Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What types of interpreting services do you offer?
A: At TC Bilingual Services, we offer both simultaneous and consecutive interpreting services. Our simultaneous interpreting is ideal for large events, conferences, and meetings where real-time translation is needed. Consecutive interpreting is perfect for one-on-one conversations, medical consultations, legal proceedings, and smaller meetings. We provide these services in-person, over the phone, and via video calls.

Q: What’s the difference between simultaneous and consecutive interpreting?
A: Simultaneous interpreting involves the interpreter translating the speaker’s words in real-time, with little to no delay. This is commonly used in conferences, large meetings, or any setting with multiple participants.
Consecutive interpreting is where the interpreter waits for the speaker to pause before translating. This is ideal for one-on-one meetings, medical or legal appointments, and small group discussions.

Q: How do I schedule interpreting services?
A: You can easily schedule interpreting services by contacting us via phone or email. Please provide details about the event or appointment (date, time, type of interpreting needed, etc.), and we will work with you to ensure the appropriate interpreter is available.

Q: Do you offer interpreting for legal or medical appointments?
A: Yes! We specialize in medical interpreting (for doctor’s visits, hospital consultations, etc.) and legal interpreting (for court appearances, meetings with attorneys, etc.). Our interpreters are trained to handle sensitive situations, ensuring both accuracy and confidentiality.

Q: Can you assist with the translation of documents as well?
A: Absolutely! We provide document translation services for a variety of materials, including legal documents, medical reports, letters, school records, and more. We ensure every translation is culturally appropriate and accurately conveys the original meaning.
