Differences between interpreting services
Knowing the differences between the three main ways of interpreting are, will be helpful when it comes to deciding which one will better cover all the specifics of your request. These three standard options are OPI, VRI, and On-site. Even though all three options can be applied in any interpreting assignment, sometimes one will meet all the requirements while the other two will not. It will depend on the availability of interpreters in the area, the willingness to travel, the language, the time zone, or if the client can financially cover it.
Interpreting in Chicago, IL
Chicago is one of the largest cities in the United States, with a substantial population and a wide variety of international communities. It is also known for its bold architecture and its many museums. The tourist sector is indispensable for Chicago´s economy and growth. The city receives many visitors daily and has opened its doors to everyone, welcoming them to stay for as long as they want. Consequently, English is not always the primary language spoken in the area, and we can also find a large community of Spanish-speaking people.
Other common languages in the city are ASL, Chinese (including Mandarin and Cantonese), Polish, Tagalog, Urdu, and Arabic. So, finding an interpreter for these languages in the area (On-site assignments) is more accessible than in other U.S-American cities. But VRI and OPI are always available if an On-site interpreter cannot be located for a specific project.
