Translation, Interpreting and the importance of finding the right service and agency

2011-01-06T03:13:00.000-08:00

Hello my dear friends,

I would like to share some experience with you. Maybe most of you visiting my blog are fortunate bilingual speakers.Why not take advantages from the skills you have got and earn money from the services I can offer you.In the current situation the markets are globalized and industrial people move and establish business in different countries destroying all the borders of national and geographical boundaries. However there are still some factors which hinder the smooth flow of business. The major problems is the language. Billions of people speak thousands of languages, it is estimated that at present more than 4000 languages are in use. It is impossible for any person or a firm to master all these languages. But they should provide their products and service in the local language of the customer.

Here the translation agencies that provide professional Interpreter and translation services come into play. The translation and interpreting services are more critical if you are on a business trip to foreign countries to meet your client or for any other official matters. This article gives you the insight of the importance of translation and interpreter services on business trips.

• The main reason for using the interpreter service is to enable you to communicate in languages that you are not compatible with. On business trip you badly need such service. It is mainly because you have to respond to your client or other officials, communicate and understand what they speak. You shouldn’t expect them to communicate in English or your native language. Customers should always feel that they are valued and respected. If they feel difficult to communicate with you then you are going to lose your customer. The interpreter can bridge this gap and can help you to grow your business.

• Escorting is another great advantage of using interpreter and translation services of the professional agency. These professional translation agencies apart from providing interpreter service they also offer escort service to you. They will send a representative to receive you at the airport and will stay with you until your job is completed.

It is really good to have someone help you to talk with the hostess at the reception in a hotel, talk with a local person and other similar tasks because your client isn’t the only person with whom you are going to communicate in your business trip.

• As usual in business you can hire interpreters in varied range of budget. If you can’t afford an expensive interpreter service then you can choose a cheaper one because unlike the translation service only the native persons provide the interpreter service. So, you can rely on them if they have somewhat good knowledge in English or whatever is the language of your choice. But you should take more care in choosing your interpreter if you are going to sign any legal document or anything which may cause devastating effect if something goes wrong. Usually people do business trip to sign up new agreement or renew them. So, in such cases you need a very reliable and ethical person as your interpreter because in some countries legal documents are accepted only in their native language, so you can’t read the document in international language (English) or your native language. You are totally dependent on what your interpreter translates to you. So, you have to choose a well reputed and experienced interpreter without caring too much about the money. Usually the interpreters charge heavily for translating legal document but it is worth the money.

All the above suggestions help you to understand the importance of using translation and interpreter services on your business trip. So, do follow me here if you are interested in earning very good income no matter are you student or certified interpreter or translator.

The project is called Global Interpreto Danisto (Dani100) or GID100.The aim is to gather translators and interpreters all around the world for assigned translation and interpreting services.
As the demands are huge, participation is welcome and well appreciated by becoming one of our team.The main jobs are assigned online.These are send to the translator for processing, and received back from the client via the GID100 online service.
Interpreters usually receive assignments for online or offline interpreting ( via chat and audio service) directly with the client at the appointed time and date, thus called simultaneous interpreters and usually non certified. The GID100 controls all the assignments and payments to your bank or PayPal account .Registration and identification are compulsory as you become legal employee or self employed team member depending on your status. More details you can find on the GID100 website.

Wish you all good luck and Happy New Year
Daniela

It is very important to know that there is a list of financial helps and benefits you can get if you are on a low income and you find it difficult to keep up with your expenses, bills, cost of living etc.
They depend on your circumstances ( employment, marital status,how many dependent kids,are you lone parent,are you working part time or full time etc.)
Insider's tips:
If you are only working part time less than 16 hours/week the best you can do is contact the Job center office and see an adviser.They will help you with finding a better job and prepare you for an interview.
Lone parents are entitled to various financial benefits-Tax Credits and Child benefits (contact the Tax Credits office help line online or by phone), Housing benefits and free school meals and uniforms (Council office), Help with free prescriptions, (contact your GR) but all depend on your individual circumstances.
For families where both parents or partners work but their income is considered as Low income there are financial helps and the best you could do is go to Advice shop on South bridge ( no appointment required and speak to an adviser.
The advices are free and confidential.There you can get the application forms you need and get help with the process.
The most helpfull websites are the ones of the institutions I have mentioned above as well as Direct.gov,
HM Revenue & Customs.
Hope this information is helpful

Finding accomodation

2009-08-13T06:30:00.000-07:00

Finding accomodation you have few options:

Short stay-visitors:
-Hotels, Hostels, Guests houses, B&B

Long stay:
-by newspaper ads (Evening News Edinburgh, Scotsman or their websites)
-by Estate agents
-by the most popular website Gumtree Edinburgh (and cheapest way)

Insider's tips:
Before you decide on how to find the accomodation and what source to use consider your financial situation.To find the right place consider whom you want to live with-if you are student you might look for common life style-search for student accomodation.
If you are on a budget look for a rent with bills included.
The cheapest way to find a RENTED PROPERTY is to check the private ads in a flat or houseshare on Gumtree website.
You will avoid administrative fees (which estate agents charges you apart from rent and deposit).
