Book an Interpreter — Transparent & Fast
In short: See exactly what you pay, compare interpreter profiles side by side, and book in minutes — not days. No hidden costs, no contracts, no middlemen.
Available across the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and France
Interpreter booking the way it should be — transparent, fast and fair.
Transparent Interpreter Costs — No Surprises
At Tolk2Go, you see a clear cost breakdown before you book. Every component is visible upfront — interpreter rate, preparation time, travel costs and mediation fee. Click the orange question mark icon next to any price for the full breakdown.
This is fundamentally different from the traditional agency model, where you receive a single quote with no visibility into how it is calculated. On Tolk2Go, you know exactly where your money goes.
Each interpreter sets their own hourly rate. Rates vary based on language combination, specialisation and experience. You see the rate before sending a request — no negotiation, no surprises.
For assignments that require preparation (legal, medical, technical), interpreters may charge preparation time. This is displayed separately so you understand what you are paying for.
For on-site assignments, travel costs are calculated based on distance. For telephone or video interpreting, there are no travel costs. Everything is shown clearly before booking.
Tolk2Go charges a small mediation fee for facilitating the booking. This fee is visible in the cost breakdown — it is never hidden in the interpreter's rate.
Find & Compare Professional Interpreters
Every interpreter on Tolk2Go has a detailed profile page. This is not a generic listing — it is a full professional profile that gives you everything you need to make an informed choice.
- Background and experience: education, years of experience and professional history
- Language combinations: which languages the interpreter works in and which direction (e.g. Dutch to Arabic, Arabic to Dutch, or both)
- Specialisations: legal, medical, technical, notarial, business, education — see which sectors the interpreter has experience in
- Sworn status: Rbtv-registered interpreters are clearly marked — essential for legal, notarial and court assignments
- Rates: each interpreter sets their own rates. You can compare prices between interpreters for the same language and specialisation
- Photo and voice recording: most profiles include a photo, and some include a voice recording so you can hear the interpreter before booking
- Verified reviews: client reviews from previous assignments — honest, unfiltered and published on Reviews.io
How Booking Works
- Select the type of interpreter — on-site, telephone or video. Choose your language, location and date.
- Browse matching interpreters — the platform shows qualified interpreters for your specific request, sorted by availability and relevance.
- Compare profiles and rates — check qualifications, sector experience, reviews and prices. Take your time — you are in control.
- Send availability requests — request one or more interpreters simultaneously. They receive an instant notification and respond directly.
- Choose and confirm — compare responses, select your preferred interpreter and confirm the booking. Share any preparation materials.
- After the assignment — leave a review to help other clients. Companies receive an invoice; private clients have their deposit settled.
Why Tolk2Go Is Different
No anonymous assignment. You see who you are booking, what they charge, what others think of them and whether they are qualified for your situation.
Most requests are confirmed within minutes. No phone calls, no callbacks, no waiting. The platform sends instant notifications to matching interpreters.
No multi-year agreements, no minimum volumes, no subscriptions. Book one interpreter for one assignment — or book regularly. Your choice, your pace.
Interpreters set their own rates, manage their own schedule and build their reputation through verified reviews. A fair platform benefits everyone.
The platform never closes. Book an interpreter at midnight, on a Sunday or on a holiday. Your need does not follow office hours — and neither does Tolk2Go.
700+ unfiltered reviews on Reviews.io. Every review is published — no cherry-picking, no editing, no deletion by the platform.
All Interpreter Types Available
The interpreter comes to your location — office, hospital, courtroom, school, factory or event venue. Face-to-face interpreting for situations where physical presence matters.
Quick, remote interpreting by phone. Ideal for shorter conversations, urgent needs or situations where travel is not practical. Available 24/7.
Remote interpreting via video call — Zoom, Teams or another platform. Combines the benefits of visual communication with the flexibility of remote access.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do interpreter rates vary on Tolk2Go?
Each interpreter sets their own rate based on their experience, specialisation, language combination and the type of assignment. Rare language combinations and highly specialised sectors (legal, medical, conference) typically have higher rates. You can compare rates across interpreters before booking.
What is included in the cost breakdown?
The cost breakdown shows the interpreter's hourly rate, preparation time (if applicable), travel costs (for on-site assignments) and the Tolk2Go mediation fee. Click the orange question mark icon next to any price to see the full breakdown. There are no hidden costs.
How do I pay?
Companies are billed after the assignment is completed. Private clients pay in advance with a refundable deposit — if the assignment is cancelled within the allowed period, the deposit is returned. All payment terms are visible before you confirm the booking.
Can I compare multiple interpreters before booking?
Yes — this is one of the core features of Tolk2Go. You can send availability requests to multiple interpreters at the same time, then compare their profiles, qualifications, reviews and rates before choosing. You are never forced to book the first available option.
Do I need to create an account?
You can browse interpreter profiles and compare rates without an account. However, to send an interpreter request you do need to create a free account. Registration is quick — it takes less than a minute and gives you access to your booking dashboard where you can manage all your requests and assignments.
What if I need an interpreter urgently?
