Types of interpreting I offer for Italian, English, Russian and Spanish

I’ll be glad to support you by providing different types of interpreting according to the agenda and location of your event and the number of participants.

Here are the types of interpreting services I offer with some examples of situations in which they could be applied:

  • Simultaneous (perfect for conferences)
  • Consecutive (perfect for meetings and conferences featuring a foreign speaker and for training courses)
  • Liaison (perfect for B2B meetings and negotiations)
  • Chuchotage (perfect for meetings with only one foreign guest)
  • Remote interpreting

How I work for interpreting assignments

Once you’ve told me about your event and I’ve sent you a customised solution and offer for an interpreting service in one of my working languages (Italian, English, Russian and Spanish), you can formally assign me the job.

From that moment I’ll start working for your event: I’ll study and ask you to send me the event agenda, the names of the speakers/the companies invited, any possible documents that will be shown that day and any piece of information that could be useful to deliver my interpretation.

The phase before the event is crucial for me: each company, conference and guest are unique. That’s why knowing the language is not sufficient to deliver a customised and high standard interpreting service.

Besides being your language mediator, I’ll be glad to help you with practical pieces of advice on how to deal with your guests’ culture to avoid misunderstandings because of different habits.

On the day of your event, I’ll be there by your side – or I’ll join the call if the event is held remotely – to get your message across.

If you need the translation of some documents before or after the event, I’ll be pleased to help you out!

Clients I have worked with as an interpreter

Our collaboration with Paola has been an exceptional professional alliance. Paola proved to be a very skilled and qualified professional who has supported us providing technical infos and insights that show strong expertise. Each time we need some kind of language service, Paola is our go-to professional.

Paola was recommended to us by our network for her skills and professionalism. We got in touch with Paola for a simultaneous interpreting assignment from English into Italian during an 8-hour webinar. Paola granted her full availability and mastered such a complex topic that the speaker himself had raised his concerns about hiring a translator who had no experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine. We were very satisfied with her excellent work and her great flexibility shown in accepting this assignment at the very last minute.

How much is it?

Each event is unique and so is the interpreting service I’ll provide to you!

The cost of interpreting services depends on the type of service (e.g., simultaneous, consecutive, etc.), the language combination, the topic and the duration of the event and the urgency.

However, I know companies are bound to their budgets so you can get an idea of my standard rates below:

  • Full day: from 500 euros
  • 1 hour (only remotely): from 100 euros

The pre-event study process is always included in my rates.

Fairness is one of the personal and professional values I cherish: that is why I won’t try to deceive you with a standard rate. Instead, I prefer to give you the chance to get a customised free quote.

In my quote, you will find each detailed cost item with the specification of what is included and what is not (e.g., travel expenses.)

Once you have confirmed my quote, there won’t be any changes nor additional costs. It’s up to you to ask me for additional services!

If you are looking for an on-going collaboration for your recurring interpreting or translation needs, I will analyse your situation and send you a customised collaboration proposal!
