When
you don't have the language capability in your workforce but need to communicate
in meetings, conferences, exhibitions or even over the phone, interpreting is
a good short-term solution. It can ensure communications don't break down and
lead to missed opportunities; and it shows the effort you are prepared to make,
which can make or break a deal.
Types
of interpreting There are lots of different kinds of interpreting, depending
on the context and what you need from the exchange.
Guidelines
on using interpreters To make best use of an interpreting service, there
are several things you should also keep in mind.
How
to select an interpreter You need to be aware of the professional associations
that support the profession and ways of finding quality-assured providers of interpreting
services. Our pocket guides on Business Interpreting and Conference Interpreting
are available from the CILT
website.
