-
Choose Your Language

-
Select Date, Time & Location
Pick the date and time for your appointment. Need the interpreter in person? Enter your address — the platform calculates travel distance and costs automatically. Prefer remote? Choose telephone or video interpreting for a quick, travel-free connection.
-

Create Your Free Account & Send Your Request
Select your preferred interpreters and send your request. To submit a request you need a free account — registration takes less than a minute. Once sent, interpreters are notified instantly and typically respond within minutes.
What Happens After You Send Your Request?
Your request doesn't disappear into a queue. Here's exactly what happens next:
The interpreters you selected receive a push notification the moment you submit. They can respond immediately — even outside office hours, evenings and weekends.
Each interpreter checks their agenda and confirms or declines. Most respond within minutes. For common languages, same-day and next-day bookings are standard.
As soon as an interpreter confirms availability, you receive an email with their profile, rate and a confirmation button.
Review the available interpreters, compare profiles and costs, and click "Yes, I can" to confirm the interpreter you want. Done — your booking is locked in.

- Verified reviews: real client feedback on Reviews.io — no anonymous or filtered reviews
- Photo: most profiles include a photo so you know who to expect
- Full cost breakdown: interpreter rate, preparation time, travel costs and mediation fee — all visible before you confirm
- Availability status: interpreters confirm directly whether they can attend your specific date, time and location
- Free cancellation: cancel for free up to 48 hours before your appointment — no questions asked
Choose Your Interpreter Type
The interpreter comes to your location — office, hospital, court, school, notary or construction site. Enter your address and the platform calculates travel time and costs automatically.
Quick remote interpreting by phone. Ideal for shorter conversations, urgent situations or when travel isn't practical. No travel costs, available 24/7. Learn more.
Remote interpreting via video call — Zoom, Teams or another platform. Combines visual communication with the flexibility of remote access. Perfect for meetings and multi-party conversations.
Simultaneous interpreting for events, conferences and large meetings. Booth-based or remote (RSI). Requires at least two interpreters per language combination.
Why 1 Minute Makes a Difference
Traditional interpreter booking means phone calls, email chains and waiting for office hours. Tolk2Go removes all of that:
The platform is always open. Send a request at midnight and interpreters receive it instantly. No office hours, no voicemail, no "we'll get back to you Monday."
You choose the interpreter yourself based on profile, reviews and rates. No agency assigns a random interpreter on your behalf.
Every cost is visible upfront. Every interpreter profile is public. Every review is verified. No hidden fees, no anonymous assignments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an account to book an interpreter?
You can browse interpreter profiles and compare rates without an account. To submit an interpreter request, you need to create a free account — registration takes less than a minute. Once registered, you manage all bookings from your personal dashboard.
How fast do interpreters respond to my request?
Most interpreters respond within minutes. Availability is always confirmed the same day — guaranteed. For common languages like Arabic, Turkish, Polish or Tigrinya, same-day and next-day confirmations are standard.
Can I cancel or reschedule a booking?
Yes. You can cancel for free up to 48 hours before your appointment. Cancellations within 48 hours may incur costs depending on the interpreter's terms. All conditions are visible before you confirm. Rescheduling works the same way — cancel and rebook.
What is the difference between interpreting and translation?
Interpreting is spoken language support in real time — the interpreter listens and translates what is being said, either consecutively (with pauses) or simultaneously (in real time). Translation is written: a translator converts a document from one language to another. Tolk2Go provides interpreters for spoken communication, not written translators.
How much does it cost to book an interpreter?
Costs depend on the language combination, interpreter type, duration and whether the assignment is on-site or remote. Each interpreter sets their own rate. You see the full breakdown — hourly rate, preparation time, travel and mediation fee — before confirming. Companies are invoiced after the assignment; private clients pay a refundable deposit in advance.
Can I request multiple interpreters at the same time?
Yes. You can send availability requests to multiple interpreters simultaneously. Compare their responses, profiles, reviews and rates — then choose the one you prefer. You are never locked into the first available option.
What if I need an interpreter urgently — today or tomorrow?
The platform is available 24/7 and interpreters are notified instantly. With 1800+ interpreters across 190+ languages, last-minute bookings are regularly confirmed — even for same-day requests. Submit your request and you'll typically hear back within minutes.
