Interpreting
A qualified interpreter, on time
ABOUT
Interpreting is the one service on this site sold as a booking, not a document order — you need to be understood live, in the moment, whether that's a formal appointment or a business negotiation. Unlike a translation order, the constraint isn't turnaround days, it's scheduling: we state the minimum booking length and how far ahead to book up front, as scheduling reality rather than something you discover at checkout.
This service serves individuals attending NAV, court or medical appointments, and businesses handling negotiations or official meetings — on-site in Oslo, or remotely by video or phone when travel isn't practical. On-site bookings run a minimum of 2 hours and need at least 2 working days' notice; video and phone bookings run a minimum of 1 hour with at least 1 working day's notice.

PROCESS
How this service works
- 01Order — choose your unit and language pair, add to cart.
- 02Translate — routed to a specialist in this subject area.
- 03Review — an independent second linguist checks it.
- 04Deliver — digital by default, stamped hard copy on request.
Booking replaces "delivery" here — after you order, we confirm the interpreter, the exact time, and (for on-site) the location, rather than sending a translated file.
Tell us the subject area (medical, legal, business) at booking so we match an interpreter with relevant working vocabulary.

FAQ
Service FAQ
How far ahead do I need to book?
At least 2 working days for on-site interpreting, at least 1 working day for video or phone. If your appointment is sooner, contact us directly — we'll tell you honestly if it's possible.
What happens if I need to cancel?
Free cancellation or rescheduling up to 24 hours before the booking. Cancelling within 24 hours is charged at 50% of the booking value, because an interpreter's time has already been reserved for you.
Can the same interpreter attend multiple sessions with us?
Where scheduling allows, yes — mention it when booking and we'll try to keep continuity, particularly useful for an ongoing legal or medical matter.
Is video interpreting as reliable as on-site?
For most business and appointment settings, yes — it removes travel time and cost. For situations with sensitive documents to review together in person, on-site may be more practical; we're happy to advise when you book.
Do you interpret for less common language pairs?
Contact us with your language pair when booking — availability varies more for interpreting than for document translation, so we confirm capacity before taking the booking.
