Different types of Interpreting
In the world of interpreting, you can usually choose from the option OPI (over-the-phone interpreting), VRI (video-remote interpreting) or on-site interpreting (face-to-face interpreting). Due to the different nature of every interpreting assignment, not every option will be a great fit. Therefore, it is important to consider the client’s needs and requirements.
Interpreting in Norfolk, VA
Market forces determine supply and demand in the world of interpreting services. VRI and OPI would be the only options for interpreting if a particular area lacks demand and resources. Therefore, some cities have communities where English is not the primary language spoken at home. For example, Norfolk, VA has Vietnamese and Korean communities, so the probability to be able an in-person interpreting assignment is high.
Norfolk in Virginia is the home of a lot of Spanish speaking communities. But there are also ASL, Vietnamese, Arabic, Korean, German, and French communities to be found. It can be difficult to source a language in a specific city. For example, organizing an on-site interpreting assignment for Bosnian in Norfolk, VA can only happen if the budget considers travel. There are very limited resources in Norfolk for Bosnian interpreters, and if a client wants the interpreter to be on-site, they will need to travel to the city. However, there is always the option to book VRI or OPI instead.
Interpreting for the Education Sector
Every industry faces its challenges as the world around us is constantly changing. Globalization requires adaptation and analysis. A language service company should be engaged in various industries, primarily because it provides languages for various industries. Our business has always adapted to the world’s changing circumstances and provided our clients with outstanding language services.
The educational sector started to book a lot of VRI and OPI interpreting assignments during the pandemic. We at American Language Services covered interpreting assignments for all kinds of meetings, IEPs, events, conferences, and many more. Most of these meetings in the educational sector required to be on-site, but the pandemic restrictions changed this.
