What The FAQ?
A telephone interpreter facilitates oral communication between parties who speak different languages over a phone line. They listen to the speaker, pause, and then render the message into the target language. They act as a strictly neutral voice, ensuring that the tone and intent of the original speaker are conveyed accurately without addition or omission.
To access phone interpretation services, you typically dial a dedicated number provided by your over the phone interpretation company. You enter your unique access code and select the desired language code. Within seconds, a professional interpreter joins the line to assist you.
While the correct term is “interpreter” for spoken language, you can get a translator over the phone by partnering with Afrolingo. We provide instant access to our OPI services via a mobile app or toll-free number, allowing you to add an interpreter to any 3-way conference call effortlessly.
The role of a telephone interpreter is to enable effective communication while remaining invisible to the conversation. They manage the flow of speech, ensuring parties do not talk over each other, and clarify any cultural misunderstandings if they impede meaning. They are bound by strict confidentiality and ethical codes.
Yes. Professional telephone interpreting services from a certified OPI company like Afrolingo are highly secure.
