| Do you have an important
meeting scheduled in Beijing, Shanghai, or some hot
developing spots like Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Wuxi,
Kunshan and other cities? Are you planning to give a
marketing presentation to a group of potential clients
in China? Not many of your Chinese counterparts are
fluent in your language. Cultural misunderstandings
can cause unnecessary offence, which may lead to unrecoverable
losses in your business expansion to China.
ALC interpreting service:
As a professional language-service company, ALC
has many of Accredited interpreters, and can provide
an array of interpreting services:
Simultaneous interpreting
Oral translation of a speaker's words into another
language while the speaker is speaking. The interpreter
usually sits in a booth and uses audio equipment.
ALC have contracted some licensed Simultaneous interpreters
who have lots of on-site experiences.
Consecutive interpreting
Oral translation of a speaker's words into another
language when the speaker has finished speaking or
pauses for interpreting. More formal than ad hoc interpreting
and used, for example in formal business meetings,
for negotiations, training sessions or lectures. This
is the service that ALC provides most frequently.
Informal (Ad hoc) interpreting
Spoken translation between two languages in informal
conversations between two or more people. Used, for
example, in business meetings, for phone calls, during
site visits and social events.
Business trip interpreting
In order to make your business trips easier and less
worrying, ALC provides personal interpreters and business
guides, and will also help in booking air tickets
or hotels.
How we go about it:
Instead of providing a pure interpreting service,
ALC focuses on your total communication solutions.
We provide our services in some progressive steps:
Preparation
We'll meet with you in advance to better learn the
details of your requirements and let you know everything
you need to pay attention when formally negotiating
and/or showing presentation plans. This prep-session
can take place on the phone or by email before you
leave for China, at breakfast on the day of the meeting
in China or any other time that is convenient for
you.
On-site Interpretation
Our interpreters make sure that communications between
you and your China counterparts go smoothly, and also
bring your attention to nuances and body language.
If the meeting stretches on to a social event at a
restaurant or other public location, we'll help you
to ease into such a situation. Your knowledge and
comfort with Chinese culture will impress your hosts.
Post feedback
After a meeting, we'll have a short meeting with you,
give you our impressions and insights regarding the
meeting, and suggest follow-up measures that will
be most effective for you. If this is not possible
due to time or space constraints, we'll make an appointment
for another day and/or email you a full follow-up
report.
