Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about business, meeting & conference interpreters

What is whispered interpreting?

Whispered interpreting (chuchotage): Interpreter sits beside client and whispers translation in real-time. Ideal for 1-2 people in larger meetings. No equipment needed. Discreet and unobtrusive.

How much does business interpreting cost?

Business interpreting: £450-£700/day (8 hours) or £75-£95/hour (2h minimum). Travel and expenses additional for out-of-office assignments. Premium rates for specialist industries.

Can interpreters travel internationally?

Yes - UK-based interpreters available for international travel. Alternatively, we source local interpreters in destination country. Travel costs, accommodation, and per diem additional.

Do business interpreters sign NDAs?

Yes - every interpreter must sign our confidentiality agreement before an assignment. Additional NDAs provided on request. Security-cleared interpreters available for sensitive assignments.

How far in advance should I book?

Standard booking: 1 week notice. Specialist languages/industries: 2 weeks preferred. Emergency: Same-day or next-day possible for common languages (surcharge applies).

What is simultaneous interpreting and when do I need it?

Simultaneous interpreting: the interpreter speaks in real-time while the speaker continues, with attendees listening via headsets. Used for conferences, AGMs, and large multilingual events. Requires a minimum of 2 interpreters per language (they alternate every 20-30 minutes) plus booth and headset equipment, which we arrange.

How much does conference interpreting cost?

Conference interpreting: £800-£1,200/day per interpreter (minimum 2 per language for simultaneous). Equipment rental: £500-£2,000/day depending on scale. For smaller meetings, consecutive interpreting with a single interpreter is usually more economical.

Can you cover virtual and hybrid events?

Yes - remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI) for virtual and hybrid events. Interpreters work via Zoom, Teams, or dedicated RSI platforms, and attendees select their language channel.
