Hindi Simultaneous Interpreting Service In Bedfordshire

Qualified and experienced Hindi simultaneous interpreters

There are a number of forms of interpreting, but you can roughly place them within 2 categories:

• Consecutive
• Simultaneous

Consecutive interpreting is when one person speaks in one language, leaves a pause, and meanwhile the interpreter will verbally interpret what has been said in the other language.

Simultaneous interpreting is much more intense. Two interpreters will work in tandem delivering the interpretation at the same time as the speech. Because of the intense nature of simultaneous interpreting, the interpreters need to cover each other during regular breaks to ensure no disruption of the service.

Each interpreter will speak their own language plus one other completely fluently. They usually feel comfortable interpreting in both (sometimes three) directions.
For conferences taking place in Bedfordshire, the interpreters will generally sit in special language interpreting booths or if providing the service remotely via video link, they will use dedicated interpreting channels.

Hindi whispered interpreting or chuchotage

This is a lower tech version. The interpretation is delivered simultaneously but without the aid of any equipment such as a booth, microphones and headsets. The interpreters literally whisper. For obvious reasons, this form of interpreting isn’t always practical or desirable.

Simultaneous interpreting equipment for venues in Bedfordshire

We can also supply and setup all the simultaneous interpreting equipment you may need.

The equipment is designed especially for events where simultaneous interpreters will be working using wireless infra-red transmitters and headsets to relay the speaker to all interpreters, without any need for extra cabling. A trained technician will install, operate and remove the system at the end of the conference. We also provide portable ISO approved booths for the interpreters where a mobile solution may be more appropriate such as a factory visit.

Our Hindi simultaneous interpreters

Working in teams of two, our experienced simultaneous interpreters work at conferences and venues in Bedfordshire and elsewhere around the world. Our simultaneous interpreters must be able to supply evidence relating to skill in:

• a native tongue;
• a language other than the interpreter’s native language, of which he or she has a perfect command and into which he or she works from one or more of his or her other languages;
• any languages of which the interpreter has a complete understanding and from which he or she works.

Hindi simultaneous or consecutive interpreter?

Under what circumstances would you choose a Hindi simultaneous interpreting team over a consecutive interpreter?

A consecutive interpreting solution may work better for small meeting places where perhaps one person present does not understand the source language. This could be in situations like a human resources meeting, a meeting with a solicitor or a court hearing.

For circumstances where there may be a larger number of people needing to understand each other and almost instantaneous comprehension of the words without a time delay is necessary, a simultaneous interpreting solution would be more appropriate. This might occur at conferences, events, congresses and other mainly formal meetings where a number of people attending will speak different languages.

How is the cost for simultaneous interpreting calculated?

• The cost depends on the language(s)
• The cost depends whether the interpreter will need to attend on-site in Bedfordshire or via video link.
• The cost depends on availability of particular interpreters on date and time in question.
• The cost depends on whether we are providing simultaneous interpreting equipment

While you’re here… some quite interesting facts about the Hindi language.

It is the main language used in the northern states of Rajasthan, Delhi, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand and Bihar. Itis spoken in much of north and central India alongside other languages such as Punjabi, Gujarati, Marathi or Bengali. In other parts of India, as well as in Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan, Hindi is understood, and there is a significant number of Hindi speakers in South Africa, Mauritius, Fiji, Suriname, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago and Nepal. In Fiji people of Indian origin speak Hindi, and in some areas the Fijian people also speak it. Hindi, written in the Devanagari script, is one of official languages of the government of India – the other official language is English. Both languages are used in parliament, in the judiciary, in communications between the central government and state government, and for other official purposes.
