Interpreting

“The number of languages spoken in Ireland is unclear. One thing is certain though: a lot of people living and working in this country do not have a good level of English. It takes a long time to learn a language to proficiency level.

Even those who have a reasonably good level of English many not have enough when it comes to certain situations such as visiting a GP, going to hospital, being questioned by Gardai or appearing in court as a witness or a defendant. This is where interpreting comes in. In these situations it is essential that a competent interpreter be available.”

Mary Phelan, “Interpreting Services in Ireland, Setting Standards and Establishing Systems”

Word Perfect’s interpreters are skilled professionals who can provide accurate interpreting by simultaneous interpreting, consecutive interpreting, telephonic interpreting or whispering.

Simultaneous interpreting (also known as conference interpreting) is used for large conferences, business meetings, media launches and live TV broadcasts, and when two or more languages are in use. Word Perfect interpreters will translate into the target languages while simultaneously listening to and comprehending the next sentence.

Consecutive Interpreting is most appropriate in a smaller setting, such as business meetings, depositions, medical examinations, interviews, and presentations. Consecutive interpretation involves a speaker pausing after completing an idea and the interpreter translating what was just said. Word Perfect’s consecutive interpreters are highly trained professionals who are capable of translating in both directions while maintaining similar intonation, style and tone as the speaker.

Telephone interpreting is very useful for emergency situations and is increasingly used as a cost-effective way of interpreting, where a face to face meeting is not essential. As a leading provider of telephone interpreting in Ireland, Word Perfect offers a very simple to use and extremely effective service. Word Perfect interpreters are accessible on a 24/7 basis by a low call telephone number. Our customers are put on hold for no more than 90 seconds and then connected to the most suitable interpreter.

Whispered Simultaneous Interpreting: in some situations, for example in the
District Court, the interpreter whispers the interpretation to the defendant.

Medical Interpreting. There is no room for errors when it comes to the lives of patients and time for communication delays when every second counts. A doctor is dependent on the information conveyed by the interpreter in order to obtain an accurate medical history. Precise information is essential in order to make a diagnosis. Informed consent cannot exist where parents do not understand exactly what they are agreeing to.

Word Perfect Medical Interpreters are qualified, vetted, trained and tested specifically for working in medical environment. This is why we have been awarded many hospital tenders, which reflects our commitment to deliver the best possible results for our customers.
