Questions
Questions about this service
Simultaneous or consecutive on air?
It depends on the format. Live news usually needs simultaneous interpreting; recorded interviews often work better consecutive. We advise when you send the brief.
Do you bring equipment?
In a studio we use the broadcaster’s audio setup. For events we help arrange interpreting equipment as a separate line in the quote.
How quickly can you start?
Often within a day, sometimes the same day. Message us on WhatsApp with the date and place; we answer around the clock.
How much does an interpreter cost?
Every assignment is quoted. The price depends on the length of the job, the place and travel, the languages, the type of interpreting and how soon you need us. Send a short brief and you get an itemised quote in writing within 2 hours.
