Consecutive interpreting happens in segments, with the speaker pausing every few sentences for the interpretation to follow: better suited to smaller meetings, negotiations, site visits, or anywhere a direct, conversational rhythm matters more than speed. Not sure which fits your event? Get in touch via the <a href=\"#contact\">contact section<\/a> and I&#8217;ll help you figure it out.<\/p><\/div>\n        <\/details>\n        <details class=\"faq-item reveal\">\n          <summary>Why do interpreters usually work in pairs?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>Simultaneous interpreting is recognised by AIIC (the International Association of Conference Interpreters) as one of the most cognitively demanding tasks the human brain can perform. Team strength depends on factors like language combination, session length and subject complexity, but interpreters generally rotate every 20 to 30 minutes to keep accuracy consistent throughout the event. It&#8217;s a recognised professional standard, not an added cost for its own sake.

Even a one-hour event can require several hours of preparation, and that time is always included in the quote, not just time spent in the booth.

Even drafts or work-in-progress materials are useful. The more context I have, the better the result, and if confidentiality is a concern, I&#8217;m glad to sign an NDA or work from an anonymised briefing document. Once we&#8217;re in touch via the <a href=\"#contact\">contact section<\/a>, you can send materials directly.<\/p><\/div>\n        <\/details>\n        <details class=\"faq-item reveal\">\n          <summary>Which languages do you work in?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>I work between Italian, English and European Portuguese (not Brazilian Portuguese), in any combination of the three. These are also the languages covered by my EU accreditation (ACI). Get in touch via the <a href=\"#contact\">contact section<\/a> to check availability for your language combination.<\/p><\/div>\n        <\/details>\n        <details class=\"faq-item reveal\">\n          <summary>How far in advance should I book you?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>I recommend getting in touch at least 2 to 3 weeks before your event, earlier during busier periods such as the spring and autumn conference seasons. That said, don&#8217;t hesitate to reach out on short notice via the <a href=\"#contact\">contact section<\/a>: if I&#8217;m available, I&#8217;ll always try to make it work.<\/p><\/div>\n        <\/details>\n        <details class=\"faq-item reveal\">\n          <summary>What&#8217;s the difference between an interpreter and a translator?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>An interpreter works with the spoken word in real time, during meetings, conferences or calls. A translator works with the written word, on documents, contracts or marketing materials. I do both, so if you&#8217;re not sure which one you need, drop me a line via the <a href=\"#contact\">contact section<\/a> and I&#8217;ll point you in the right direction.<\/p><\/div>\n        <\/details>\n        <details class=\"faq-item reveal\">\n          <summary>Do you also offer translation services, not just interpreting?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>Yes. Alongside interpreting, I translate and transcreate written content between Italian, English and Portuguese, from technical and financial documents to marketing copy, calibrated to the register you need. Send your files and deadline via the <a href=\"#contact\">contact section<\/a> for a free quote.<\/p><\/div>\n        <\/details>\n        <details class=\"faq-item reveal\">\n          <summary>Is a soundproof booth always required for simultaneous interpreting?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>No. Simultaneous interpreting can be delivered from a soundproof booth (the optimal setup), with a portable radio system (&#8220;bidule&#8221;), or via a certified remote interpreting platform. Tell me about your event via the <a href=\"#contact\">contact section<\/a> and I&#8217;ll suggest the setup that fits best.<\/p><\/div>\n        <\/details>\n        <details class=\"faq-item reveal\">\n          <summary>Do you offer remote interpreting?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>Yes. I have full working proficiency across the major remote interpreting platforms, for both hybrid and fully remote events.

When you and your audience don&#8217;t share a common language, a professional interpreter is often the difference between a smooth event and an awkward one.<\/p>\n            <p>First, a distinction worth making: a translator is <strong>not the same as an interpreter<\/strong>, and you may not need one at all. Translators work with written documents; interpreters work with the spoken word, which is what most conferences and gatherings actually require. For a closer look, see the FAQ on <a href=\"#faq\">interpreters vs. translators<\/a>.<\/p>\n            <h4>Simultaneous interpreting<\/h4>\n            <p>If you&#8217;ve ever picked up a small transmitter and headset at the door of a meeting room, you&#8217;ve attended an event with simultaneous interpreting: an interpreter in a booth renders the speaker&#8217;s words into another language in real time, with no pause in the flow.<\/p>\n            <p>There are usually <strong>two interpreters in the booth<\/strong>, rotating to keep quality consistent throughout the event. It&#8217;s the right choice for events with speakers from multiple countries, and it saves time, since consecutive interpreting can nearly double the length of a programme.<\/p>\n            <p>The trade-off is cost: it normally requires a <strong>soundproof booth<\/strong>, to shield interpreters from ambient noise and keep their voices from carrying into the room. For smaller events, a portable radio system (&#8220;bidule&#8221;) is a lighter alternative, covered in the FAQ on <a href=\"#faq\">soundproof booths<\/a>. Remote interpreting platforms are also an option for hybrid or fully remote events.<\/p>\n            <h4>Consecutive interpreting<\/h4>\n            <p>Consecutive interpreting suits events with only one foreign speaker, or a handful of international attendees. The interpreter takes notes as the speaker talks, then renders the passage during natural pauses.<\/p>\n            <p>Its advantage is simplicity: no booth or audio equipment, just a microphone and a notebook. The trade-off is time: it roughly <strong>doubles the length<\/strong> of a speech, and beyond about three hours, two interpreters are needed so they can alternate.<\/p>\n            <h4>Whispered interpreting (chuchotage)<\/h4>\n            <p>When only a couple of people need interpreting, the interpreter sits beside them and whispers the rendition in real time. It&#8217;s a variant of simultaneous interpreting, so it still takes two interpreters, and it&#8217;s a more demanding listening experience than following a speech through a headset, since there&#8217;s no clean audio source.<\/p>\n            <h4>Liaison interpreting<\/h4>\n            <p>For trade shows or plant visits, a liaison interpreter moves with you and interprets each exchange as it happens. The same applies to business meetings or visits from foreign partners, where the interpreter acts as a go-between at the table or on the floor.<\/p>\n            <p>This is meant as a general guide, not an exhaustive one.

Interpreting time is only part of the job: the preparation beforehand is what makes the difference, and it usually takes far longer than the event itself.<\/p>\n            <p>A recent example makes the point. A few weeks ago I interpreted at a two-day event on a new drug for ophthalmologic conditions. I&#8217;ve worked plenty of medical events, but ophthalmology was new territory: not starting from scratch, but a real learning curve all the same. Here&#8217;s roughly what that preparation looked like:<\/p>\n            <ul>\n              <li><strong>Inquiry:<\/strong> gathering the technical and logistical details needed to scope the job.<\/li>\n              <li><strong>Coordination:<\/strong> agreeing booth arrangements with the fellow interpreter on the assignment, since simultaneous work always <a href=\"#faq\">happens in pairs<\/a>.<\/li>\n              <li><strong>Documents:<\/strong> the programme, speaker list, slides, and any other reference material.<\/li>\n              <li><strong>Research:<\/strong> in this case, the SPC (Summary of Product Characteristics) in both Italian and English.<\/li>\n              <li><strong>Glossary:<\/strong> a two-language glossary of field-specific terms, <strong>333 entries<\/strong> by the end.<\/li>\n              <li><strong>Final preparations:<\/strong> last-minute documents, glossary updates, and a final review for consistency.<\/li>\n            <\/ul>\n            <p>This one also called for a couple of extras: anatomical structures in both languages, since the medication was intravitreal, and how drug reimbursement works in both the Italian health system and the speakers&#8217; home countries.<\/p>\n            <p>Between all of it, going by the file dates on my drive, preparation added up to at least <strong>three full working days<\/strong>, before I ever stepped into the booth for the two days of simultaneous interpreting that followed. Preparation time almost always exceeds the event itself, whether it&#8217;s one hour or two days. That&#8217;s why no professional interpreter charges by the hour.<\/p>\n            <p>If your event calls for the same rigour as a drug marketing authorisation, get in touch via the <a href=\"#contact\">contact section<\/a>.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/details>\n\n        <details class=\"insight-item reveal\">\n          <summary>\n            <h3>What actually goes into an interpreting quote<\/h3>\n            <p class=\"insight-preview\">A breakdown of what actually determines the price of an interpreting assignment, and why two quotes for what looks like &#8220;the same job&#8221; can differ so much.<\/p>\n            <span class=\"insight-cta\"><span class=\"insight-cta-closed\">Read the article \u2192<\/span><span class=\"insight-cta-open\">Close article \u2191<\/span><\/span>\n          <\/summary>\n          <div class=\"insight-body\">\n            <p>Ask five people what an interpreter costs and you&#8217;ll get five different numbers, because a quote isn&#8217;t really pricing a number of hours. It&#8217;s pricing a specific set of conditions. Here&#8217;s what actually goes into it.<\/p>\n            <h4>Interpreting mode and team size<\/h4>\n            <p>Simultaneous interpreting normally needs <strong>two interpreters working in pairs<\/strong> (see <a href=\"#faq\">why interpreters work in pairs<\/a>), rotating to keep quality consistent. For events spanning more than a standard working day, a <strong>third interpreter<\/strong> usually joins the team, so the rotation holds up without pushing anyone past a sustainable number of hours. Consecutive interpreting can often be handled by one, but takes roughly twice as long on the day. The choice between the two (see the FAQ on <a href=\"#faq\">consecutive vs. simultaneous<\/a>) is usually the single biggest factor in a quote. Liaison or business interpreting, for trade shows, plant visits, or one-on-one meetings, is usually the lightest setup of all: a single interpreter, no equipment, priced closer to a day rate.<\/p>\n            <h4>Language combination and subject matter<\/h4>\n            <p>Some language pairs have a smaller pool of qualified interpreters, which affects availability and price. Subject matter matters just as much: a general business meeting and a pharmacovigilance conference call for very different levels of specialised preparation, even at the same length.<\/p>\n            <h4>Location and format<\/h4>\n            <p>On-site work in a soundproof booth (see <a href=\"#faq\">soundproof booths and portable systems<\/a>) has different costs than <a href=\"#faq\">remote interpreting<\/a>: travel and equipment apply to one but not the other. Hybrid events, with some speakers in the room and others online, usually sit somewhere in between.<\/p>\n            <h4>Travel and time away<\/h4>\n            <p>For assignments away from home base, travel, meals, and accommodation are covered for the full length of the event, not just the hours spent interpreting. Multi-day bookings can also involve <em>jours ch\u00f4m\u00e9s<\/em> (non-working days within the engagement, such as a rest day between conference sessions) and <em>manque \u00e0 gagner<\/em> (compensation for the earning opportunity lost by reserving those days for one client and turning down other work). Both are standard, AIIC-recognised practice, not padding.<\/p>\n            <h4>Recording and reuse<\/h4>\n            <p>If the event is recorded and the interpreted rendition will be published, broadcast, or otherwise used beyond the live event, that&#8217;s a separate use of the interpreter&#8217;s voice, and it usually carries its own <a href=\"#faq\">surcharge, agreed before the event<\/a>.<\/p>\n            <h4>Timing<\/h4>\n            <p>Short-notice bookings can cost more, since they compress preparation time and depend on last-minute availability.<\/p>\n            <p>None of this is meant to be exhaustive, and every quote is tailored to the actual event, not a price list.
