Translation and Interpreting Services most common questions

Q. What about Machine Translation?

A. Machine translation feebly approximates live language. It cannot accurately translate cultural concepts, semantic (meaning) phrases that belong to specific contexts such as law, sports, medicine, theater, literature, business, insurance, banking, music, education …the list goes on and on. Machines can do translation of rigidly limited pairs of words with unambiguous meanings and with set syntax.

Definitely, language is dynamic and fluidity is geographical, demographic and contextual. It’s very complex!

Languages evolve, and you want your translation to be vital and readily understandable to the people you have in mind. Only humans translate language accurately and fluently. Don’t hang your organization or enterprise out to dry with amateur or artificial translations. You deserve respect and relaxation after getting a translation done!

Q. Does just one person do my translation?

A. Every translation is ‘triaged’ by a project manager, who assigns it to one or more experts in that language and field. The translation is later checked by a professional translator working in the opposite language direction of the original translation.

Q. What is the difference between “interpreting” and “translation”?

A Translation is written language, interpreting is spoken language.

Q. How long does translation take?

A. In some instances, it can take just as long to translate a document as it does to write it in English. It is best to allow 3-5 business days for most documents, longer for larger files.
