More Tips For Bengali Interpreters

I know some Bengali Interpreters are very busy and some rarely get
work.The reason could be the difference in how you market yourself.
There are plenty of work available if you know where to look.
Lot of interpreting work is available in the healthcare and social
services.
Then there are solicitors' firms,courts,Prison services etc.
And never forget the opportunity to do translation and transcription
work as well.
Female interpreters have another advantage here.Sometimes clients
ask specifically for Female Interpreters.( you can understand if it is
a lady and she has some medical condition and she does not feel comfortable
to be with a male interpreter.Lot of elderly Bengali ladies are 'old fashioned'
and I don't mean it in any wrong way.I respect that and that is also part
of our culture)
Couple of interpreting agencies have approached me to find female bengali interpreters in the recent past.So if you are a female bengali interpreter
and do not mind some extra work, you can contact me.I will put you in touch
with the relevant agencies.
But the main thing is you have to be good and competent.You should always
maintain your high professional standard and abide by the codes of conduct.
Always remember your role as an interpreter and don't do anything which goes
against your specific role.

Tools For Bengali Translation

Today let me tell you a bit about different tools which may be
helpful if you are a Bengali interpreter/translator.A lot of
times interpreters are asked to translate documents/letters etc.
In the last year I have been approached quite a few times and I
have done them quite happily.
Some of you are probably familiar with 'Bijoy'software.
But I know about another one. Its called 'AVRO Phonetics'.
As the name suggests it follows phonetics so you do not have to
spend time learning the 'Keyboard'.I found it useful. May be you
can let me know your own experience or opinion.
By the way it's free.And I am not getting any commission etc. for
recommending it.It's purely because I found it useful and thought
it might be useful to you too.
In future I will talk about a tool which helps doing Transcription work.
I hope you guys are exploring all different aspects of your interpreting skills and not just limiting yourselves to Interpreting only.
Personally I am always willing to explore and experiment and find out.
That's why on top of doing interpreting work,I have also done translation
and transcription.And have enjoyed doing so.
may be again you can tell your own stories. Your preferences ;what you like
what you don't like etc.
Before I finish let me give you my contact details for any body who is
interested to get in touch for whatever reason.
