FAQs
Can you take care of the entire interpreting setup?
Yes. We can coordinate the interpreters, interpreting equipment and specialized AV technical support through a single provider, as well as additional services such as live streaming, recording and live captioning where required.
Why are two interpreters needed for simultaneous interpreting?
Simultaneous interpreting is an extremely demanding cognitive task requiring continuous listening, analysis, reformulation and speaking at the same time.
For this reason, professional conference interpreters normally work in teams and alternate at regular intervals, while the colleague who is not actively interpreting continues supporting the booth with terminology, figures, names and documentation.
This is not simply a question of comfort: it is an established professional working practice designed to protect interpreting quality throughout the event.
Very short assignments may exceptionally be handled by a single interpreter when the duration and working conditions make this professionally appropriate.
What is included in the interpreting fee?
The fee covers considerably more than the time spent speaking into a microphone.
Depending on the assignment, it includes preparation, terminology research, review of your documentation, reserved availability and the interpreting itself, as well as travel or standby time where applicable.
Why do you charge a daily rate rather than by the hour?
Conference interpreting requires us to reserve the interpreter’s availability for your assignment and usually involves significant preparation beforehand.
Even a relatively short event can therefore occupy a substantial part of an interpreter’s working day and prevent them from accepting another assignment.
What information do you need to prepare a quote?
We will need some basic information about your event, including the location and dates, languages, schedule, number of participants, interpreting setup and any technical requirements.
