Onsite Interpreting (OSI)

Documents Translation
Almost every business communicates a great measure of their marketing or service deliverables in writing. It is a best practice to translate this information in the languages that reaches the audiences you serve. Volatia provides free translation estimates on any project and can meet strict deadlines.
Subtitles and captions
Subtitles can be in the same language as the video or translated into another language. Captions, however, only refer to subtitles that are in the same language as the spoken video. When it comes to translated video, those are called “subtitles,” same as commonly used worldwide.
Transcription Services
Volatia supports the two main transcription (audio to text) practices: verbatim and clean read. Verbatim transcribes the audio word-for-word and includes all utterances and sound effects. Clean read is a format that excludes speech errors, filler words, and any other non-intentional utterances from the speaker.
Voice-Over Translation
Volatia provides translated voice-over for any audio message(s) that need to be communicated into other languages. The begins with an accurate translation of the source message followed by a recording of the audio message into the target language. Every effort is made to use a voice that matches the gender in the original message.

Translation Memory (TM)
Never translate something twice...especially if you are paying for it. A translation memory (TM) is basically a database of previously translated segments for CAT (computer-assisted translation) tools. Translation memories reduce the price for clients when new translation assignments contain repetitive content from previous translations. TM also reduces the time required to finish a project.
TM works at the sentence level. CAT tools break down source documents into component sentences or segments. The segment is the smallest reusable chunk of text. Words are not used for this purpose because different contexts require different translations.
As the translator works, the current segment is compared to those in the translation memory, and if it has something very similar, the CAT tool will automatically show this to the translator. Identical source segments are called 100% matches. This means that somebody in the past had already translated that exact segment. There are also 101% and 102% matches, which means that not only the current segment, but also one or both segments before and/or after it are the same as stored in this TM entry. Matches below 100% are called fuzzy matches. These are ranked from 0% to 99%. A 99% match means that the segments differ by at least one character. Matches below 70% are often considered useless and might not show up, depending on the settings.

Thus, the topics covered are customized to the needs of your organization and can be presented within any specified time frame. Attendees are encouraged to participate in activities and openly expresses their successes, challenges, or barriers.
Coaches
Volatia's DEI coaches facilitate the development of personal or professional objectives. They do not provide you with answers to a challenge or even tell you what to do. Rather, they act as a facilitator to help you ask better questions, provide guidance while you create a plan, define outcomes, and constantly experiment to move your thinking forward. This approach yields real and lasting growth.
Program Courses
The ability to normalize new behaviors depends, largely, on your organization’s commitment to educate and train its people. Furthermore, the education must be provided with a uniformed approach. This method ensures that the entire team uses common terminology, recognizes signs or symptoms of certain environments, and reacts in a predicable manner. Simply put, all must be aware of the message, engaged and committed to act, fully understand their role, and accept the accountability for behaviors in their realm of responsibility.
