But won’t be late and won’t get sick
I was very nervous. The first extension of my residence permit with a simultaneous change of visa type! And it was at the immigration office in a small town near Stuttgart... With zero knowledge of German, but with a remote oral translator on my phone - it all worked out!
I had a negative experience with an interpreter during pregnancy. He was significantly late, and I started having contractions! We communicated during childbirth using gestures! So, thanks to TCL - now I only go to doctors with remote translators, it's both cheaper and more reliable.
To be honest, I had my doubts... A remote translator - what is that? What if there's no connection? But the guys explained that you can connect both via video and a regular phone call. It's amazing when you have a real professional oral translator in your pocket. Felt a bit like a minister.
The life of a 'new expat' is tough. Banks refuse to speak any language other than German. Thanks to TCL — we finally managed to open an account!
Before, we used to bring Vasya - a worker from our vineyard, an immigrant from Moldova - for translations. After another awkward situation, I want to say that TCL is a lifesaver! Offline professional translators would have to be paid for at least 4 hours, including travel...
Answers to the burning questions in your mind.
Certainly! We specialize in interpreting for banks, clinics, immigration offices, and other government agencies. TheCommonLanguage started up with our founder successfully renewing her German residence permit with a remote interpreter. Our service will work in the majority of cases, unless you are going to the police or court — there you will need a sworn translator.
The interpreter “sits” next to you in your phone and you can hear him on speakerphone. Let’s say, you’re talking to a doctor. After each phrase or several sentences you and the doctor need to make a short pause—to give the interpreter time to do his part.
Our remote interpreters are just as real: they will support and guide you. We recommend booking an interpreter 15 minutes before the start of the meeting to immerse them in the context and discuss the strategy.
A Professional is an interpreter with proven professional experience. A Connoisseur is someone who knows the language perfectly, and has relevant experience.
A Professional is a foolproof option who will handle both complex cases and day-to-day issues.
Great question! 🙂 There are many 'real-time machine translation systems' on the market. These are cool tools, but for different purposes. During important meetings, they are very inconvenient and extremely inaccurate: they don't recognize accents, fast speech tempo, and especially context. And they definitely won't suggest when you just need to bring the phone closer, repeat a phrase, paraphrase, or clarify something.
During a meeting — yes, we can. We know that many cases involve reading and signing documents. You will just need to take a photo of the document and send it to the interpreter (they will guide you on how to do it).
