With the COVID-19 pandemic hindering most major industries, online interpreting is a necessary tool to keep the global economy stable. It is the driving force that keeps the economy up and running. But just what areas of the economy rely on online interpreting the most?
The WHO issues press conferences, briefings, statements and advisories as they monitor the situation across the globe. An organization such as the WHO needs online interpreting services to ensure that all of their communications are translated to most major languages to ensure everyone can access their information. Because of the highly contagious nature of the coronavirus, many doctors have been forced to find inventive ways to assess the symptoms of the increased number of patients. This has caused the field of telemedicine to skyrocket in demand, as it allows patients who might have any sort of medical question, related to the coronavirus or not, to access their doctors remotely through Zoom translation. For patients who don’t speak English, online interpreting can help patients accurately report their medical issues to their doctors.
In countries with multilingual citizens, governments need to translate their updates and briefings. Online interpreting ensures that everyone has access to the proper information and the latest public advisories in their own native regional language. Given that the government’s job is oftentimes simply to inform the public, virtual interpreting services can help government institution to clearly communicate to members of all language groups through news bulletins, ordinances, and public safety announcements.
As the number of employees working from home has exponentially increased, online interpretation is expected to play a huge role in facilitating international business. Other than organizations that send information to the public, all businesses rely on online interpreting. It goes without saying that many businesses and organizations, especially those who have been hit the hardest, are desperate for ways to return to the status quo. Until the stay at home orders are lifted however, online interpreting connects your business to the rest of the world. Now more than ever all parts of a company need to be operating in tandem with each other. People who are not native speakers are in danger of missing valuable information as it trickles through the company. Online interpreting can help business partners communicate with each other during international business meetings or conferences held on Zoom interpretation or other platforms, allowing business to proceed as usual.
