Here is a list with the most FAQs about interpreting services:
What's the difference between translation and interpreting?
Translation the process of translating words or text from one language into another. Interpreting refers to the oral transfer of speech from one language into an other. Both refer to taking information from one language (also known as source language) and translating it to another (also known as target language).
What is a professional/certified/qualified interpreter?
Contrary to popular belief, being bilingual does not mean that one is qualified to interpret professionally. A professional, certified, or qualified interpreter is an interpreter who has been assessed for their professional interpreting skills and has the appropriate training and experience to provide language services accurately and in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Interpreters.
What is the best type of interpreting for my event?

Such aspects are the number of participants, the venue, etc. Feel free to contact me to discuss in further detail and figure out what type of interpreting is best for your event.
What languages do you interpret from?
My working languages are Greek, English, German, and Spanish. However, if you are interested in another language combination, don't hesitate to reach out.

What information will I need to provide when making a request?
Information such as the date, the location, and the topic of your event, as well as supporting documents and materials should be shared with the interpreter before the assignment. All information will be kept confidential. After booking your assignment, I provide you with a confidentiality agreement that ensures that all information provided will be used for the agreed purposes of the assignment and will not be disclosed to third parties.
