COMMON QUESTIONS
Answers before you book.
Practical guidance for planning the right interpreting support.
How far in advance should on-site interpreting be booked?+
Book as early as possible, especially for specialist subjects, uncommon languages, travel requirements or longer assignments. Short-notice availability varies.
Should preparation documents be provided?+
Yes. Agendas, names, terminology, presentations and relevant documents help the interpreter prepare and improve consistency during the meeting.
Do I need consecutive or simultaneous interpreting?+
Consecutive interpreting suits discussions where speakers can pause. Simultaneous interpreting may suit presentations or events but can require additional planning and equipment.
How long should we book?+
Include time for arrival, introductions, the full conversation and reasonable overruns. Longer assignments may also require planned interpreter breaks.
Where should the interpreter sit?+
Position the interpreter where all participants can hear and see clearly without disrupting direct communication between the primary speakers.
Can an interpreter explain or advise participants?+
The interpreter’s role is to convey communication accurately and neutrally. Professional, legal or medical advice must come from the responsible specialist.
