Bengali interpretation starts at ₩100,000 per hour. The right mode depends on the setting and the number of participants, so read the notes below before you enquire.
Consecutive
The speaker pauses and the interpreter renders each passage. One interpreter, no equipment needed. Meetings run longer because speech and interpretation alternate.
Simultaneous
Interpretation runs almost in step with the speaker. Requires a booth and receivers, and two interpreters working in rotation. Meeting time is unaffected, which suits larger events.
Escort
The interpreter accompanies the whole schedule, including travel and meals. Used for plant visits and trade fairs where the location keeps changing.
Typical settings
- Business meetings and negotiations
- Seminars and presentations
- Overseas business trips
- Trade fairs and exhibitions
Send us material in advance and we prepare the terminology. Slides, an attendee list and the agenda are reviewed together in the pre-assignment meeting.

What actually matters in this language
- Bengali has many conjunct consonant letters, so rendering varies by font. We check how subtitle files actually display before delivery.
- Bangladesh and India's West Bengal share the language but differ in vocabulary and idiom, so we confirm the target region at intake.
