Pashto interpretation starts at ₩150,000 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.

Pashto script (an extended Arabic script, right-to-left / RTL)
What actually matters in this language
- As a right-to-left (RTL) language, the layout mirrors left and right, and fonts that lack the Pashto-specific letters absent from Arabic will break the text.
- Documents frequently combine Pashto with Dari, so we confirm the language makeup of the source at intake.
