Interpreters who carry the meeting, not just the words
Business meeting interpreting in consecutive or whispered mode, on site across Spain or by video, with your materials studied beforehand under NDA.
An interpreter for business meetings renders negotiation live between languages while keeping its register: nuance, technical vocabulary, and the space between what is said and what is meant. Orion Translations staffs business interpreters on site across Spain and by video worldwide, NDA-ready, with meeting materials reviewed in advance.
Deals are won and lost in nuance
In a negotiation, "we could consider that" and "we accept that" are different continents, and hedges, conditionals and politeness formulas carry the real information. A bilingual colleague relays words; a professional business interpreter relays position, keeping your counterparty’s exact degree of commitment intact in both directions.
That is why our meeting interpreters prepare like participants: agenda, deck and term sheet read in advance under NDA, sector vocabulary rehearsed, and the same interpreter retained across negotiation rounds so context compounds instead of resetting.

How much does a meeting interpreter cost?
Half-day and full-day rates on site (plus travel outside the base city), hourly by video; specialisation and language pair set the rest. One misread concession costs more than a year of interpreting, which is how our clients account for it.

Spanish business culture, interpreted too
Meetings between Spanish and foreign teams cross more than vocabulary: formality gradients, relationship-first sequencing, and variant differences between Spain and Latin America all shape how positions land. Our Spanish-English interpreters carry that layer as part of the job, matched to your counterpart's market.
Around the meeting: documents and events
Deals generate paper: term sheets, contracts and minutes translated by our business translation team from the same glossary your interpreter used, so nothing shifts between the room and the signature. When the meeting grows into an event with audiences, conference interpreting takes over with equipment and simultaneous teams.
Every position, every nuance, understood exactly as intended.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A business meeting interpreter renders the conversation live between languages, usually consecutively or whispered, while holding the register of the room: negotiation nuance, technical vocabulary, and the difference between what is said and what is offered. Good business interpreting is invisible; the meeting simply works.
- By half-day or full day for on-site work, hourly for video meetings, with rates set by language pair, subject specialisation and location. Against the value of the deal in the room, it is a rounding error, and dramatically cheaper than a misunderstanding. Fixed quote within one business day.
- Consecutive (speaker pauses, interpreter renders) suits negotiations and small meetings where precision leads. Whispered (chuchotage) suits one or two participants following a meeting held in another language, without interrupting its flow. We recommend per agenda, and both cost the same to staff.
- Yes to both, and please do: agendas, decks, term sheets and technical vocabulary reviewed in advance under NDA are the difference between an interpreter who follows your meeting and one who anticipates it. Confidentiality is standard professional duty; the NDA formalises it for your counsel.
- Yes, daily: remote business interpreting joins your call like any participant, in consecutive mode or on a separate interpretation channel. It is the economical default for recurring meetings, with in-person reserved for the sessions where presence earns its travel.
- Spanish-English in both directions leads, with the interpreter matched to the counterpart’s variant (Spain versus Latin America), followed by French, German, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese and Chinese among 25+ languages. For rare pairs, remote widens availability instantly.
- Yes, and you should: continuity compounds. An interpreter who carried round one arrives at round three knowing the deal, the personalities and the sensitive points. We assign for the process, not the appointment, whenever your schedule allows it.
