Translators for Social Workers

One approach is to begin the red tape required for hiring a human interpreter, but do you really have time to waste doing that? And so what if you hire, say, a Latvian speaker but still need to cover translation needs for several other languages?

But suppose you go that route. Not only must the person be bilingual or multilingual, but this person must also have many of your important skills. This could make you superfluous, in the eyes of some budget cutting administrator. They just don't understand.

And, a little-known fact. Human interpreters don't always interpret correctly. They may simply guess and hope nobody figures that out.

A great solution is to buy an electronic translator (or several such devices). And, yes, we accept Purchase Orders for these impressive devices.

The device you want is the 800 series. Here are some reasons why:

• The flip-style case looks professional.
• It's designed the the same PDA standards as the other devices people use today, so the learning curve is flattened significantly.
• It's expandable. Simply buy an inexpensive MultiMedia Card (MMC), and you add a second language--or even an entire set of languages.
• It's the best value in a translation device.
• It's even more affordable when you need multiple languages.

800 vs low-cost tourist devices

While most translation devices seem like a bargain because of their low price, you don't even get what you pay for. Those devices are pretty much useless for students because they have very limited vocabularies and phrases designed for basic tourist functions. The 800 is designed for communication. The cheap units are a complete waste of money, because for sales reps they serve no purpose.

An 800, on the other hand, provides very high value. The only other device that is comparable is the SpeechGuard TL-2. But for the sales rep, the 800 is the better choice for reasons that become obvious when you read the information on any 800-series product page. We even compare the two families of devices on those pages, so check it out if you're in doubt.

We have 800s for many languages. To see the entire selection, click here. Below, you will find some selected 800 models.
