FAQs
Can you provide language interpretation services for multiple languages and dialects?
Answer:
Yes, Thao & Co. offers language interpretation services covering a wide range of languages and dialects as well as modes of interpreting. Our team of skilled interpreters is proficient in various languages, ensuring effective communication in diverse contexts. Whether you require interpretation for business meetings, conferences, trade fairs and exhibitions or other situations, we can provide the right expertise to bridge language barriers. If you have specific language requirements (for example, whether you need English interpreter, Korean interpreter, Vietnamese interpreter services, English-Vietnamese interpreter, Japanese interpreter, etc.) or any other questions, please let us know, and we’ll be happy to assist you.
What are the key differences between translation and interpretation?
Answer:
Translation and interpretation are distinct language services. Translation involves rendering written content from one language to another, ensuring accuracy and fluency. It’s used for documents, websites, and printed materials. Interpretation, on the other hand, is the real-time oral conversion of spoken language. It’s crucial for conversations, meetings, and events. Interpreters work to convey messages on the spot, while translators have the luxury of reviewing and editing text. Both services require linguistic expertise, but the context and skills involved are different.

How do on-site interpreters enhance communication in various settings?
Answer:
On-site interpreters play a pivotal role in enhancing communication across diverse settings. Some forms of on-site interpreting often utilized in meetings are relay interpretation, escort interpretation, whispered interpreting, professional event interpretation and liaison interpreting. The physical presence of interpreters ensures immediate, real-time language support. In business meetings, conferences, or medical consultations, they bridge language gaps, fostering clear understanding. They also provide cultural context, helping avoid miscommunications or misunderstandings. On-site interpreters adapt to the nuances of each setting, facilitating effective, nuanced communication. Overall, they are indispensable for seamless and accurate intercultural exchanges.

How does remote interpretation work, and what technology is used?
Answer:
Remote interpretation leverages technology to facilitate real-time language support. It involves video or audio connections that allow interpreters to participate from a remote location. Common technologies used include telephones (in telephone interpretation), video conferencing platforms (such as Zoom, Skype, Google Meet, etc.) and specialized interpretation software. Clients and interpreters connect through secure online channels, and the interpreter provides immediate language assistance, similar to on-site interpretation. Remote interpretation offers flexibility, making it a convenient choice for a wide range of settings, including business meetings, virtual events, and healthcare consultations.
Can you provide examples of scenarios where consecutive interpreting is necessary?
Answer:
Consecutive interpreting is essential in various scenarios, such as legal proceedings, medical consultations, and business negotiations. In legal settings, interpreters assist during witness testimonies and courtroom interactions, ensuring accurate communication. In medical consultations, interpreters help patients understand diagnoses and treatment options. Consecutive interpreting is also crucial for business meetings and negotiations, where it allows participants to communicate effectively in multilingual environments, ensuring that important information is accurately relayed. Depending on your requirements, you can choose between consecutive and simultaneous interpreting services.

Can you explain the equipment and logistics involved in simultaneous interpreting?
Answer:
Simultaneous interpreting requires specialized equipment and careful logistics. Interpreters work from soundproof booths, listening to the speaker through headphones and delivering the interpretation through a microphone. Listeners receive the interpretation through headsets. This setup allows for real-time language conversion while maintaining the event’s flow. Coordinating equipment, interpreters, and providing secure channels is crucial. For larger events, a central control unit manages multiple booths. This setup allows for seamless, uninterrupted communication across languages, making simultaneous interpreting a preferred choice for conferences, seminars, and international events. Are you in need of English simultaneous interpreter, Chinese simultaneous interpreter, Japanese simultaneous interpreter, Korean simultaneous interpreter or interpreters in any other languages? Let us know and we’ll get back to you with a free quote right away.

What qualifications and training do medical language interpreters have?
Answer:
Medical language interpreters undergo rigorous training and hold specific qualifications. They typically have advanced proficiency in both the source and target languages, along with in-depth knowledge of medical terminology. Many hold certifications, such as those offered by organizations like the National Board of Certification for Medical Interpreters or the Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters. Training covers ethics, confidentiality, cultural sensitivity, and the intricacies of medical procedures. Ongoing professional development is also crucial to stay updated with industry advancements. This ensures that medical interpreters provide accurate and effective language support in healthcare settings.

How do your interpreters ensure unbiased and accurate interpretation in focus discussion groups?
Answer:
At Thao & Co., our interpreters maintain unbiased and accurate interpretation in focus discussion groups through several key practices. They adhere strictly to a professional code of ethics, which includes impartiality and neutrality. Interpreters refrain from adding or omitting any information, ensuring a faithful rendition of participants’ statements. They also avoid expressing personal opinions or judgments. Additionally, interpreters may seek clarification from the moderator when necessary, to ensure accurate understanding. This commitment to neutrality and precision helps ensure that all voices are heard and accurately conveyed in the interpreted discussion.
How can interpretation and translation support social service agencies and clients?
Answer:
Interpretation and translation play a crucial role in supporting social service agencies and their clients. They break down language barriers, ensuring effective communication between service providers and diverse communities. This enables clients to access essential services, such as healthcare, legal aid, and educational resources. Accurate interpretation and translation also foster trust and understanding, creating a more inclusive and supportive environment. Additionally, interpretation and translation for social services help agencies comply with legal and regulatory requirements, ensuring that all individuals have equal access to vital services.
