Why would anyone use an escort interpreter when phone interpretation is available?
Filed in: Interpretation Add comments
(Last Updated On: June 15, 2017)Whenever language interpretation is needed, people would always search for an escort interpreter, although other more convenient options are largely available. Some do this because they are used to deal with a close-by interpreter, others because they don't know other options exist or don't know how to use them.
Phone interpretation is a highly efficient solution when you need to communicate with foreign partners who speak a language you do not understand. You can communicate in real time even using the third party call option. This feature enables you to avoid traveling abroad, but still arrange your communication needs. Phone interpretation can be available through a phone line or through a video conference call. Both of these options are highly advisable in cases when human to human close interaction is not necessary.
But what if you need to have a language interpreter in a court of law? What if, apart from doing business, you need to establish a continuous reliable communication channel? In such cases, the escort interpreter would no doubts be the best approach. On the other hand, phone interpretation, in terms of business needs, would be considered great during pre-selecting stage and once the partnership is established.
Meanwhile, on the investing stage, an escort interpreter is considered highly feasible. Having an interpreter with you would ensure to you a reliable source of information during your meetings. You can always ask your escort interpreter to read and translate a set of documents, an offer or an agreement, even though interpreters don't usually do that. This would be relatively difficult to be handled with the help of a phone interpreter.
It is true that an escort interpreter (in person interpreter) bears a lot of costs. It is generally more expensive than using phone interpretation. But, as we previously mentioned, in the investing stage, when you are about to establish a new partnership, an escort interpreter has a larger contribution in terms of human to human communication in comparison to a phone interpreter. Thus, this might be considered one of the situations when an escort is the appropriate solution even though phone interpretation is available.
