5th February 2004, Milton Keynes United Kingdom - K International, the multilingual solutions company, has launched a versatile new service - Telephone Interpreting (www.telephone-interpreting.com). This enables people who speak different languages to converse on the phone, by connecting them with a professional interpreter in a three-way conference call.
The new service has been developed to meet the demands of clients in the corporate and government sectors. For instance, it is ideal for multi-national businesses or companies with clients in different countries. For businesses with a call centre, K International can arrange instant or regular access to a telephone interpreter.
The new service will also be invaluable to government bodies such as Social Services, Job Centres and the National Asylum Support Service, as it will enable them to communicate with people whose grasp of English is poor. Similarly, it will enable local government bodies (such as Housing Associations) and emergency services to convey important messages to people of different nationalities.
K International can arrange a suitable interpreter in less than a minute from its database of over 2,800 highly skilled linguists, who work in over 150 languages. Many of them have specialist knowledge of particular areas of industry, commerce or government. The new service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Rosalba Venturi, K International’s Client Services Director, says: “Telephone Interpreting is a very fast, convenient and cost-effective way of communicating across a language barrier. It gives a competitive advantage to any companies who need to communicate in their customer’s preferred language; and speeds up the flow of information for government bodies.”
There is no booking fee for the service, which is charged on a ‘per minute’ basis. All conversations are kept strictly confidential, with the interpreter remaining neutral throughout. Anyone wishing to subscribe to the service should contact K International’s Sales team, on +44 (0) 1908 670399 or visit www.telephone-interpreting.com.
