Interpreting. If you are coming to China on business, we can arrange for an interpreter to meet you at the airport. The interpreter can be native Chinese, or Native Western, whichever you prefer. China can be a scary place if you have never been here before. Our interpreter can also give you all the inside information you need to make your stay the most comfortable and stress free. Our interpreter will accompany you to all your business meetings while you are here, and can also be available 24 / 7 should you require.
"Interpreter In Your Pocket". This is a service whereby you can call our interpreters on their mobile/cellular phones to get interpreting as and when you need it. You simply purchase a block of time up front, and you can call anytime you need. You can continue to call and get interpreting services as and when you need until your credit runs out, at which time of course you can purchase another block of time. This is great if you don't want the expense of having a translator with you 24/7, but still need professional interpeting services now and again, on a regular basis.
Mediation. If you are currently engaging in business with China, or would like to begin engaging in business, we can act as a mediator for you. Some companies are unable to communicate in English at all. For the companies that do have English ability, sometimes the meaning can be lost in their translation. We can act as a go between for
you. All forms of communication can come through us in both directions. We will ensure the correct meaning is translated in both directions, because we use a team of Native Chinese AND Native Western interpreters. See below for more information.
Translation. Translating can be a very tricky business. Many ideas and meanings can easily be lost in translation. It is very difficult to accurately translate in any language, especially colloquial expressions, figures of speech and slang. Think about it, how do you think a Chinese person would understand things like : "don't beat around the bush", "a rolling stone gathers no moss" or "don't put your eggs all in one basket". On the other hand, how do you understand these Chinese expressions : "one needle see blood" (meaning = you hit the nail on the head), "open door see mountain" (meaning = get to the point) or "three hearts two meanings" (meaning = to be of two minds, undecisive).
Our team of Bi-lingual Native Chinese AND Native English work together to ensure the true meaning is not lost whether it is English to Chinese or vice-versa. Just email us any material in English or Chinese and we will accurately translate it for you.
