A Tour with an Interpreter

If you're looking for the best interpreter in Istanbul, you're in the right place. And if you're looking for enough information to go on, you can keep reading this article to get what you need.

The first thing on the mind of an Arab arriving in Turkey is having a trustworthy Turkish-Arabic interpreter, to avoid running into negative situations or, at times, fraud — especially for those wanting to shop, start a business, sign a commercial contract, or buy property. You need someone you trust standing by your side in your dealings and affairs, covering your translation and agreement needs.

At Hallak Services Company, we offer an accompanying interpreter service for businesspeople, traders, and those wishing to sign contracts, reach agreements, or buy property. You need your own personal interpreter, to get your idea across, whether in your native language or the language you want it translated into.

Pricing for Consecutive Interpretation or an Accompanying Interpreter

Interpretation pricing in Turkey varies due to several factors; we list the most common below:

• The more requirements and details involved, the higher the price for consecutive interpretation — for example, needing to travel by car from one place to another varies depending on the effort, distance covered, and time lost.

• Interpretation between three languages — for example, Arabic, English, and Turkish — costs noticeably more than interpretation between just Arabic and Turkish or vice versa.

• Interpretation related to a specific specialty is best booked and scheduled in advance, so the interpreter can review and prepare the necessary terminology related to the field (for example, interpreting at a hospital for a surgical procedure to remove a cancerous mass, God protect us all) — of course, as mentioned, this requires scheduling the appointment in advance.

• The time period — meaning the longer the duration, the higher the cost. Naturally, one hour of consecutive interpretation is not the same as interpretation lasting 3 hours.

• Additional client requests, such as recording the interpretation or transcribing it in writing, are all reasons that increase consecutive interpretation prices.

• Simultaneous interpretation at exhibitions and conferences is the most expensive, due to the accuracy required in conveying information, the speed of the conversations, and the long duration — especially if it's an exhibition specialized in a particular field, which requires a great deal of advance preparation.

When and Where Might You Need a Sworn, Accompanying Interpreter? Save the Number for When You Need It.

• If you, or a relative of yours, end up in prison, the lawyer's special power of attorney to handle the case file is carried out inside the prison, so a sworn interpreter appointed by the notary is required to attend, along with the notary, to properly carry out the power-of-attorney procedures at the prison facility.

• Some police stations require the presence of a sworn interpreter to process reports related to theft, lost items, or complaints. So keep Hallak Services Company's number on hand for any emergency, God forbid.

• Banking procedures, especially large transfers that the bank may flag as suspicious of fraud, may require the client to bring a sworn interpreter to verify and confirm the purpose of the transfer or the funds being sent.

At Hallak Services Company, we provide you with your own personal interpreter, always by your side, to facilitate your transactions and help you with contracts, professionally and accurately. All you need to do is save the number so you can reach us whenever you need to.
