Language Interpreters Who Work Abroad

No one can argue the benefits of being proficient in another language other than English. Even having a little knowledge of another language can open up opportunities that would normally not be attainable. For many, living abroad is a dream. This dream can come true for those who have enough knowledge of another language to become a language interpreter or provide other translation services. Of course, I would be remiss not to mention the importance of learning about the culture of the country one plans to work at as a language interpreter.

After gaining this priceless experience of being a language translator while living in another country, the next logical step would be to join a professional translation service. Interpretation agencies like ours value language interpreters who have not only the proficiency of a language but the in depth knowledge of the culture and practices of a certain group. This only adds to the accuracy of an interpretation or translation.

Being a language interpreter takes more than knowing a source language and target language. From our experience of working in this industry for nearly 40 years, our best interpreters are those who have experience living overseas or are native to that country.

American Sign Language Interpreters

It is impossible to understand the life of those hard of hearing or hearing impaired. But American Sign Language interpreters understand best! American Sign Language interpreters play a vital role for the deaf who live in this hearing world. ASL interpreters help the deaf get through doctor appointments, court proceedings, and other sessions where language causes a barrier in communication.

A language translator for American Sign Language can attain different levels of certification. It’s not just about knowing ASL; it’s about understanding the culture as well as the ethics of being a language interpreter. Language interpreters must remain objective, accurate, timely, professional, and honest, just to name a few requirements. The professional of language interpretation and translation services has come a long way. Do not just rely on someone who says they are proficient in a source and target language; work with professional language interpreters and professional translation services.

Medical Translation for Prescriptions

Many pharmacies across the globe rely on computer generated medical translations for their prescription labels. On paper this is an efficient means of getting a medical translation of not only the bottle label but any instructions that need to accompany the prescription. However, in practice this system has proven to be unreliable.

Researchers from Dartmouth University surveyed almost 300 pharmacies where close to 50% of the population is Spanish speaking. These pharmacies in Bronx, New York showed grammar mistakes, medical translation errors, and spelling errors. The potential consequence of this is quite alarming: Patients not taking proper dosages, not understanding side effects, or not knowing how this drug mixes with other medications, just to name a few.

It is detrimental to believe a language translator tool or software can replace a human language translator. The medical industry is one place no one can afford to compromise on using a professional translation service; in fact it could be fatal.

Inaccurate Online Language Translator Tool

Have you used those online free language translator tools? They seem so easy and accurate, and free! But, you must understand you are getting what you paid for. These language translator tools cannot compare to using professional language interpreters or professional translation services for written document translation projects. These tools are quite handy for looking up quick vocabulary translation. That is, searching for a single word translation. However, if you really want an accurate translation, you won’t get it from these online language translator tools. These tools are notorious for incorrect word usage, grammar mistakes, dialect mistakes, and inaccurate translations. They are not reliable. Do not use an online language translator tool for anything you want translated accurately. Use a professional!

Why Use Spanish Translation Services?

With over 45 million people, nearly 15% of our population, speaking Spanish at home, why would you use professional Spanish translation services? First off understand that when we speak about Spanish translation services we are referring to written document translations.

Translating English into Spanish takes more than verbal proficiency of Spanish. This person performing the Spanish translation needs to:

• Be proficient in English
• Have superior writing skills
• Have exceptional knowledge of grammar in both languages
• Be a subject matter expert - terminology plays a big role in a translation, especially with medical translation
• Be proficient in Word, using PDFs, and other file formats
