Interpreting Services
A qualified, discreet interpreter for your own appointments, from a meeting with your solicitor to a private medical consultation.
Private interpreting is simply interpreting booked by you, for your own appointment, rather than by an employer or a public body. If you have an important meeting and English is not your first language, a private interpreter sits in with you and makes sure you follow every word and can say exactly what you mean.
Prism Linguistics arranges private interpreters across the UK in more than 300 languages. The setting may be more personal than a courtroom or a conference, but the interpreter is just as qualified, and your privacy is taken just as seriously.
Most people who book a private interpreter are facing one important appointment where a misunderstanding would matter. They want to walk in knowing they will understand what is said, and walk out knowing they were understood.
Often it is a legal matter: a meeting with a solicitor about a will, a divorce, a property purchase or an immigration application. Sometimes it is health: a private consultation, a second opinion, a conversation about a diagnosis that is too important to half-follow. It might be signing documents in front of a notary, attending a registrar's appointment before a wedding, or sitting down with a bank or a financial adviser.
Whatever it is, you should not have to rely on a relative or a friend to interpret something this important. A professional interpreter is neutral, accurate and discreet, and they free your family member to simply be there with you instead of working.

Personal appointments are personal. Every interpreter we send has signed a non-disclosure agreement, and nothing said during your appointment is repeated or recorded. Your contact details and the reason for your booking are handled in line with UK GDPR and seen only by the small team arranging your interpreter.
The interpreter's job is to relay, accurately and completely, what each side says. They will not give you advice, take sides or speak for you. The decisions stay yours. They are simply there so language never gets in the way of you making them.
Tell us the language, the date and what the appointment is for. We will arrange a qualified, discreet interpreter and give you a clear price first.
