2. We will ask you a few questions, take some details and assign you with a unique telephone number and ID.

The service is used for both the public and private sectors.

Telephone Interpreting for Public Services

We have teams of interpreting staff specially trained to deal with the general public in situations such as healthcare, security and emergencies.

We are able to pre-arrange specific interpreting assignments to cover more in-depth healthcare issues. For these assignments, sex, subject knowledge and even experience of the interpreter can be chosen.

We also have a selection of interpreters who are CTC cleared and work within the boundaries of the Official Secrets Act (1989), if you require one of these please let us know before the assignment begins and we will be able to make provision for it.

Telephone Interpreters for Business

Our Telephone Interpreting service can be seamlessly integrated into your own business procedures enabling you and your teams to communicate instantly in any language. This helps to dramatically improve your communication with both the diverse home market and with customers overseas.

In other words we make your call centre speak any language.

Used to expand the functionality of primarily English language call centres, this service helps to save your company money by adding ad hoc multi-language functionality to your operations.

Other types of Interpreting

Other types of interpreting can be supplied for different situations. These are explained (in brief) below.

Face-to-Face Interpreting is sometimes called liaison or ad-hoc interpreting. It is a two way form of interpreting – meaning that all parties present can take part in a discussion.

Simultaneous Interpreting is referred to as whispering interpreting. Simultaneous interpreting is useful for larger events where only a few participants require translation.

Conference Interpreting is used at large events such as conferences where there are more than a few participants who require translation.

Sign Language Interpreters can be provided to assist people with hearing difficulties, whenever necessary.
