What is Telephonic Interpreting?

Telephonic interpreting is a professional service that connects human Interpreters (via the telephone) to individuals who wish to speak to each other but do not share a common language. The Interpreter bridges the gap and converts the spoken language from one language to another in real-time, enabling listeners and speakers to understand each other.

Needs Assessment

Listed below are some of the many disadvantages (and dangers) associated with language barriers and foreign

travel:

• Language barriers affect the travelers’ ability to communicate clearly, which can be a very scary and stressful situation, especially during a medical and / or legal encounter overseas.

• Language barriers have the potential to negatively impact the travelers’ overall experience when visiting a foreign country.

• Language barriers may, in many cases, instill a sense of fear and anxiety in the traveler.

• Concerns over getting lost, the need to communicate and ask for help and the embarrassment of making a mistake, all position INTERPRETRAVEL® as “The Traveler’s Tool of Choice” to bridge the communication gap.

Needs Assessment

Carlson Wagonlit Travel Survey

Survey-takers were asked to rate 33 stress factors that occur at different stages of a journey (from booking through to transportation, hotel stay and expense report) according to the level of stress generated.

The study also highlights how different segments of business travelers perceive travel stress:

• Travel stress increases with age and travel frequency.

• Women report higher stress levels than men.

• When faced with a language they do not know, business travelers from North America indicate greater stress levels than travelers from other regions.

• Senior executives report higher stress levels than travelers at other levels of an organization.
