About Mandarin
Mandarin is the official language of China and the most widely spoken variety of Chinese. As the national lingua franca, it is used in education, the media and the government throughout mainland China, with the Beijing dialect forming the basis of Standard Mandarin. According to 2010 statistics, around 955 million people worldwide speak Mandarin as their first language.
What types of interpreting service do we offer in Johannesburg?
Simultaneous interpretation during your in-person meeting, event or conference
In simultaneous interpreting, the interpreter translates while the speaker is talking, usually from an interpreter booth, during in-person meetings. For online and hybrid meetings, however, interpreters can attend the session from their own workplace. Our experienced simultaneous Mandarin/English interpreters will ensure that you and your colleagues never miss a word.
Consecutive interpreting
In consecutive interpreting, the interpreter waits for the speaker to pause before translating the message into the target language. They may translate a sentence at a time or provide a summary for longer passages. This method is ideal for bilingual meetings, witness statements, job interviews and press conferences.
Liaison interpreting during guided tours
Whispered or consecutive interpreting is usually used for guided tours. Whispered interpreting is suitable for one or two participants, whereas consecutive interpreting is better suited to larger groups. In this case, the interpreter translates the speaker’s message into the target language when they pause.
