Interpreters have been in the news lately.The most interesting one that caught my eyes was that of the Libyan leader Col. Gaddafi's Arabic Interpreter.You must have heard the story of Mr. Gaddafi's very long statement at the United Nations.
I want to mention first that I am not making any kind of political statement here.Nothing for or against Mr. Gaddafi either.I am merely mentioning the story just because I found it interesting and because it was reported in the media and was highlighted a lot.
The story goes like this : Though the United Nations has it's own pool of expert Arabic Interpreters, Mr. Gaddafi insisted on using his own interpreter.Now what happened is this : since he went on for so long, the poor interpreter cried out at the 90th minute saying ' I can't take it any more' !
And the UN's Interpreter had to take over.It went smoothly thereafter though.The point is this : apparently there is provision at the UN for interpreters to have a break every 40 minutes.So the interpreter who broke down did so because they had been carrying on for 90 minutes without break.
When I have been in courts and the sessions have been long, the judges have always been very considerate. they have always offered me breaks every so often.
At the beginning I mentioned about interpretrs being in the news. The other news that caught my eyes was that of an Afghan interpreter being shot dead by the American soldiers.In the last few years I have heard/ read about so many interpreters loosing their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan that I feel they deserve a mention here on this blog.
So I hope you would also spare a few moments for those innocent victims of the wars.
How about you ? have you come across any interesting story/ news regarding interpreters ? If so would you like to share the story here ? Feel free to do so by either adding it as a comment or email me the story and if reasonable, I will publish it on the next post.Bye for now.

Bengali Interpreting - some more opportunities

If you follow this blog regularly or even from time to time, I hope you are
intrigued by some of the stories I have told.Whatever else you think at least
you would agree that interpreting is not a boring profession.Unless ofcourse you work as a salaried interpreter for a certain organisation and it is always the
same kind of interpreting (e.g. medical interpreting; though even there no two
patient would have the exact same illness. Infact I have also done quite a bit of medical interpreting and even that has been very interesting !)
You can also see from my experience that there are so many different areas
you can work in that it can not be boring.You get to meet so many different
people and get to hear so many different stories that it can not be anything else than interesting !
Anyway, today I am going to mention another field of interpreting which would
suit most people and which I should have mentioned long before ! I am sorry that it did not come to my mind sooner but I also blame you guys for not asking me the right questions ! If you were a bit more enthusiastic and a bit more interactive, you could have triggered the thoughts in my mind long time ago.
And interpreters of any language would benefit from this bit of information.Not only the Bengali/Sylheti interpreters but also interpreters of Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Chinese, Persian, French,German, Arabic, Italian, spanish or whatever language.
The field is of course Telephone Interpreting.There seem to be a lot of work
in that field.I have done some.I was getting calls everyday but could not take
the calls as I was out most of the time.Hence I had to inform the agency that I would be unavailable for the moment.
It would probably suit the ladies more.If you are unable or unwilling to go out
for whatever reason and still want to do a bit of work while staying at home, I think telephone interpreting would be very good.
If you are interested to find out more or need any other information regarding this, you can contact me and then I can give you the right directions.

Interesting Opportunities in Interpreting Field
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you looking for a qualified and experienced Bengali / Sylheti
Interpreter ? An Interpreter with thousands of hours of experience

Today I will give the would be interpreters some general idea about
different kinds of Job opportunities that may be available in the
field of Interpreting.
But you must realise that, to be considered for decent work in the
field you really need to pass the DPSI course.I am getting a lot of
querries from people who have done the Community Interpreting level 2
or level 3 course.While I appreciate your hard work and time spent
in completing those courses, you guys should also appreciate the fact
that the higher the qualification, the higher is the opportunity for
work and also the reward is higher.
It saddens me some times when I recieve an email from a would be
interpreter and I find lots of basic mistakes in grammar.I usually
point it out to them in my reply and some of them get very defensive
about it and want to start an arguement.Well I don't have time for
that.
But just think about it for a moment. Imagine You went for an interview for
an accounting job.And you can't add two two digit numbers. What sort
of impression would that create with your potential employer?What
would be your chances of success at that interview?
Or you have gone for a job interview at a school.You are a history
teacher. And you do not know who was king Harold.Would you get that
job?Same thing applies in interpreting as well.
If you think it is an easy job, you are wrong.It's not easy and it's
not a matter of joke.An interpretr's mistake can cause a whole trial
to collapse with serious consequences.It has happened. I am not trying
to scare you off.Just warning you.If you want to enter the field, be
prepared.Be serious.
Just like the above example, wrong interpreting can cause wrong diagnosis
of a patient ; again with serious consequences.
OK, we have a clearer picture now about the preparation and attitude adjustment necessary to enter this interpreting profession.When you are well prepared, there can be lot of interesting openings for you. e.g. apart from usual court, hospital, police, solicitors bookings, I have visited prisons as an interpreter, have
worked with film production companies and worked with their directors in their offices,been to some places I think I shouldn't talk about and so on.
You can also get translation work and even Transcription . I have also been
asked to do voice over job.
Recently I came across a job advertisement by the Government of Hong Kong
for a Bengali Interpreter with a monthly salary of $38000 !Would be nice to get that job, wouldn't it? By the way, I saw it after the closing date, so couldn't even apply !
So are you intrigued ? I love hearing from you guys. So do not stop.Keep on sending the mails.
What about the existing interpreters? Wouldn't you guys like to share some of your experiences / stories ? there must be some interesting stories out there. I am still waiting for you guys to tell us those stories.

anyone ofcourse ! )
Looking at the visitor number on my profiles I can see that lot of people are
visiting these pages and some have been good enough to contact me asking for help

Just to give you an idea -in the last month alone I have been to a prison in oxfordshire ( interpreting ofcourse; not serving time ! ), very far corner of Hampshire in a police station, Social services' meeting in Essex, a Crown court in London, Magistrates' court in Hertfordshire, Northampton, Family courts in London and Bedfordshire, Detention centre, Assisting Immigration officers with Asylum seekers,Doctor's surgeries, solicitor's office and other places.I have also done some transcription work.I have also been approached for some voice over job.You wouldn't normally get this type of experience in a normal 9 to 5 job, would you ?

Challenges Faced By Bengali Interpreters
Today I am going to mention some of the technical challenges faced by Bengali Interpreters in the course of carrying out their jobs.And this probably applies to other language interpreters as well.
One of the most annoying things I have faced is that if a person understands some
English, then what they do is they pick up on those one or two words they understood and think that they have understood the whole sentence.And start giving their response based on that understanding without waiting for the interpreter to interprete.
Makes you wonder, doesn't it ? What they fail to realise is the reason the Interpreter has been called is to remove any scope of misunderstanding from all the parties involved.Most people understand few words of English or other languages foreign to them.But that does not make them the speaker of that language.Like I know few words of Arabic,Polish,Italian and Chinese.But my expertise on those languages is just that; few words. I would not consider myself a speaker of any of those languages.certainly I would not give my response after listening to a sentence and just recognising one or two words and assume that I had understood the whole sentence.But there you go. Some people are like that !
Also its very annoying when they start talking while you are talking.They don't want to listen ! It is in their own interest to listen to what the other party has just said. But some people couldn't give a damn about that. They just can not tell enough of their side of the story! They don't want to wait their turn!So what do you do then ?
I am putting it to you 'Would be Interpreters' . Give me your answer.Tell me how you would handle those sort of things.

Controversy About Bengali Language
OK; here we go.As soon as I mentioned Bengali being the fourth most spoken language,
the controversy starts.( see the comment on the previous post).
But I always welcome controversy and fair criticism.And ofcourse if I make a mistake, that should be correceted.I am not afraid to admit my mistake and apologise if I say something wrong.
Also the person making the comment seems to have personal experience of some behaviour pattern of the Bengalis.Fair enough.They also seem to care enough about the Bengali people to mention what they mentioned.
I thank you for your comment and welcome you and expect you to contribute more in future.
But you do not actually mention how the statistics you found on Wikipedia varies to what I mentioned.Please tell us what it is and please tell us what is Bangla's real position in the league table.I am willing to accept the fact and mention it here if that's genuine.
Though Bangla is my mother tongue, I am not a fanatic or emotionally so attached to it that I would get in to a fight over it.
If Bangla's real position is 154th in the league table of world languages, I am willing to publish that fact on these very pages.No problem. I agree that Russian is a great language and in my school days I had the good fortune of reading some Russian literature( translated in to Bengali ofcourse; I can't read or speak Russian). I have great respect for the Russian people and their history and culture.There have been so many great scientists, Music composers,and writers from Russia that is really admirable !
I also accept what you mention about Bengalis speaking English amongst themselves.But if you look at it the other way, you should admire Bengalis for being able to speak other languages.It's a great skill to be multilingual, isn't it?Like the English have realised recently that they are not good with foreign languages where as the Europeans are.Lot of the Europeans (e.g. the Dutch and the Swedish ) speak more than one language. Some of them speak four.Its a great ability to be able to communicate with others in their own language.Like you yourself have the advantage over me in the sense that you can speak my language but I can't speak yours.Have you not got the edge over me there ?
Enough said about that. Now today I actually want to mention something else to the readers of this blog.Lot of the readers contact me asking me how to get in to interpreting profession.But really they are looking for a way to earn some extra money. keeping that in mind I want to mention how you can earn some money without any risk and just for treating yourself. Like doing online shopping ... things you would be spending money on anyway.Like renewing your car insurance and other day to day shopping.joining is free and you can also refer your friends and relatives and all of you can enjoy the benefits.To find out click at the link below.
On the other hand if you are an interpreting agency or a Solicitor or other kind of Professional and looking for a Bengali or Sylheti Interpreter, you can contact me.
My rates are very competitive, I am properly qualified ( I hold DPSI), I am on the NRPSI register and I have got lots of experience in Interpreting, Translation and transcription work.I am based in North West London and can get to most places in the South East fairly quickly and at short notice. I have worked as far as Cardiff, Norwich, Portsmouth,Bedford, Milton keynes etc.
My mobile no. is 07832371577 and email is mognichoudhury@yahoo.com
