01
Initial inquiry
The process begins with the initial contact, where you will share details about the type of interpreting (simultaneous, consecutive, or liaison) and the languages involved. You will describe the subject matter, speakers, audience, type, date, time, duration and location of the event.
02
Assessment and cost estimation
In this step, I will assess your request to provide a cost (based on my established rate) estimate within 24 hours.
03
Confirmation and Onboarding
Once you accept the estimate, we will move forward with the onboarding step. This might involve signing a freelance contract which should outline the agreed-upon rate, interpretation style, payment terms, cancellation policy, and any logistical arrangements. If you haven't already secured a second interpreter, I'm happy to recommend a qualified colleague to complete the team.
04
Preparation
As most interpreting projects require two interpreters for optimal performance, my booth partner and I will request relevant materials (like presentations and documents) beforehand to prepare for the specific subject matter and terminology used in your event.
05
Day of the event
I will arrive at the location or connect to the platform (RSI) at the designated time. If it's simultaneous interpretation, a technician might be there setting up the equipment. We'll do a quick sound check to ensure everything is functioning smoothly.
My booth partner and I will collaborate on a brief pre-event discussion to clarify any last-minute details or specific terminology. This helps us provide the most accurate and nuanced interpretation possible.
As the event commences, for simultaneous interpretation, I translate the speaker's words into the target language with precision and immediacy. My partner remains attentive, prepared to seamlessly take over if needed. For consecutive interpretation, we work in tandem. I listen intently, taking detailed notes to capture the essence of the speaker's message and then translate. By the event's conclusion, my primary objective is to have facilitated clear and comprehensive communication for all parties involved.
