FAQ

Questions, answered

See all FAQs
Which languages and cities do you cover?

Our most requested languages are English, Arabic, Russian and Chinese, interpreted to and from Turkish. On-site support is available in Istanbul and Ankara, and in other cities on request; online interpreting works from anywhere. We confirm coverage for every request based on your language pair, location, date and interpreter availability.

How much does an interpreter cost?

Half-day interpreting starts from $140. The final price depends on the language pair, the type of appointment, the duration and the location, and it is always confirmed in your quote before you pay.

What does a half-day include?

Up to four hours of interpreting at one location. Longer assignments are quoted as full days or by the hour.

How far ahead should I book?

We recommend at least five working days before your appointment so we can confirm the right interpreter. Shorter notice is often possible — send your request and we’ll let you know quickly.

Is transport included?

Transport to and from the appointment is separate unless your quote says otherwise.

What if my plans change?

Tell us as soon as you know. We’ll re-check availability for the new date and confirm any change before anything is rebooked. Changes and cancellations follow the terms shown in your quote.
