Arabic Interpreter

Arabic interpreters must pass a Arabic oral examination as part of the process for becoming a Arabic interpreter associated with Alpha Translation Svcs, Inc. A successful completion of the Arabic interpretation test signifies interpreter is minimally competent to interpret from Arabic to English or from English to Arabic. Exam also guarantees Arabic interpreter's fluency in both Arabic and English. Bilingual professionals aspiring to become Arabic interpreters with legal expertise must possess a strong understanding of court procedures. It is also imperative that they be familiar with basic justice system concepts and legal terminology.

Arabic Proficiency

The exam administered to Arabic interpreters focuses on the bilingual professional ability to speak Arabic and English fluently and forcefully. It also addresses Arabic interpreter's competence as far as accuracy in both languages is concerned. Such ability must be demonstrated in both Arabic simultaneous interpretation and Arabic consecutive interpretation. Furthermore, the exam addresses English and Arabic phonetics; the goal is to make sure that Arabic interpreter has ability to pronounce correctly. Foreign accent in either language does not pose a problem as long as pronunciation does not affect meaning. Occasionally, Arabic interpreter might have to do a sight translation of a document written in English. Under these circumstances, sight translation will consist in interpreting the Arabic translation orally.

Arabic Consecutive Interpretation

For clarification purposes, it must be pointed that Arabic consecutive interpretation is a mode of interpreting. Categorizing a Arabic interpreter as Arabic simultaneous interpreter or consecutive is more a mode than a profession. As a mode, Arabic consecutive interpreter waits after each segment from speaker to render its content into English language; therefore, Arabic consecutive interpretation requires pauses. Arabic interpreter first listens to a complete segment of speech, for example in Arabic and renders this segment into English. To illustrate what Arabic consecutive interpretation entails in a courtroom, Arabic interpreter memorizes English language questions and interprets them into for example Arabic. Because of the constant pauses, consecutive interpretation lasts longer than simultaneous.

In addition to short Arabic consecutive interpretations, our Arabic interpreting team provides long consecutive interpretation where each segment of the message lasts longer.

Arabic Liaison interpreter

Arabic Liaison interpretation occurs when the interpreter acts as a cultural, language intermediary between two individuals, or small groups. Arabic liaison interpreting is normally a face-to-face encounter for a particular purpose at a state or federal agency. Business meeting, teleinterpreting, diplomatic meeting can fall within this type. Arabic liaison interpreter is expected to be a Arabic native speaker fully proficient in both Arabic and English. Many consider Arabic liaison interpretation as a sub-type of consecutive interpretation. As part of the interpreting practice, Arabic interpreters need to develop their personal bilingual glossaries, with a list of terminology in both English and Arabic.

Arabic Simultaneous Interpreter

When a multilingual audience participates in a conference, seminar, meeting... where speakers perform in several languages which include Arabic, a Arabic simultaneous interpreter is needed. Depending on the length of the interpretation, two simultaneous interpreters will work together in interval of 30 minutes to 1 hour to interpret the speaker's speech in total fluency and rapidity. As opposed to Arabic consecutive interpretation where one interpreter has to pause, Arabic simultaneous interpretation does not pause. Arabic simultaneous interpretation requires special equipment such as booths, headsets, microphones, transmitters and receivers.
