Introduction
In this short introduction video, I explain how I can help you.
Most Frequently Asked Questions.
Here you can find out how I can help you make the most of your wonderful experience on the Riviera dei Cedri. Of course, if you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.
I work with two languages: English and Italian. Whether it’s translating written content or interpreting spoken conversations, I help people communicate seamlessly between these two languages.
People who aren’t familiar with the field often mix up these two expressions. The key distinction is: the translator writes, the interpreter speaks. So, the translator works with written texts, translating content like manuals, product sheets, catalogs, subtitles, technical documents, and more. On the other hand, the interpreter communicates orally with people speaking different languages at events like fairs, conferences, guided tours, or business negotiations.
Generally, translation rates are calculated per source word or per page.
There are no fixed rates for translations. Rates vary depending on the project. Factors that influence the price include the type of text, the format, the length of the text, and the delivery deadline. For example, an urgent translation costs more than a project I can work on with more flexible timing. Therefore, the rates are personalized. Contact me for a free quote: tell me about your project, including the deadline, and I’ll provide you with a tailored quote.
The price of an interpretation is based on a daily, hourly, or half-day rate. However, it should be noted that each interpretation quote takes into account not only the hours of work but also the time the interpreter needs to adequately prepare for the subject matter of the meeting or event that requires interpretation. Contact me for a free quote! I will get back to you as soon as possible.
