Why use my services?
Peace of mind
– Time is money. Arranging meetings with your
business partners or colleagues takes time and money. If you
want to make sure that you will all make the most of your
time in meetings where not all participants speak perfect
English at a level that would enable them to understand 100%
of everything that is being discussed, or express clearly what
they want to say, using the services of a good interpreter
can be priceless.
Remove the danger of a language
barrier – Clear communication is absolutely
crucial if people want to have a positive relationship.
Sometimes fail to attend court hearings or post important
documents because the English speaker assumed that they
understood that it is required of them, but they did not.
Although many foreign people have sufficient knowledge of
English to be able to get by in day-to-day situations, they
often find it a struggle to understand legal, business, highly
technical or other specialised terminology. Non-English
speakers always appreciate having an interpreter when dealing
with solicitors, police, courts, medical consultants or in
business context in situations where it is important to pay
attention to every small detail.
Save money
– I am a freelance interpreter and if you book
my interpreting services directly, you can save yourself a great
deal of money. It is common practice for translation agencies
to charge the client 40 – 50% extra on top of what the
interpreter charges.
Save time
– Because I am a freelance interpreter - not an
agency - it means that you will be able to communicate with
me directly, arrange with me all the details of the
interpreting assignment easily and give me any background
information about the situation in which I will be interpreting
for you so that I will be well prepared and able to help you
achieve the desired outcome.
Why
choose me?
Proven track
record – I have been providing
interpreting services since 2001 and have a long list of
satisfied clients. I have a rich experience of interpreting in
a wide range of situations for business clients, academic
institutions, government organisations and private individuals.
Excellent
knowledge of both Czech and English language and also Slovak
– Czech language is my
mother tongue and I keep up to date with the contemporary Czech
language and current affairs in the Czech Republic. Because I
grew up in the former Czechoslovakia, I understand spoken Slovak
and also interpret for Slovak speakers. The Czech and Slovak
languages are very similar and Czech and Slovak people can
understand each other perfectly well without any difficulties.
English is my
habitual language since 1997.
Practical
knowledge of legal terminology and procedures
– Having previously worked as a legal
secretary for two UK based law firms and having qualified as a
paralegal, I feel confident interpreting in situations where
business and legal matters need to be discussed. I have a good
understanding and experience of the English legal system and
business practice.
Focused on facilitating clear
communication – By working for many clients and
interpreting in a wide range of different situations I learned
to listen out carefully for what message each party wants to
communicate and what goal they are trying to achieve in their
meeting or during a telephone conversation. Some of my
clients regularly ask me to make a telephone call on their
behalf, write letters or emails to their
business partners, prospective customers or government
authorities.
Professional Qualifications -
Diploma in Public Service Interpreting (DPSI) and Para-legal
training – I passed the DPSI examination in
2002 and since then have done over 1500 hours of interpreting
for public service clients.
Membership of a
professional organisation
- I have professional membership of an internationally
recognised British linguistic organisation The Institute of
Translation and Interpreting and adhere to their code of
conduct. I am in the process of renewing my membership
with the National Register of Public Service Interpreters.
Charging rates for
Czech Interpreting
If you would like to book
me for a face-to-face interpreting session, please tell me the
exact address of the place where the meeting would take
place so that I can plan the journey and consider travel time.
For face-to-face
interpreting I charge a flat fee per day or per ½ day,
plus travelling expenses. Again, I do not have fixed charging
rates and I agree the prices with my clients for every
individual assignment.
The cheaper option is
interpreting over the telephone or Skype, for which I charge
per hour.
If you would like to arrange a date and time for
interpreting, please send me an email to
Milada@AbsoluteCzechTranslations.co.uk
or call me on +44 (0)1235 770 427 or +44 (0)778
9060 482.
