In large international conferences, cross-border academic exchanges, press conferences and other occasions, simultaneous interpretation usually plays a vital role. These translation services are usually undertaken by professional translation teams to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of on-site translation. So, what is the charging standard for simultaneous interpretation services for a conference in Beijing?

　　1. Conference simultaneous interpretation charging standard

　　The cost of conference interpretation is usually evaluated comprehensively based on factors such as the translation language, translation mode, interpreter level, and translation time. Generally speaking, if it is English simultaneous interpretation, the basic fee is 5,000-8,000 CNY/day, while higher-level interpreters and special needs (such as international conferences or high-end academic activities) may cause the cost to rise significantly. The following are several major price factors:

　　(1) Translation language

　　The translation language significantly affects the price of conference interpretation. Common Chinese-English or bilingual translation has relatively transparent prices but fluctuates due to difficulty. Translation of small languages, such as Arabic and Portuguese, is more expensive due to its high professionalism and small number of interpreters.

　　(2) Translation mode

　　Different translation modes have different prices for interpretation. If you need to rent translation equipment, such as a simultaneous interpretation system, at the conference site, its cost should also be included in the cost.

　　(3) Interpreter level

　　Simultaneous interpreters have different fees for different levels. Taking English translation as an example, ordinary level interpreters cost 4,000 to 5,000 CNY a day, which can handle regular meetings. Authoritative interpreters for international conferences have rich experience and profound language and professional knowledge, and they can earn at least 10,000 CNY a day.

　　(4) Working hours

　　Conference interpretation is charged on a daily basis, with eight hours of work per day. If the interpreter only needs to work half a day, the general translation company will not charge half a day, but will charge 70% to 80% off. You need to communicate with the translation company in advance to confirm.

　　It should be noted that simultaneous interpretation services usually require teamwork, because a translator has limited energy. Especially for longer meetings, two to three translators are usually arranged to jointly take charge of the translation work. Therefore, the translation fee will also vary depending on the number of people in the translation team.

　　Why choose a professional translation company?

　　Large translation companies usually have more experienced translators and can provide suitable translators according to the needs of different meetings. In addition, formal translation companies usually inform the translator's level and fee details in advance to ensure that customers can clearly understand the cost of the required services, thereby avoiding subsequent fee disputes.

　　Choosing a professional translation company can not only ensure the quality of translation, but also effectively reduce the language barriers that may arise during the meeting. Especially in high-end international conferences, academic activities or business negotiations, the right translation company can ensure accurate translation and ensure the smooth progress of the meeting.
