In general, the cost of language interpreting services depends on seven factors:
- The number of interpreters required
- The language combinations required
- The complexity of the subject matter
- The duration of the interpreting service
- The type of sound equipment required
- The location of the interpreting service
- The date(s) of the interpreting service
The language combinations required
Dixon provides interpreting services covering wide range of language combinations (English, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, German, French, Polish, for example). However, as a result of the extremely technical nature of simultaneous interpreting (sometimes called "simultaneous translation") and the relatively small number of professional simultaneous interpreters available at any one moment, the configuration at short notice of certain language combinations may present difficulties. We therefore strongly recommend the booking of simultaneous interpreting services with the greatest possible advance notice.
