Legal and Medical Professional Translation Services

Some may underestimate the need for professional translation services. In an interview with a legal language interpreter, who also does medical Spanish interpretation, I learned some great insight on how it is to interpret in a legal and medical setting. This Spanish interpreter described the importance of his profession. He described a story in which he was interpreting in a hospital for a man who was deathly ill. While providing Spanish translation services, he translates each and every word without adding any additional words and remains completely objective. His tone mirrors the doctor in every way.

While performing a medical translation the patient's family asked him whether there was anything more the doctor could do for their loved one. The doctor answered no, but it wasn't until he gave the Spanish translation, which is the same in English 'no', that the family began to cry. It was a moment he would never forget - a moment that reminded him to always provide professional translation services. That accuracy in a medical translation means everything. At times when he was performing a Spanish translation service and he felt further explanation in Spanish was necessary, he would always ask permission of the attorney or doctor first before providing the additional Spanish translation.

For this language translator, the well being of the ESL person is most important above anything else. IU shares this belief and prides itself on providing calm, professional translation services including document translations in over 130 countries.

Texas Spanish Translation Services and Spanish Language Interpreters

After visiting Houston, Texas I’m convinced that no Spanish interpreter will go hungry. This goes for anyone offering professional Spanish translation services as well. This was clear to me when I spent time in the Galleria and neighboring shopping areas. Everywhere I went people were speaking Spanish. And they were not all in the same dialect either. Their were quite a bit of Spanish speakers from South America. This emphazies the point that one must work with a Spanish translation service that offers Spanish language interpreters in various dialects and experience.

It’s not enough to know Spanish since it is a language used differently based on the cournty of origin. If you need a Spanish language translator, contact IU and we can help determine the Spanish dialect you need. IU can then provide the translation services that meet the dialect being used. Do not rely on a Spanish translation service that does not ask enough questions. One that does not ensure there is a match between the type of Spanish spoken and the language tranlstator that will be sent to interpret. Contact IU to learn more about our Spanish translation services and our ability to ensure accuracy in the interpretation.

Becoming a Professional Translator

In order to obtain a career in the professional translation service industry, your level of education should be a 4-year college degree at the minimum in additional to having proficiency in both a source and target language. You also must have subject matter expertise in the area you wish to translate.

Professional translation service agencies are not looking for a person who is fluent in a language. Being a language translator requires very different skills than being a professional language interpreter. If you intend on specializing, that is, working for a Spanish translation service or medical translation agency, master Spanish and all the dialects and culture nuances that affect a translation. For medical translations, you must be proficient in all medical terminology and again, knowledgeable of culture nuances that affect the language you are translating.

In order to obtain work in as a professional language translator, we suggest the following:
  • Study and live in the county whose native language is the language you are interested in translating
  • Be proficient in desktop publishing and word processing along with other basic computers skills i.e. familiarity with working with PDF files
  • Create a collection of resources and equipment, i.e. Online reliable dictionaries, fax machine, email, printers…..
  • Become familiar if not purchase the various translation software tools available
  • Continue to read periodicals, books, text books and other documents in the language you are translating
The professional translation service industry is growing at an increase rate, which means there is a lot of competition. Prepare a detailed CV which highlights your knowledge of a language and your proficiency of a subject, valuable for Spanish translation agencies or for those looking for medical translation.

Medical translation services are needed all over the World. Although based in the United States, Interpreters Unlimited is able to receive a document from anywhere, perform the medical translation service or Spanish translation service, whichever the case, still within a three-business day turn around.

With President Obama and many members of his staff on the way to India, there is much talk about trip expenses that fall on the tax payers. Part of these expenses could be allotted for professional translation services, medical translation, language interpreters, or other translation services. Although it is up for discussion what is a necessity and what is not, I feel confident to say that expenses toward a professional language interpreter or professional medical translation, if needed, is worth it. Course, I could be bias.

Spend the extra amount on a professional that is qualified to provide medical translations, or Spanish translations, or any in-person language interpretation. Get a free estimate on your next translation you need.

Medical Translation for FIFA Website

October, 2009 FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association) proudly launched a web-based service promoting better public health through playing soccer. This site will include news about FIFA as well as medical techniques as it applies to soccer.

As we all know, FIFA has an international following, which means, their website must be presented in numerous languages. With the launch of this new site, professional medical translation is a must. This site will have information written for physicians, physiotherapist and other medical professionals. Therefore, this site must have accurate medical translations keeping in mind proper dialect, cultural nuances, and accurate translation of medical terminology.

Medical translation for content on a FIFA website or a patient in-take form, cannot be left to non-professional, non-trained language interpreters. Contact a professional language translator for your next medical translation. Interpreters Unlimited™ is offering a free iPad for a medical translation or any other translation that is at least 50 pages. Contact us today.

Tips on Learning a New Language

To have the ability to speak more than one language is priceless. After all, the world is getting smaller right? Language translators are in demand more than they have been in years. Nowadays even the smallest businesses have some connection to countries thousands of miles away. A housewife in San Diego, California can’t afford to start her home-based business selling children books and toys without utilizing labor from China. How hard is it for her to communicate with her business associates without a language translator? How hard would it be for her to learn Chinese or any other second language. It’s difficult, but not impossible. The following are some tips for those of you on a quest to learn another language. You may not be pursuing a career as a language translator, but these tips should help.

Be realistic with your expectations. Being in a language class may be uncomfortable at first, but it’ll get easier if you relax and keep in mind why you are here. You will make mistakes, not sound that good, have a crummy accent, and so on…but expect that and know that these are just steps needed to learn the language. Expect that you will be lost and overwhelmed. Keep in mind that it takes time and although you don’t feel like you are progressing that fast, you’ll be amazed of how much you are actually picking up.

Focus on Vocabulary. The more words you know the better. It is very empowering to be able to enter a living room and know the name of each furniture piece in the language you are learning. Learn the basics first, but expand into the everyday phrases that will come in handy. Remember, the goal isn’t to be a language translator, but to at least be able to carry on a conversation.

Practice, practice, practice. If you are able to find someone who speaks the language you are learning, ask them to only speak that language to you. Immersion is one of the best ways to learn another language. In fact, many professional translation services give preference to those language translators that have been immersed in a language by living in that country for an extended period of time. The closest to immersion may be your class, so make the most of it. Practice with your classmates and instructor.

Microsoft Translating Telephone

Technology is amazing. Microsoft is amazing. TechFair2010 held in Silicon Valley featured the latest and greatest innovations including Microsoft’s Translating Telephone. This machines acts as a language translator. With two people wearing headphones, the computer will listen and provide consecutive interpretation. We viewed a demonstration of this language translator telephone and were not surprised by the results. It proved again that a machine cannot replace a human language translator. Don’t get me wrong, the translating telephone is a very cool tool that does give each person the gist of what the other is saying, but it was evident that this machine could not be relied upon in cases where errors in a translation service can be detrimental or even fatal.

In the demo we could see that simple questions like “Do you like football or basketball?” or “What is your favorite type of food?” were easily translated by the language translator tool. However, a question like “How long have you been working on this program?” lead the technician to describe what the functions of the program were instead.

There will always be language translator tools that try to perfect the art of accurate and reliable professional translation services. It will truly be amazing when someone develops a language interpreter tool that matches dialect, idioms, culture influences, and regional accents as a professional human language translator does daily and with ease.

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.
