Common Questions
Face to face interpreting means an interpreter attends your appointment or meeting in person to interpret between you and the person you are speaking with. Because the interpreter is in the room, they can read body language, tone and physical cues as well as words. That helps in sensitive appointments, difficult conversations and meetings with several people.
This varies by skill level, language, and location. We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly for rarer languages, and our team can check availability directly if you are unsure.
We ask for at least three weeks notice where possible, given a national shortage of qualified Level 6 NRCPD interpreters. For very short notice requests, remote video interpreting may be suggested as an alternative.
Where possible, yes, we prioritise continuity and will match the skills and experience of a replacement interpreter if your usual one is unavailable.
The cost depends on the language, the interpreter's skill level, the location and the length of the booking. Tell us about your session and we will give you a quote for that specific booking.
Interpreting is spoken. An interpreter helps people who speak different languages understand each other in real time, whether in the room, over the phone or by video. Translation is written, such as converting a document into another language. We provide both, so tell us which one you need.
