Zoom͏ meetings held in multiple ͏languages might have some communication͏ lag due to the need to cross͏-interpret between participants. The effectiveness of your meeting relies on how well your interpreter translates and maintains the meeting’s pace. Here ͏is how to choose a good͏͏ service that offers Korean interpretation over Zoom:
͏Cultural͏ Expertise
The Korean language has unique linguistic ͏characteristics that make ͏it difficult to understand with only a basic understanding. It differs from Latin-based ͏languages, ͏like English and French, in subject-object arrangements and grammatical rules. This makes it difficult to translate͏ using applications in real-time since the phrases ͏vary͏ depending on the context.
Korea also has a ͏different͏ business culture with specific ͏customs, etiquette, and communication͏ ͏styles for different occasions. One aspect of Korean communication is using honorifics that͏ change according to social hierarchy. Zoom conference calls have limited ͏ways for people to express themselves ͏using body language. Cultural expertise in Korean business etiquette, like using ͏formal language ͏and respecting͏ senior executives, influences the meaning ͏of each message. A ͏cultural expert a͏v͏oids misunderstandings when offering Korean interpretation over Zoom using appropriate language connotations and nuances͏.
Subject ͏Matter Experience͏
Every industry has different terminologies, concepts, ͏and ideologies that͏ influence how people talk to each other͏. Participants in a Z͏oom meeting should have all the knowledge concerning͏ the discussion topic. An interpreter knowledgeable in the subject ͏matter will have the ͏advantage of not having to look ͏up or reference explanations to translate.
Meetings in industries like finance, healthcare, and technology might vary depending on͏ the discussion topic.͏ It is key to find a Korean interpreter who is fluent in the subject matter. This will allow them to quickly translate words without needing long pauses or breaks in the conversation.
Technical Proficiency
The interpreter should be skilled at using the Zoom interface on͏ multiple devices ͏and have basic operation͏ knowledge of Zoom call management. This helps avoid instances of audio or video interruption due to a lack of knowledge. Technical expertise͏ also applies to all the devices used in the meeting͏, such as a laptop, camera, phone or tablet, and microphone. They should be able to handle so͏me ͏minor audio ͏and͏ video equipment͏ and debug any connection issues.
Availability
Your interpreter’s͏ accessibility determines how you schedule your meeting and the duration of each call. Check with the ͏translator to confirm whether they are available for your event. Sometimes a Zoom ͏meeting͏ might come up unplanned to discuss͏ a significant͏ ͏issue that needs immediate͏ attention. Getting a͏ translator͏ available on͏ short notice helps in such a situation, as you will not need to postpone the ͏call for ͏a few days. Having a dedicated interpreter who is available and becomes familiar with͏ the participants can simplify the meeting process.
