Crazy things some translators do

Feedback from our best judge...you.

 

Hi Walid,
Thank you very much for the quick turnaround time.

-- Anil Nair, Senior Manager, HW Quality
Isilon Systems

 

I can give an example of the fine work of Walid Farhoud with whom I have spent the past week-and-a-half in the Matosich v. Hussein Alzeir personal injury jury trial. He really impressed me with his skill, his hard work and his humor. After a witness had referred to someone on a jobsite as the “big dog”, I asked Mr. Farhoud if he’d translated it literally or into a colloquialism. He said the latter. The next witness was a fast talking forensic economist who, in explaining his calculations, used the French word “voila” only he substituted “Walla Walla” for it. When he did this, Mr. Farhoud flashed me a wonderfully eloquent smile and rolling of the eyes as he proceeded to translate without a moment’s hesitation!

"We engaged Mr. Farhoud to provide 'Language Services' to our law firm in our defense of a terrorism prosecution...
Mr. Farhoud’s work was excellent and performed in prompt and confidential manner. He adhered to all deadlines and worked effectively under pressure. In fact, on a few occasions, Mr. Farhoud traveled from his home in Seattle to our office in Boise, Idaho on extremely short notice to assist us with significant project requiring immediate assistance.
Our client... was acquitted of terrorism charges following an eight week trial and is now with his wife and three small children in Saudi Aarabia.
I recommend the services of Mr. Farhoud without hesitation or qualification."

"Mr. Farhoud's work is exceptional. He has an outstanding intellect, is very detail oriented and has a keen sense of human nature and the human condition. His attention to ethical concerns such as confidentiality, impartiality and avoiding conflicts of interest is impeccable and above reproach. He has functioned in some of the most demanding situations with poise and professionalism. He is extremely sensitive to those around him at all levels of the justice system and his well rounded interaction with others has served as model for other interpreters. He is flexible, adaptable and resourceful, all qualities that have served him well in his work as an interpreter. In addition, his personality and professionalism have earned him high praise from judges and attorneys.

I would not hesitate to recommend him for any interpreting situation."
