Language Services FAQs

Quick answers to the questions people ask before picking a service.

What is the difference between translation and interpreting?
Translation converts written text from one language into another; interpreting converts spoken language in real time. A birth certificate or contract goes to a translator, while a court hearing or medical appointment needs an interpreter. Prism Linguistics provides both across the United States, in 326 languages.
Which interpreting service should I choose: in-person, phone, or video?
It usually comes down to the setting. Courts, depositions, and sensitive medical visits tend to go better with an interpreter in the room. Telephone interpreting is the fastest option and works well for short, unplanned calls. Video interpreting sits in between: you keep visual cues without the travel, which suits telehealth and remote hearings. If you are unsure, tell us the scenario and we will recommend one.
How much do language services cost?
As a US market guide: certified translation starts at around $24.95 per page, on-site interpreting typically runs $45 to $95 per hour depending on language and setting, and telephone interpreting is billed per minute. Treat these as guide figures rather than a price list; your free quote confirms the exact price before any work begins.
How fast can you deliver a translation or an interpreter?
Telephone interpreters are available 24/7 and usually connect within minutes. On-site interpreters in major metros can often be booked for the next business day. Short standard documents are typically translated in 24 to 48 hours, and same-day delivery is sometimes possible for short documents, subject to capacity.
Do you cover rare languages?
Yes. We work in 326 languages, including rare African and Asian languages where the US pool of qualified linguists is small. Every service on this page, from certified translation to telephone interpreting, draws on the same network of native-speaking, background-checked linguists.
