Court interpreting

In court interpreting the interpreter helps attorneys and judges communicate with people who are not able to speak Hungarian, or the language of the court. Interpreters are needed in numerous legal situations, including meetings between clients and lawyers, depositions, hearings and arraignments. The role of a court interpreter requires to be familiar with legal terminology and procedures and the particulars of the specific case. Court interpreters usually work alone when interpreting consecutively, or as a team, when interpreting simultaneously.

Translating

Please note, that despite being used interchangeably, interpretation and translation are not synonymous, but refer, respectively, to the spoken and written transference of meaning between two languages..

Translation is the action of interpretation of the meaning of a text, and subsequent production of an equivalent text, also called a translation, that communicates the same message in another language. The text to be translated is called the “source text”, and the language it is to be translated into is called the “target language”; the final product is sometimes called the “target text.”

Proofreading

Proofreading means to look over a piece of writing for errors, watching out for spelling mistakes and grammar problems.

It’s the very last step of the writing process after drafting, editing, and revising. To proofread is to look at the little details of a piece of writing, such as spelling, word choice, formatting, and sentence structure. The proof-reader looks for errors and fix them.

Interpretation equipment

The equipment required for simultaneous interpreting includes interpretation booths (one per output language), interpreter consoles, mixer, transmission system, headset receivers for participants and interpreters, microphones for interpreters and for participants.

Tour guide system is a wireless and portable radio system used to transmit an audio message from a presenter to listeners. A tour guide system consists of a microphone/transmitter for the presenter and receivers with earphones for the audience.

Tour guide systems are used when simultaneous interpretation is needed but for various reasons (lack of room, financial constraints, low number of participants, etc.) the client decides to use this method.

PRO BONO

Pro bono publico (English: for the public good; usually shortened to pro bono) is a Latin phrase for professional work undertaken voluntarily and without payment. Unlike traditional volunteerism, it is service that uses the specific skills of professionals to provide services to those who are unable to afford them. As first in Hungary I commit my time and professional skills to charities, non-profit organizations if I find them worthy causes.
