WHAT OUR customers SAY

“Very pleased with the service I got from Language Direct. They were prompt in their communications and delivery of products and their interpreter was professional and sensitive to the subject matter and the client. Will definitely use again and recommend to others.”
Claire Dickinson
Senior Manager
“Two years ago I was completing an initial assessment of a Polish service user, the language barrier made an already difficult case more challenging. If the assessment was not done correctly I would compromise my job of protecting the public. The offender would be a risk of reoffending even after completing their sentence. I was referred to Language Direct by my duty manager. I must say I feel so relieved since I placed my first request. The booking process, the promptness, and the quality of overall service has left me with a great experience. I have since used their service over and over again, for interpreters and translations too of warning notifications, written evidence interview letters etc”

Telephone InterpretingDefining telephone interpreting

This process begins by letting the first speaker speak his thoughts. The interpreter listens, then proceeds to translate it to the language used by the second speaker. Furthermore, this is called consecutive interpreting.

Additionally, the telephone interpreter allows for a smooth delivery of ideas between two people

 

A little bit on the history

The first known telephone interpretation service was done in Australia in 1973. It was then a free service provided for the number of immigrants moving there. In 1981, it gained popularity in the US. The first OPI (over the phone interpretation) service was also introduced there.

In the United Kingdom, this method of interpreting was introduced in 1990. Michale Young, a social activist, in an effort to provide services to small ethnic communities and help alleviate the language barrier, obtained the proper funding for this cause.

Things to remember when doing interpretation over the phone

If possible, the speakers’ backgrounds that may be helpful in the conversation must be provided.

Clear phone connections are important. The interpreter must have a headset with no feedback.
