Planning the Day

An Interpreter Who Moves With You

Escort and liaison interpreting is consecutive interpreting on the move: short exchanges, changing places and people, and a lot of practical help in between.

1

Half Day or Full Day

A half day suits a single meeting or viewing. A full day covers a programme of visits, including travel between them and a business lunch. For delegations over several days, one interpreter throughout keeps names, context and relationships consistent.

2

Travel Across the Emirates

Programmes often span Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the northern emirates in one day. Share the full itinerary when you book: start point, each stop and the expected finish, so travel time is planned and agreed in the quote rather than discovered on the day.

3

Dress Code and Etiquette

Our interpreters dress in business attire by default, and wear safety gear on industrial sites where it is required. They are briefed on local courtesy in government offices and family businesses: greetings, seating, titles and when to step back. Tell us about any specific dress or protocol requirement.

Visits We Cover

Visits and Days We Accompany

Arabic⇄English as standard, other languages on request. Tell us who is visiting and why, and we match an interpreter to the programme.

◆

Business Delegations

Trade and investment delegations moving between meetings, with the interpreter handling introductions, small talk and the substance of each meeting.

◆

Site & Factory Visits

Plant tours, supplier visits and project site walks, where technical questions come quickly on a noisy floor. For larger groups, a tour-guide system helps.

◆

Government Visits

Meetings at ministries, free zone authorities and government service centres, where formal Arabic and correct protocol matter.

◆

Property Viewings

Viewings with agents and developers, and the questions that follow on payment plans, service charges and handover. Contracts can be translated before you sign.

◆

Medical Appointments

Accompanying visiting patients and families to consultations and follow-ups in the UAE, with a medical interpreter where the subject requires one.

◆

Travel Days & Errands

Arrival days, bank and service-centre visits, and practical errands for executives or families settling in.

FAQ

Common Questions

What does an escort or liaison interpreter do? +

An escort or liaison interpreter accompanies a person or small group through meetings, visits and travel, interpreting short exchanges in both directions as they happen. It is consecutive interpreting on the move, without equipment, and often includes informal conversation as much as formal meetings.

Should I book a half day or a full day? +

Book a half day for one meeting or viewing in one place. Book a full day when there are several stops, travel between emirates or a business meal. If the programme might run over, say so when booking so overtime can be agreed in advance.

Can the interpreter travel between emirates with us? +

Yes. We take bookings across the UAE. The interpreter can ride with your group or travel separately and meet you at each stop. Share the full itinerary so travel time is reflected in the quote.

What does the interpreter wear? +

Business attire by default, suited to government offices and corporate meetings. For factories and construction sites, the interpreter wears the safety gear the site requires, which is usually provided by the host. Let us know of any specific dress requirement in advance.

Can one interpreter cover a group? +

For a small group that stays together, yes. For a larger group on a noisy site tour, a tour-guide system lets everyone hear the interpreter through headsets, and we rent these with the booking. If the group splits into parallel meetings, you need one interpreter per meeting.

Do you provide escort interpreters for government meetings? +

Yes. We accompany visitors to ministries, free zone authorities and service centres, interpreting in formal Arabic and observing local protocol. The interpreter interprets; they do not act for you or submit applications on your behalf.

Can an interpreter come to property viewings with me? +

Yes. The interpreter helps you question agents and developers on price terms, payment plans, service charges and handover. Before you sign, have the contract translated in writing, as a spoken summary is no substitute.

Can you accompany a visiting patient to hospital appointments? +

Yes. For consultations, consent discussions and test results we assign an interpreter familiar with medical terminology. Our guide to hospital interpreting and patient consent explains what to expect.

What happens if the programme changes on the day? +

Programmes often shift: a meeting runs long, a site visit is added or a stop is cancelled. The interpreter adapts within the booked time. If the day extends beyond it, overtime applies at the rate agreed in the quote, so confirm any major change with us as early as you can.

How much does an escort interpreter cost in the UAE? +

Interpreting is quoted on request. The price depends on half-day or full-day booking, the number of days, language pair, travel between emirates and any overtime. Send your itinerary on WhatsApp for a quote.
