Interpretation Services

Professional Interpreting Services: A Revolution in Communication

Professional interpreting services are a kind of verbal translation conveyed by a professional interpreter through an immediate translation of the spoken language into the audience’s preferred or chosen language. For instance, the United Nations’ meetings solely rely on the interpretation of the spoken language in order to transmit the message that is being spoken to the entire audience, who are undoubtedly from all around the world and who speak hundreds of different languages.

Why Columbus Lang When it Comes to Professional Interpreting Services?

Columbus Lang’s team has a number of interpreters with a variety of backgrounds that meet all of the needed qualifications to become a professional interpreter. A linguistic university degree with a comprehensive and clear understanding of both the source and the target language is the least of what we expect when we hire our interpreters. Additionally, we let our applicants go through challenging assessments that detect their accuracy and compatibility to become a part of our team of interpreters that provide accurate interpreting services.

Interpretations Types Based on the Business Need to Get Professional Interpreting Services

Just like the written translation; interpretation also has various types that differ from each other.

Simultaneous Interpretation: This is the first type and is the most common one; it can also be called the live interpreting service. This type of interpretation service occurs live, while the speech is being spoken, usually, the delay between the speech and its live interpretation is about twenty to thirty seconds. In some cases, the recipients of the interpretation wear headphones so they can directly hear the interpreted words without outer noise or interruptions and this is the type that is used in the United Nations’ meetings.
Consecutive Interpretation: This is the second type in which the speaker talks for a few minutes then they take a pause to allow the interpreter to translate and convey their verbal message. This type allows many parties to communicate which makes it a popular method of professional interpreting services in legal and formal meetings. It can be in person, or over the phone, as long as the speaker can deliver their message to the interpreter; it doesn’t matter where the interpretation process takes place.
Over the Phone Interpretation: In the US and some other countries, the national authorities frequently deploy interpretation over the phone in cases concerning healthcare or environmental considerations. There are some other types of interpretation services that are used all around the world, but these are the ones that are most demanded to ensure the most accurate interpreting services.

Columbus Langs’ Live Interpreter is The Go-to Option for Your Next Meeting!

At Columbus Lang, we are well aware of the fact that the service of professional and accurate interpretation entails a whole lot more than merely translating a few words from one language into the other.

Live interpretation is a service that is not something that any interpreter can do; however, it is a difficult task that necessitates the use of a specialized live interpreter.

Translation vs. Interpretation: What's the Difference?

Despite the vivid resemblance between interpreters and translators, interpretation and translation need separate core capabilities. However, the gap between both professional translation and accurate interpreting services is frequently misunderstood. The significant contrast between the professional interpreting services and translation services, on a broad scale, is that auditory translations are handled by interpreters, whereas textual translations are undertaken via translators.

On the subject of translation and linguistic abilities, translators must be capable of reading, absorbing, and producing in the language that is targeted.
On the other hand, interpreters must have the core knowledge of how to manage their mental abilities in order to produce material considerably faster, and sometimes on the spot, with access that is close to nothing to any immediate outer guidance.

Adding to the list a bunch of other differences between the two services; one of which is that interpreted context is supposed to be supplied right away; while the translated document does not have to be delivered on spot. Furthermore, the accuracy result of the interpretation cannot be a 100% since it happens instantly without any modifications or corrections, just as long as the message is unchanged and comprehended, yet the translation accuracy is a guaranteed 100% at Columbus Lang because we take our time to produce a perfectly revised content that goes beyond the bounds of expectations.

Modern standard arabic translator

Differentiating between Egyptian Arabic and Modern Standard Arabic Translator: Is It That Big of a Deal?

It is not a trivial fact that the Arabic language is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, with over 420 million native speakers and about 28 countries using it as their first language. This eventually leads to the development of several Arabic dialects over time and it is plausible to estimate that around 25 Arabic dialects are spoken worldwide, which is not a light number in any way. However, the most used one is the Modern Standard Arabic, as it is generally shared and used amongst a huge variety of Arabic speakers all around the globe.

Adding the Egyptian Arabic to the list of the most used Arabic dialects, as it is somehow close to the Modern Standard Arabic and is also well-understood amongst the Arabic speakers. In addition to that, Egypt is actually the country with the most Arabic speakers with over 100 million people communicating in Egyptian Arabic. Many movies, plays, and songs feature the Egyptian Arabic dialect, and some authors incorporate it in their writings as well.

Arabic Content Localization: What to Expect from Columbus Lang in That Area?

Because Arabic is a widely spoken language, it is frequently requested as a target language for large projects. Arabic content localization is critical since Arabic is the most widely spoken language and it is also amongst the official languages of the United Nations in addition to it being the primary and first language of about 28 countries throughout the world.

For all those reasons and some more, Arabic content localization is a field by itself in the localization industry. That’s why, at Columbus Lang, we have managed to assemble and dedicate an entire team of Arabs who are solely and completely focused on Arabic content localization and who have also been through numerous testing phases to ensure that they completely understand the difference between all of the Arabic dialects in order to accurately finish the content localization jobs they got assigned to with the intended dialect without any mix-ups with any of the other Arabic dialects. For these reasons and a bit more, you cannot be in doubt when sending any Arabic content localization project to Columbus Lang and their Arab team.

Modern Standard Arabic: The Leading Arabic Dialect

At Columbus Lang, when we receive an Arabic content localization request with no specified dialect, we always make sure with our clients that they do not want any specific dialect first, and then we always go for the Modern Standard Arabic content localization. Modern Standard Arabic is our preferred option because we are well aware of the fact that it is understood and used by most of the Arabic speakers; additionally, it is also taught in universities in a variety of majors and it is used in numerous other means of important communication. Columbus Lang’s Modern Standard Arabic translators are linguistically experts in localizing the content perfectly to match the Modern Standard Arabic content localization requirements.

A Modern Standard Arabic translator obtains a greater grasp than any other Arabic translator of the origins of any other Arabic dialect since the Modern Standard Arabic acts as a core of the Arabic language which makes it the leading dialect amongst all Arabic dialects. On the other hand, other dialects’ translators will not be of the same knowledge of other dialects as a Modern Standard Arabic translator, for their knowledge will be limited to the dialect they specialize in.

The Biggest Request of Them All: English to Egyptian Arabic Translation

One of the most frequent and common requests we consistently receive at Columbus Lang is English as the source language and Egyptian Arabic as the target language. English to Egyptian Arabic translation is one of the easiest tasks we receive yet one of the most significant ones, for it has got big volumes and it requires attention to the details that are incomparable. Our team is well aware of the difference between the Modern Standard Arabic and the Egyptian Arabic and they have also been through tests differentiating both dialects and they are willing to go through additional examinations to demonstrate their efficiency to handle any English to Egyptian Arabic translation projects. And as stated before, we have chosen a team of Arabs that is linguistically aware and apprehensive of the grammatical, structural, and cultural variations that exist across all of the Arabic dialects, but especially the Modern Standard Arabic versus the Egyptian Arabic.

It is rather convenient that if you are looking for a trusted partner whose team is of enormous knowledge of Egyptian Arabic that you choose Columbus Lang to handle any and all English to Egyptian Arabic translations that you have in hand. We go through many quality assurance phases after the translation, editing, and proofreading of the translation is done so that you would not find any slight mistranslated in the final delivery of your project.
