How To Deliver excellent Language and Interpretation Services
For accurately interpreting different subject matters there are many talents good interpreters need, and of course everyone brings their very own unique qualities. The Stepes translation agency tried to find a couple of universal character traits a good interpreter should have – next to speaking foreign languages proficiently: We suggest you read texts out loud to improve your fluent speaking skills, build confidence and communicate flawlessly. Successful public speakers also use this method. Summarizing texts helps you filter out main points strengthens you accuracy and deepens your understanding of language structure. Choosing a target language and practicing for future engagements with a friend is perfect – make sure you chose a realistic environment; you can even dress accordingly to enhance the effect of the exercise. You can try the same over the telephone.
Flexibility is an important factor in a freelancer’s life. Every engagement is different, interpreters have to deal with new people and locations on a daily basis – but of course this is one of the major advantages of a freelance lifestyle. Many linguists also join an professional association for career building support and make contacts.
Empathy is just as important. Successful interpreters look into the people they are working for and analyze wishes and demands when communicating. We all know body language is an important factor! It’s almost as if professional interpreters have to act. These acts can differ according to the subject matter.
Of course, confidence can’t be left out in this summary. A professional and certified language interpreter knows how to sell him/her self – and the client’s wishes. The flexible lifestyle of a freelancer demands confidence every day.
Last but not least, we’d like to again point to our assignment rules in our Etiquette Guide. If you’re a pro, you probably know them all. However, to give all our clients the same Stepes Experience, it is important to us to set these ground rules and ethics.
