Minna Saarikoski, a social counselor at a reception center in Central Finland, has been using Youpret’s interpretation services since March 2024. In a multilingual environment, interpretation services play a crucial role, especially in handling personal and significant matters for clients.
Using Youpret's services has become an essential part of Minna's daily work. The services are used daily–often multiple times, ranging from two to three times on average to as many as eight times during busy days. Scheduled and on-site interpretations have become familiar, while instant interpretation has proved indispensable in almost daily urgent situations requiring swift responses.
The Youpret app has streamlined Minna's work, making arranging interpretation effortless and minimizing need to contact customer service.
- "I’ve only contacted the customer service via email a couple of times. The app works well, and it’s been easy to handle everything through it, so there hasn’t been much need to reach out," Minna says.
Working with interpreters has been a positive experience. Minna especially praises Youpret interpreters for their professionalism and friendliness. In sensitive situations involving difficult topics, the interpreter’s ability to foster a safe and relaxed atmosphere is crucial.
- "It’s really great to work with an interpreter—many mistakes and misunderstandings have been avoided thanks to them. The interpreters have been very friendly and polite, and when the interpreter is calm, it helps create a safe atmosphere. It also reassures the client that they are understood. Building the client’s trust has to start from the very first meeting."
Minna has also found that Youpret’s extensive language selection has been highly beneficial when working with clients. Her clients come from diverse backgrounds and speak various languages, such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Arabic.
- "It’s been wonderful to see that interpreters for different languages can always be reached, and Youpret has clearly invested in offering a wide range of languages," Minna notes.
In multilingual environments, this is critical, as interpretation ensures that all clients receive equal treatment and can fully participate in discussions that concern them.
According to Minna, the service’s ease of use, wide language selection, and the interpreters’ professionalism make Youpret an excellent partner for a reception center, where multiculturalism and the need for various languages are part of everyday life.
But what is the greatest benefit that interpretation services have brought to the reception center?
- "The client is heard in their own language, which is very important. Without interpreters, many things would be unresolved and misunderstood. I find interpretation services vital," Minna concludes.
