What is English translation?

English interpretation is the act of converting simultaneously or consecutively English spoken text into another language without changing the meaning in the source language. In this case, English is the source language and the interpreted language is called the target language.

An English interpretation process usually takes place as follows: Listening -> Linguistic analysis according to circumstances, cultures -> Expressing in the target language so that the listener can accurately understand the meaning of what the speaker have spoken. Interpreters need to possess some basic qualities such as a sharp mind, flexibility, good communication skills, and especially the ability to maintain the timing.  

Demand for English Interpretation Service

English is a common language, which is spoken by over a quarter of the world’s population. In particular, as the major financial centers with significant economic roles are based in the UK and the US, English has become the default trading language.

In Vietnam, along with the development and expansion of international relations, the demand for languages usage, especially English, is on the rise. English has become a compulsory subject from elementary level (even from preschool level in big cities) to university. However, that does not hamper the field of interpretation. On the contrary, with the language’s increased essence in daily life and trading; administrative and commercial transactions; international cooperation,… the demand for English interpretation tends to increase.

The 4 types of interpretation we offer

Consecutive interpretation

This is a form of consecutive interpretation, that is, after the speaker finishes a sentence/ idea/ dialog, the interpreter will interpret and convert the conversation into the target language.

Consecutive interpretation is suitable for conversations with few participants, such as: interviews, press conferences, presentations, commercial transactions, negotiating – signing of contracts,…

Simultaneous interpretation

For this type, the interpreter will interpret in parallel with the source language (the speaker) so that the listener can receive information at the same time. Simultaneous translation is the most challenging type of interpretation, requiring the interpreter to possess high expertise and top skills. At Tomato Media, interpreters are able to fulfill these requirements.

Simultaneous translation is suitable for important interpretation sessions with a large number of participants, such as seminars, conferences; courts; lectures in class, …

Indirect translation

Similar to simultaneous translation, but more complicated in nature, the interpreter will have to interpret indirectly from another interpreter to help listeners understand the meaning of the conversation.

An example to make it easier to picture this type of interpretation: A conference of delegates from 4 countries including Vietnam, China, Laos and the Philippines will need 3 interpretation cabins, using English as a common language: English – Vietnamese cabin, English – Chinese cabin, English – Lao cabin, English – Filipino cabin. When Vietnamese delegates speak, the interpreter at the Vietnamese cabin will interpret into English; after that, the interpreter at the other cabins will interpret into Lao, Chinese, Filipino respectively so that their delegates understand, and similarly when the other country delegates speak, the interpreter at the cabin will interpret into their own language.

This type of interpretation is suitable for: summits, seminars, world economic forum conferences,…

Special interpretation

Special interpretation means a form of interpretation in small voice, interpretation simultaneously with the speaker in small voice, whispering into the listener’s ear.

This type of interpretation is suitable for a small scale with few listeners: Negotiating – signing contracts, internal meetings, court proceedings, …
