FAQs

Common Questions About Business Interpreting

How do you match interpreters for business negotiations?
We use a detailed intake process that captures your industry, the nature of the negotiation, terminology involved, and cultural context. Interpreters are matched by business expertise and language specialization, a technology M&A negotiation gets an interpreter with tech and finance vocabulary, not a general linguist.
Can your interpreters handle confidential financial discussions?
Yes. NDAs and confidentiality agreements are standard for all corporate assignments. Our interpreters are vetted for discretion and bound by professional ethics codes. We regularly support M&A due diligence, investor communications, and board-level discussions.
Do you provide simultaneous interpretation for large meetings?
Yes. We provide simultaneous interpretation with professional equipment (receivers, booths, microphones) for conferences, investor days, and multilingual meetings. For smaller negotiations, consecutive interpretation is typically more appropriate.
What languages are most common for business negotiations?
The most requested languages for corporate negotiations include Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, German, and French. We cover 200+ languages and can staff interpreters for any language pair your business requires.
How far in advance should I confirm a business interpreter?
We recommend 1-2 weeks for high-stakes negotiations to allow proper interpreter matching and pre-meeting preparation. For standard meetings, 48 hours is typically sufficient. Urgent requests are accommodated when possible.
Can you provide interpreters for multi-day negotiations?
Yes. We regularly staff multi-day and multi-week assignments including M&A processes, international trade missions, and ongoing partnership negotiations. Continuity of interpreter is maintained throughout the engagement.
Do your interpreters understand business etiquette across cultures?
Yes. Our business interpreters are selected for cultural intelligence, understanding communication norms, formality levels, negotiation styles, and business protocols specific to each culture. This prevents cultural missteps that can derail negotiations.
