How to read a simultaneous interpretation quote

A well-made simultaneous interpretation quote shows clearly what is being contracted. The main components are the interpretation service (the team of interpreters, with the rotation required for the duration of the event), the equipment, when the event is in person (booth, transmitter and receivers), the technical operator who follows the system and the delivery and setup logistics.

At lingo, the quote is presented as a single price to the client. The pair of interpreters, needed for long sessions, is an internal cost to lingo and does not appear as a separate item. Booth, transmitters, receivers and technical support are included. The quote amount is the final amount on the invoice, with no hidden items.

When comparing proposals, it is worth checking that they all include the same items. A seemingly cheaper proposal may leave out the technical operator, freight, backup equipment or the pair of interpreters, which changes the real cost and the event's risk.

What is included in each format

In the in-person UHF format, the quote includes the interpreters, the booth, the transmitter, enough receivers, the on-site technical operator and the setup and dismantling logistics. In São Paulo, in-person service has no additional travel fee. For other cities, round-trip freight is itemized.

In the remote format, RSI removes physical equipment and freight. The quote covers the interpreters, the configuration of the interpretation channel on the platform (Zoom, Teams, Meet or Webex) and the test with the host before the event. In general, it is the most economical option for small meetings and for dispersed participants.

In the hybrid format, the quote combines the two: equipment for those in the room and a language channel on the platform for those connected, with the same interpreter team serving both audiences. In general, it is cheaper than hiring two separate teams.

How to reduce cost without losing quality

Some organizer decisions reduce the final price without harming the interpretation. The first is to send material in advance: with the deck, agenda and glossary at hand, the interpreter prepares better and the briefing is shorter. The second is to define the duration and breaks clearly, since the quote works in bands of 2h, 4h and 6h.

The third is to reduce the number of active languages to what is necessary. Each active language is charged separately, and rare languages carry a surcharge. The fourth is to choose the right format: at meetings with few participants, RSI is usually more efficient than in person. The fifth is to concentrate events: clients with three or more events per month get special terms.

What is not worth saving on is the interpreter and the backup equipment. Poor interpretation costs more, in reputation and in time, than the difference between two proposals.

AI or human interpreter: which pays off in each case

lingo AI works with credits that do not expire and is suited to standardized, recurring technical content, such as product training and webinars. The lingo Human Interpreter is suited to high-prestige events, negotiations, legal content, events with cultural nuance and situations where physical presence and the confidentiality protocol make a difference.

The two can be combined at the same event: AI for the technical sessions and the human for the opening, ceremonies and sensitive sessions. lingo manages both services in an integrated way and issues a single quote.

Payment, invoice and lead times

Lingo Qi Interpretações LTDA issues an electronic invoice for all events and accepts payment by TED, PIX or international transfer in reais. For recurring events, monthly billing can be arranged. The quote comes as a PDF by email and WhatsApp, in 60 seconds.

As for lead times, the remote format can be contracted with about 48 hours' notice. For equipment in São Paulo, the minimum lead time is 72 hours; for other cities, 5 to 7 days, because of freight logistics. The earlier the request, the greater the flexibility to choose the interpreter and prepare the glossary.

Three examples of how the price changes

Consider a 3-hour board meeting in São Paulo, with two standard languages and 15 participants. It is a short event, with one active target language, in which the desktop booth and receivers are enough. The price tends to be that of a short band, with no freight and no travel, and RSI could be an alternative if part of the participants were remote.

Now a two-day congress, with 400 in-person participants, three languages and parallel programming. Here the quote includes more than one booth, more pairs of interpreters, receivers in quantity, a full-time technical operator and the logistics of distributing the receivers. The price grows because the complexity grows, not because lingo charges more for the same service.

Finally, a series of four-hour online training sessions, monthly, with standardized technical vocabulary. This is the case in which lingo AI, with credits that do not expire, can be more economical, and in which lingo can keep a backup human interpreter for the most critical sessions. In all cases, the path is the same: state the format and receive the quote in 60 seconds.

These examples are qualitative: actual figures depend on the date, the city, the languages and the duration. That is why lingo does not publish a price list, but an automatic quote that takes all of those variables into account and delivers the final amount as a PDF, with no commitment and no hidden items.
