Translation deals with the written form while interpretation is spoken.

We ask that our clients give us a 24-hour notice for all cancellations as a courtesy. If you are unable to provide a 24-hour notice, the full deposit will be retained by REAL WORLD TRANSLATIONS.

We prefer notification of at least 48 hours but will always try to work with you to accommodate your immediate needs.

We are able to use interpreters who are registered with the court or certified for the requested assignment.

Consecutive interpretation involves a relay in which one speaker says a few sentences, the interpreter interprets and then the other speaker responds.

In simultaneous interpretation, the interpreter interprets at the same time that the speaker is speaking, although a few words behind.

Yes. We have a large database of sign language interpreters and can accommodate most requests for this service.

The interpreter usually delivers interpretation via telephone on a conference call. He or she listens to the conversation first and then proceeds to deliver it into the other language.

Note: Telephonic interpretation and conference calls are available by special request and are limited by circumstance. Please call for rates and availability of this service.
