RED FACES
The Vice Chancellor of a large Australian university was not amused at his demotion due to poor Mandarin interpreter selection. Heads rolled ...
We see this error continually — it seems that many Chinese interpreters and translators can't work out the hierarchy in the Australian education system.
In the courtroom, costs were mounting — the interpreter selected was hopeless; production was held up, legal fees were costing thousands and meanwhile the hapless interpreter (not costing much) struggled with numbers — $600 million to be precise.
If you are the hirer of such incompetents, beware of the end result.
Make sure to seek advice and know who you are hiring for your Chinese translation! We can help you.
The happy ending to the courtroom saga - our interpreter arrived and within half an hour, all had been sorted out; and the university Vice Chancellor - well next time, a competent, thoroughly prepared interpreter was engaged.
Could you bear the risk with any old translator?
A poor, or late translation can embarrass and lose the deal, your job, or cost plenty in legal action down the track. You might only get one chance to impress and get the right outcome.
