Finnish Interpreter

Finnish interpreters must pass a Finnish oral examination as part of the process for becoming a Finnish interpreter associated with Alpha Translation Svcs, Inc. A successful completion of the Finnish interpretation test signifies interpreter is minimally competent to interpret from Finnish to English or from English to Finnish. Exam also guarantees Finnish interpreter's fluency in both Finnish and English. Bilingual professionals aspiring to become Finnish 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.

Finnish Proficiency

The exam administered to Finnish interpreters focuses on the bilingual professional ability to speak Finnish and English fluently and forcefully. It also addresses Finnish interpreter's competence as far as accuracy in both languages is concerned. Such ability must be demonstrated in both Finnish simultaneous interpretation and Finnish consecutive interpretation. Furthermore, the exam addresses English and Finnish phonetics; the goal is to make sure that Finnish 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, Finnish interpreter might have to do a sight translation of a document written in English. Under these circumstances, sight translation will consist in interpreting the Finnish translationorally.

Finnish Consecutive Interpretation

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

Long and Short Finnish Consecutive Interpreters

Alpha Translation Svcs, Inc. partners with a team of Finnish consecutive interpreters with expertise in legal, medical Finnish interpretation. Our Finnish interpreters abide by all interpretation ethics including the Code of Professional Responsibility for Interpreters in the Judiciary. Our Finnish interpreting service includes short consecutive interpretation in which the interpreter's memory must be impeccable, and each interpreting segment should not exceed a sentence or two. In addition to short Finnish consecutive interpretations, our Finnish interpreting team provides long consecutive interpretation where each segment of the message lasts longer.

Finnish Liaison interpreter

Finnish Liaison interpretation occurs when the interpreter acts as a cultural, language intermediary between two individuals, or small groups. Finnish 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. Finnish liaison interpreter is expected to be a Finnish native speaker fully proficient in both Finnish and English. Many consider Finnish liaison interpretation as a sub-type of consecutive interpretation. As part of the interpreting practice, Finnish interpreters need to develop their personal bilingual glossaries, with a list of terminology in both English and Finnish.

Finnish Simultaneous Interpreter

When a multilingual audience participates in a conference, seminar, meeting... where speakers perform in several languages which include Finnish, a Finnish 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 Finnish consecutive interpretation where one interpreter has to pause, Finnish simultaneous interpretation does not pause. Finnish simultaneous interpretation requires special equipment such as booths, headsets, microphones, transmitters and receivers. Alpha Translation Svcs, Inc. has a pool of professional Finnish interpreters who can provide Finnish simultaneous interpretations not only anywhere in Florida but nationwide and even internationally. We can also assist with equipment rental with a sound engineer who will be present from the beginning of the project to the end.
