4 Essentials Before Hiring Interpretation, Translation & SIE Providers
Technical Quality & Equipment Reliability
For SIE: Verify that the equipment (booths, headsets, transmitters, microphones) meets international standards (ISO-compliant where possible).
Ensure backup systems are available in case of technical failures.
Ask about setup, testing, and on-site technician support to avoid disruptions during sessions.
Interpreter & Translator Expertise
Confirm interpreters and translators are qualified, experienced in your event’s subject matter, and preferably accredited (AIIC, UN, AU, COMESA, etc.).
Check language coverage matches your audience — including regional/local languages if relevant.
Request CVs, references, or bios of interpreters to ensure credibility.
Service Scope & Flexibility
Clarify whether the provider covers both translation of documents (agendas, presentations, reports) and live interpretation (simultaneous or consecutive).
Understand if they can scale — e.g., provide additional booths, multiple language channels, or extra interpreters if needed.
Confirm availability for rehearsals, pre-event briefings, and extended sessions.
Cost Structure & Contract Terms
Request a detailed quote that separates equipment rental, interpreter fees, translation rates (per word/page), technician support, transport, and overtime charges.
Ask about cancellation policies, minimum booking hours for interpreters, and what’s included (setup, testing days, standby support).
Ensure clear terms for overtime, travel, per diems, and accommodation if required.
