Interpreters Make a
Difference in Outcome

Have you heard a phrase or seen the movie, “Lost in translation?” It is crucial to have accurate and smooth interpretation. At one company I work with, an engineer thought he understood English pretty well, and did not use a qualified interpreter. He did not hear “not” in a sentence spoken by an English speaking engineer, subsequently designed the facility a incorrectly, and had to spend a couple million dollars to fix the error. There are numerous cases of lost business and cost due to poor communication.

Accolades

I felt as if I had a perfect understanding of the English spoken at the meeting, not realizing that Setsuko was interpreting simultaneously for me.

“It’s always great to work with Setsuko san. I was handling one of the most important projects that needed great attention to facilitate an Eng-Jpn interpreted interview. She perfectly accommodated all the difficult requests and I got great feedback from all interview participants. I’ve been working with many professional interpreters, but I truly believe she is the best person to go to.”

Simultaneous -On site

Target language Interpretation is given simultaneously while speakers are speaking in his own language to the listeners through headsets. This type of interpretation is often used in global conferences and needs interpretation equipment.

Simultaneous- Remote

Interpreters remotely interpret the langauges. The meetings can be physically placed in a large room, but only the interpreters connect with the listers by a special app, softeware. Another application is web-conference. Each participant including interpreters may join the meetings through web meeting, such as Zoom.

Consecutive- on site

Interpretations are done after a speaker pauses. This does not require any equipment; however, meetings last twice long for interpretation. Suitable for depositions and small strategic business meetings.
