Define the requirement before booking
Seminar interpreting must support both presentations and audience interaction. Organisers should send the agenda, slides, speaker names, terminology and videos, then choose consecutive or simultaneous delivery based on size, duration and programme pace.

Agree the assignment scope
Presentations run to plan but Q&A slows because audience members speak without microphones. The moderator brings a microphone to each person, requests concise questions and lets the interpreter clarify before interpreting.
Enquiry checklist
- Send date, time, venue or online platform and participant count.
- State language pair, direction, subject and intended outcome.
- Share an agenda or sample material and mark confidential content.
- Review profiles, hold a briefing and confirm the plan in writing.
How to obtain a clear quotation
Do not replace slides at the last minute without notice. Spoken videos need a file or script and must be tested through the sound system.

Questions to ask an interpreting company
Should a small seminar use consecutive or booth interpreting?
Seminar interpreting must support both presentations and audience interaction. Organisers should send the agenda, slides, speaker names, terminology and videos, then choose consecutive or simultaneous delivery based on size, duration and programme pace.
What information should I provide when requesting seminar 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 seminar 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 seminar 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 seminar 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.
