Define the requirement before booking
Booth interpreting is simultaneous: interpreters listen and deliver the target language through an audio system almost at once. Quality depends on interpreters, source signal, slide visibility, booths, transmitters and receivers. Longer programmes commonly need rotation to sustain concentration.

Questions to ask an interpreting company
Does booth interpreting always require two interpreters?
Booth interpreting is simultaneous: interpreters listen and deliver the target language through an audio system almost at once. Quality depends on interpreters, source signal, slide visibility, booths, transmitters and receivers. Longer programmes commonly need rotation to sustain concentration.
What information should I provide when requesting booth interpreting?
Provide the date, time, venue or online platform, participant count, language pair and direction. The subject, desired outcome, agenda, reference material and confidentiality needs help the provider select the right people and setup.
What affects the cost of booth interpreting?
Cost commonly depends on the language pair, interpreting mode, duration, subject expertise, team size, preparation, location, equipment, overtime and rescheduling terms. Compare quotations only when their scope is equivalent.
What materials should be prepared for booth interpreting?
Share the agenda, slides, participant names and roles, terminology, product or process documents and scripts for any videos. Mark final versions clearly and communicate changes early.
How can I assess whether an interpreter is suitable for booth interpreting?
Review the interpreter's profile, relevant qualifications and experience in the subject, then hold a short briefing. Also confirm coordination, the main contact and a replacement plan for unexpected issues.
