpret, they also function as facilitators between speaker and listener.
Why Hire Wordwise Interpretation Services?
Good interpretation is not only about having a good grasp of language. These qualities define a good interpreter is:
Listening. Interpreters need to be able to pick up on every word, every meaning and every intent. They must then make sense of the message spoken in one language while at the same time delivering the same message to another.
Possess quick reflexes. It is important to pick up the nuances of the spoken message and be able to articulate it comprehensibly in another tongue.
Have cultural awareness. Culture consists of values, beliefs, attitudes and customs. An interpreter must be perceptive to these to avoid misinterpreting and thereby causing an embarrassing moment.
Possess a wide vocabulary. Because interpretation occurs real-time, they don't have the luxury of checking against a dictionary or some reference material. Thus, they must be well-versed with the language, terms used and the subject matter.
Emotional resilience. Medical and legal interpreters can be involved in cases that may be difficult to witness such as emergency medical circumstances or murder trials. In such situations, they must be able to control their emotions, remain calm and be strong emotionally in order to perform their work.
At Wordwise, our interpreters possess these qualities that make them sought after. You can rest assured knowing that our interpreters give you the highest
quality service that you derserve.
