Three Reasons To Use Birmingham Interpreting Services

Located in the West Midlands of England, Birmingham is amongst the most ethnically and culturally diverse cities in the UK. In fact, it’s second only to London. After all, with a population of over one million people (according to the 2011 census), it’s not surprising there is a vast array of languages spoken. While most people living in Birmingham speak English (80%), languages such as Urdu and Punjabi are spoken by at least 2% of the population respectively. While this may seem small, that’s a total of 40,000 people who speak either languages.

Therefore, if you’re a business looking to connect with these communities, it’s imperative that you utilise translation and interpreting services. By communicating with your audience in their native language, it not only builds trust with them but shows respect for their culture. As a result, your business will be looked upon more favourably by that community versus your competitors.

If you’re still not quite convinced why you should use our Birmingham interpreting services, read on! Here are three reasons from our team of experts:

1. There’s no need to travel unless essential

Gone are the days where an interpreter needed to be seated beside you in order to converse with your audience. Thanks to technology, meetings can be held over the phone and video conference. Therefore, the interpreter can simply be a virtual part of your meeting – rather than travelling to your meeting venue. For you as a business, this means reduced interpreting costs as you don’t have to pay for travel expenses. It also means quicker turnaround times for setting up projects.

2. Interpreters provide clarity and understanding

By using professional interpreting services, you can improve the understanding and compliance between you and your audience. This is particularly important when discussing sensitive topics such as in medicine or law. The interpreter will be able to tell the audience exactly what you’re trying to convey and ensure they understand the message. This will help prevent confusion and any meetings to clear this up after the initial discussion, saving you money in the long run.

3. There are interpreters for all sectors

One of the best things about using professional Birmingham interpreting services is that they can be specialised in the subject matter of your event. If you work in the automotive or finance sector, we can supply interpreters who not only have knowledge of the target language but an understanding of your industry. This is often because this person has previously worked in that area. Therefore, you can rest assured that your audience understands the message you’re delivering completely.
