A Guide to Event Translation Services in Dubai

Human or Machine for Your Event translation in Dubai

So, the first thing you need to decide is whether to use a human or a machine to carry out your translation service in Dubai. Both are viable options. You just need to know which option is best for which occasion. Here we’ve broken it down into simple terms:

The Advantages of Automated Event Translation:

• Some software is free (Google Translate, Skype Translator, etc.)
• It’s quick
• You can translate between multiple languages at once

The Disadvantages of Automated Event Translation:

• Accuracy can be very low
• Accuracy is also very inconsistent across different languages
• Machines can’t translate context, emotion, complicated words, slang, tone etc.
• Mistakes can costly
• Sometimes translation simply doesn’t work

The Advantages of Human Event Translation

• Higher translation accuracy
• Humans can interpret context, emotion, complicated words, slang, and tone rather than simply translating words
• Human interpreters can review their work and provide a quality process
• Humans can interpret the creative use of language, e.g. puns, metaphors, slogans, etc.
• Humans can account for idiomatic differences between their languages
• Humans can interpret words and concepts that don’t have direct translations

The Disadvantages of human Event Translation

• Humans aren’t as quick as software
• A human interpreter in Dubai can be more expensive
• A human interpreter in Dubai is limited to the languages anyone translator can work with

So, to wrap all this up. You should use an automated event translation service in Dubai when the workload is high, you don’t have a live audience, and when total accuracy isn’t needed.

On the other hand, you should use a human translation service in Dubai when accuracy is key, you’ve got a live audience, and you’re expecting a lot of creative nuance in the language (like slang or idioms etc.)
