How are interpreting services charged?

As a general rule, conference interpreters are paid for half-day services, up to 4 hours of work, and full-day services, up to 7 hours of work. In the case of a service lasting longer than this, overtime is charged.

When is it necessary to recruit two interpreters, and why?

I have a business meeting with a foreign delegation, what kind of interpretation do I need?

In this case, you need a liaison interpreter, who will translate what both parties say in the meeting. Make sure you hire professional interpreters, as understanding nuances and small details in a negotiation can make all the difference.

How are translation services charged?

Translation is usually charged on a per-word basis. It is most common to charge by the number of words in the source text (the text to be translated). The rate per word usually varies depending on the complexity of the text, its format, whether it is required urgently, etc. Do not hesitate to ask Código Lingua for a quote.
