Telephone interpreting
Over time, translators’ fields of activity have evolved thanks to technology.
Until recently, it was essential for the interpreter and the participants in the meeting to sit around a table for communication to take place.
Since the 1980s, the drop in the price of long-distance phone calls has led to the development of much more practical techniques.
Telephone interpretation involves putting at least three participants in contact by telephone.
Thanks to the Internet and broadband, what was technically difficult in the early 80’s is now possible from any phone or computer, with the help of various programs and tools.
All speakers can express themselves, if necessary with the help of an interpreter who will translate directly if they do not speak the same language.
What are the advantages of telephone interpreting?
A “physical” meeting between people of different languages often requires one person to travel and the other to use the services of an interpreter, which involves high costs.
With the telephone interpretation service, the meeting can be organized and held in a short time and at a lower cost than a physical meeting of all the participants.
This not only allows the business relationship to be maintained, but also allows urgent production or delivery issues to be resolved directly over the phone.
In finance, B2B negotiations and many other areas, telephone interpreting is now an essential tool for maintaining relationships and making international contacts.
