Telephone Interpreting Service in Nepali

Working together with our experienced and qualified translators, voiceover artists, interpreters, audiovisual translators, transcribers and subtitlers, we offer a wide range of language services.

Available in over 200 languages within the UK and beyond, our linguists can get you heard in any language of your choice. While we do not offer a walk-in service, we are only one phone call away from discussing your language requirements.

Nepali telephone interpreter versus on-site interpreter

There are many reasons why you might prefer access to a telephone interpreter over an interpreter attending on-site.  It is all down to the situation.

You have a client based abroad and neither of you speak the other’s language. You need to speak to them quickly as a situation has occurred requiring urgent attention.  You don’t have time or the budget to meet in person.  What could be easier than to pick up the phone and have an experienced interpreter join the call and to smooth the way?

You are a social worker and need to talk to relatives of one of your clients based 80 miles away.  Arranging a face-to-face meeting between all the parties could take weeks to put together and many miles of travel.  Instead, our operator can connect all the relevant people by phone in an instant.

You have a medical emergency on your hands and the injured person speaks Nepali but not much English.  You need to ask him some questions about his condition.  There simply isn’t time to arrange for an interpreter to attend on-site.  If you have a telephone interpreting account with us, you can simply dial in to be connected with an appropriate interpreter straightaway.

How does our telephone interpreting service work?

It really couldn’t be simpler.  Opening an account with us takes less than 2 minutes, is free and gives you 24/7 access to experienced interpreters in over 200 languages.

You will only be charged for actual usage of the service.

Setting up a telephone interpreting call is simple:

1. Telephone the interpreting hotline number, state your name, the name of your organization and your password or PIN.
2. Let the operator know that you require Nepali.
3. In the case of conference calls, give the phone numbers of any additional lines you need to be connected to. For example, if you are calling your client at their home or office, you will need to provide this number.
4. You will be placed on hold for approximately 60 seconds while you are being connected to your interpreter. You will also be connected by conference call with any additional lines you have requested.
5. When you have finished your call, simply hang up the phone.

That’s all there is to it!  We think you’ll find the rates competitive too.

How is the cost for telephone interpreting calculated?

• Setting up a telephone interpreting account is free and there are no subscription charges.
• The cost is then calculated by the number of minutes, whether it is a 2-way or 3-way call, international or “local”, “rarity” or otherwise of language, time of day of call.

Get in touch with one of our lovely project managers and they would be very happy to discuss all the available options with you. Do also take a look at the security procedures and infrastructure we already have in place to protect your data.

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

Nepali is a member of the Eastern Pahari branch of the Indo-Aryan language family spoken mainly in Nepal and northern India by about 25 million people. Historically, Nepali was called Khas Kura (खस कुरा, khasa kurā), spoken by the Khas people of Karnali, and Gorkhali (गोरखाली, gorakhālī), the language of the Gorkha Kingdom, before the term Nepali (नेपाली, nepālī) was adopted. The origin of the modern Nepali language is believed to be from Sinja Valley in Jumla. The Nepali dialect Khas Bhasa (खस भाषा, khasa bhāṣā) is still spoken among the people of the region.
