Interpreting
Mobile interpretations are more commonly referred to as Mobile translation. It is the process of providing audio translation using any electronic gadget (such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets) or an application software. Mobile interpreting is a great method to overcome language barriers in real time.
It is a professional translation service which caters to individuals who wish to communicate with another person who do not share a common language via an electronic device or platform based application.
What Does Mobile Interpreting Involve?
It is a three-way communication which involves a professional interpreter or translator and at least two people who speak different languages and who want to communicate with each other. One of the individuals selects the language pair like English and Spanish and once the connection is successful, the client speaks in his language. The interpreter then translates the spoken words allowing the other party to listen to be able to respond. The other person on the line speaks in his or her native language then it will be translated back and relayed to the other person’s language. The interpreter must have excellent skill in both languages.
