Consecutive Interpretation

The speaker and the interpreter work together as a tag-team, conveying the message in segments. The speaker makes a statement in their language, pauses, and then the interpreter relays the message in another language. This process repeats itself until the speaker concludes their message.

Simultaneous Interpretation

The speaker and the interpreter work in tandem, so the message is received in real-time. The speaker conveys their message in one language while, at the same time, the interpreter relays that message in another language via earphones.

Department of Justice Translation

Introduction

DLS provides translation services for legal documents, which requires legal knowledge and insight into the nuances of the language. Errors could result in lawsuits for malpractice.

Background

The Department of Justice awarded a contract to DLS for a Spanish-to-English translation project in Puerto Rico. The project involved translating handwritten and typed legal documents related to an illegal termination lawsuit. Among those documents were testimonies from multiple parties.
Description of Challenges
Challenges: The turnaround time was short, caution had to be used in translating the nuances in the testimonies due to the legal implications, and accuracy had to 100 percent.

Description of the Solution

DLS vetted and hired linguists with ample experience in court document translation for this 15,000 word project. In order to accommodate the specific requirements of the legal documents, the translators had to match the formatting of the original documents. They were required to provide extensive quality control checks to ensure the translations matched the original documents. The editor hired by DLS worked with the translators on the right choice of legal terminology.

Result

Though it was a tight timeline, DLS completed the task by the deadline. The client notified us that we had exceeded expectations.
