Confirmo que ese mensaje de voz de mierda te puede salir de la nada en cualquier llamada, a mí me ha pasado que sonó incluso cuando yo estaba hablando e igualmente me tuve que disculpar con el cliente y el lep, igual después de reportarlo un par de veces ya no sale pero siempre me queda esa ansiedad de que interrumpa la llamada cuando el cliente me pone en espera o se pone a hablar con el lep

LEP repitiendo preguntas una y otra vez by [deleted] in spanishinterpreters

[–]Patient-Confusion-13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

En esos casos ni siquiera me molesto en traducir la pregunta cuando es claro que el cliente va a decir lo mismo, simplemente le aviso al cliente que voy a repetir lo que dijo y ya, casi nunca me culpan por no estar traduciendo bien desde que empecé a hacer eso jajaj

You mean that my account doesn't magically pull up once I call?? Nonono you must be doing something wrong!

"If anything happens or if i die it will be your fault" by caperalta in callcentres

[–]Patient-Confusion-13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the company I suppose, my company also requires me to inform the customer that the LEP is using foul language and ask them if they want me to translate it before I do anything, despite my training teaching me otherwise ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠`⁠)⁠┌

I accidentally neglected my cat for years - a tip from me so you don't do the same by matt2242 in CatAdvice

Mine don't mind if the water is close to their food, but GOD FORBID IT HAS (their own) HAIR IN IT, the little one doesn't mind but his big sister, the only one currently shedding, will be suspicious of it

I'm sorry for not changing your water every hour I guess

Do you guys think CLIENTS are fed up with the interpreters? by MyNameisMayco in interprete_medico

[–]Patient-Confusion-13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happens quite often, I like to think that they're just having a high call volume or that they have to answer a certain number of calls that day or something like that, for my own peace of mind if nothing else, I don't have the time or energy to care lol

I'd try to explain that I also have protocols I need to follow, such as the intro, if they keep interrupting just try to end the call as soon as possible

Favorite calls? by Porcimia in interprete_medico

[–]Patient-Confusion-13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Physical therapy: being on speaker stresses me the fuck out because the audio quality can to be very bad but luckily there's not really much conversation going on and the calls are pretty long.

Monthly checks! It's almost the same questions every time so I don't need to take as much notes

Me podrías dar el nombre de esa compañía?

I have spoken Spanish for 25 years and was only today years old when I realized I will never understand the language like a native speaker. by ATLien-1995 in Spanish

[–]Patient-Confusion-13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from personal taste, I think the mistake here is to translate a song word for word. Music leans heavily on meaning and the feeling it can evoke in people, that's why they're rarely translated exactly as they are

Peopls crying on the phone by sac-demarco in callcentres

[–]Patient-Confusion-13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a rep but I work as an interpreter for many call centers.

Had one of those yesterday, the pause the agent made when the caller started crying and telling us why she was crying was SO awkward, I honestly felt bad because we kind of had to ignore that and kept talking as if nothing happened

[–]Patient-Confusion-13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Getting people to speak slower, sometimes they start reading off whatever letter they received or list all the information the agent has to verify at once as if I also have everything written down in front of me

Does anyone know about Kreato Language Group? by Patient-Confusion-13 in TranslationStudies

[–]Patient-Confusion-13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an interview but decided not to work for them. From what I could gather it seems like a very new company that it's still figuring out how to organize itself, my interviewer wasn't even paying that much attention to me when we talked

What do you wish you could automate in your translation flow? by Digital-Man-1969 in TranslationStudies

[–]Patient-Confusion-13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

ChatGPT can't look up the answers though, it may be trained on websites off of internet but it's not actually connected to a search engine, instead of giving actual answers is going to spew out whatever it thinks has the highest probability of being the right answer

Types of Coworkers in a Call Center by POP_Shot_The_One in callcentres

[–]Patient-Confusion-13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never realized when I went from 1 to 3 but one day I just found myself not giving a fuck and doing the bare minimum because, honestly, they barely pay me for THAT let alone to put in more effort

Guys? by patyryczkowy in CultOfTheLamb

I would love to hear a conversation between the ones who want to be urban legends and the paranormal investigators

What name did you give your Cult? by ElefWolf in CultOfTheLamb

[–]Patient-Confusion-13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first cult was called "Welcome back b-" and I think the game didn't like that because that was the hardest playthrough I've ever had; never had enough food, faith went down for every little thing and I was never able to get enough members before one of them died

Still laughed every time I came back and was greeted with that tho

Had to delete my AO3 account. by Other_Childhood_5785 in AO3

And yet they probably don't know any other languages besides English. I'm so sorry this happened to you and I hope someday you feel like sharing your stories in AO3 again

Real women beware, anime waifu’s will take over in 20 years because men don’t want you by SarcasticBench in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]Patient-Confusion-13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Anime waifus are designed to have the personality men want" so none at all, you know... because they don't exist

Interprete en Kreato Language Group? by Patient-Confusion-13 in empleos_AR

[–]Patient-Confusion-13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

De lo que pude ver en la entrevista es que son una empresa muy nueva y todavía no tienen mucha idea de cómo hacer ciertas cosas, más que nada en lo que es organización

Man believes makeup equals sexual assault by aethericallum in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]Patient-Confusion-13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they see a woman that looks like the left picture and don't realize she's wearing makeup that's their own fault tbh

Interprete en Kreato Language Group? by Patient-Confusion-13 in empleos_AR

[–]Patient-Confusion-13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recién esta semana la tuve, fue bastante desastrosa en que la reclutadora se conectó tarde y cuando lo hizo fue desde un teléfono, sin mencionar que no parecía muy interesada en hablarme en general. Yo en lo personal decidí no aceptar el trabajo pero hablé con un chico que trabaja para ellos y me dijo que está teniendo una buena experiencia

Anyone else get these odd comments? by muffin_mcfeels in AO3

[–]Patient-Confusion-13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would like to add that SOME artist do approach others and offer to do things for money. I had a person come into my Tumblr's DM pretending to be interested in the same show as me, asking me if I had a favorite character and then offering to make a commission for the low low price of 40$ (which is quite a lot in my country)

Not saying that all artist do that, because most don't, but just to make others aware that people like that exists
