Spanish Interpreting: Frequently Asked Questions
Can you match the specific Spanish regional variety we need?
Yes. When booking, specify the regional variety required, Castilian, Mexican, Rioplatense, or Caribbean. We assign interpreters whose native variety matches your delegates to avoid register mismatches.
Do you provide certified Spanish interpreters for US immigration courts?
Yes. We work with interpreters who meet EOIR and DOJ federal court standards. For immigration court and asylum hearings, please provide the case jurisdiction so we can confirm the appropriate credentials.
How much does Spanish interpreting cost for a half-day event?
Pricing depends on format (consecutive vs. simultaneous), on-site vs. remote, and subject matter complexity. We provide written quotes quickly. Simultaneous interpreting requires two interpreters rotating every 30 minutes.
What is the difference between consecutive and simultaneous Spanish interpreting?
Consecutive interpreting means the speaker pauses while the interpreter renders the content, suitable for meetings and depositions. Simultaneous interpreting happens in real time via booth or RSI platform, necessary for large conferences where pausing is not practical.
Can you provide Spanish interpreters for medical emergencies?
We maintain a rapid-response roster for urgent medical requests. Telephone (OPI) interpreting can often be arranged at short notice for hospital emergencies, with VRI as the preferred format when a visual connection is needed for clinical assessment.
