Interpreter Agency & Booking Platform for Companies in Europe

Why Professional Interpreters Matter for Your Organisation

Many organisations still use volunteers, bilingual employees or family members as "translators" in sensitive situations. That seems cheaper — but in practice it creates hidden costs and serious risks.

• Legal risk: unclear explanations or missing information during contracts, notary appointments or legal matters.
• Health & safety risk: misunderstood instructions for patients or employees (e.g. Occupational Health & Safety / Arbo providers).
• Reputation damage: people feeling unheard, disrespected or excluded because of language barriers.
• Time & efficiency loss: meetings that take twice as long, then need to be repeated.

A professional interpreter ensures that everyone understands and is understood — in healthcare, legal, business and education.

How Does Tolk2Go Work for Companies?

Tolk2Go works almost like a web shop for interpreters. You can browse interpreter profiles or send a free availability request in a few minutes.

1. Describe your assignment. Choose language(s), date, time, on-site or remote, and any specialism (legal, medical, education, etc.).
2. Send a free availability request. Interpreters receive your request via the Tolk2Go platform and respond with their availability and rates.
3. Compare and book. You see profiles, experience, reviews and rates — and you choose the interpreter that fits your organisation.

Sending an availability request is always free and without obligation. You stay in control: choose your interpreter, confirm only when it fits your needs, and see the total price upfront.

Interpreter Services for Healthcare, Legal, Education & International Business

Does your organisation support newcomers in health, finance or legal matters? Bridge the language gap with culture-sensitive and sworn interpreters.

Interpreters in Education

Interpreters are indispensable when talking to parents, helping children who are new to the school system get started, and ensuring safety, inclusion and educational quality.

It is not ideal if a child has to translate for their parent what the teacher says at a parent-teacher meeting. Children should never be placed in the position of relaying information about behavioural concerns, learning difficulties, emotional well-being or classroom incidents. A professional interpreter protects the child, supports the parent and ensures the school's message is conveyed accurately.

Professional interpreting is crucial when sensitive issues, student support plans, safety matters, disciplinary situations or complex learning needs are discussed.

"It was an excellent conversation and excellent interpreting for the parent we had the conversation with — professional and respectful." Mariëlle Holthausen

Interpreters in Healthcare & Occupational Health

A family member or child is not suitable as an interpreter in medical or occupational health conversations.

Our specialised interpreters support occupational health services, company doctors and reintegration teams in all types of conversations: sickness absence consultations, problem analyses, plans of approach, reintegration meetings, WIA-related discussions, HR and manager meetings, and periodic health checks (PAGO).

They are neutral, confidential and culture-sensitive, with strong knowledge of medical terminology and Dutch occupational health procedures (Arbowet).

More information: Occupational Health & Safety (Arbo) page.

"Very satisfied with the telephone interpreting. The translations were clear, neutral and added significant value to the conversation." Marion Terstal

"The company doctor gave very positive feedback. Concrete agreements could now be made with the employee." Dian

Interpreting at the Notary (Sworn Interpreter — Wbtv, Rbtv)

Notarial appointments require clarity, precision and a professionally trained, sworn interpreter. Tolk2Go works with interpreters who are officially registered under the Wet beëdigde tolken en vertalers (Wbtv) and listed in the Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators (Rbtv).

Whether your appointment concerns a property transfer, mortgage deed, prenuptial agreement or other notarial documents, a sworn interpreter ensures every detail is understood accurately and neutrally.

Pricing for notary assignments: 1–2 deeds, up to 1 hour on-site: from €280.

Notary appointments can be cancelled free of charge up to 48 hours in advance.

More information: Certified Notary Interpreters page.

"The German interpreter translated my explanation of the deed clearly for the clients — everything went smoothly." Marianne Van Der Laak

"Planning and fulfilment were essential for a purchase transfer and it went perfectly. Very positive experience." Peter

Sworn Interpreters & Legal Interpreting

Many of our interpreters are sworn interpreters in the Netherlands and Europe. They have solid education, experience and choose their own rates.

Our system also works outside office hours — ideal for last-minute court appointments.

Our sworn and legal interpreters support law firms, court hearings, mediation sessions and negotiation meetings, employment law cases and contract discussions, family law, custody cases and divorce procedures.

More information: Certified Legal Interpreters page.

"Very knowledgeable, fast and friendly interpreter. Knows a lot about family law and assisted my client very well." Amber

"Our interpreter handled a Skype court hearing very professionally — clear communication before and during the case." Erik

Interpreters for Press & Media

For journalists, editors and news agencies, reliable interpreters are essential to keep news reports accurate when interviewing refugees or other foreign-language speakers. Clear communication ensures that quotes, testimonies and sensitive stories are represented truthfully and respectfully.

Media work often involves high-pressure situations: fast-changing news cycles, tight deadlines and interviews that cannot be repeated. A professional interpreter helps avoid misunderstandings, mistranslations or loss of nuance.

Tolk2Go understands that speed is crucial in news. Our interpreters can support on location, by phone or via video.

"Tolk2Go works efficiently and quickly. Immediate clarity on costs. The interpreter was knowledgeable, committed and pleasant." Bart Nelissen

"The interpreter responded the same day, came on location and was very knowledgeable." Petra

Interpreters for International Companies

Many companies work internationally — in their workforce, partner network and supply chain. Misunderstandings in spoken communication can be embarrassing. Or worse: they can lead to unintended liabilities, lawsuits, fines or months of hassle.

If your organisation regularly conducts HR meetings, onboarding sessions, performance reviews or internal interviews in multiple languages, visit our HR & Employee Onboarding Interpreters page.

For multilingual company training, workshops or learning programmes, visit our Training & Workshop Interpreters page.

"During a mediation between employer and employee, the Mandarin–Dutch interpreter worked very professionally. Arranging everything via Tolk2Go was fast and easy." Marielou

"On Monday at 17:00 I requested a Chinese interpreter for a webinar. By 17:30 my complex request was already filled. Compliments." Lou

Why Companies Need Professionally Trained Interpreters

Many companies try to solve language barriers with bilingual colleagues, interns or family members. They mean well, but they are not trained to interpret accurately — especially in HR, medical, safety or legal situations.

Imagine this situation during a conversation with an occupational physician: The doctor asks: "Can you safely return to work for four hours a day?" An untrained interpreter might simplify it to: "You can work four hours." That one missing question completely changes a medical assessment, reintegration plan and legal responsibility.

Or during an HR performance meeting: The manager says: "This is a learning point, not a warning." An untrained interpreter might translate: "This is a warning." Causing unnecessary stress, mistrust and conflict.

Professional interpreters understand how easily meaning, tone and liability can change. They ensure accurate, confidential and unbiased communication.

With Tolk2Go, companies get access to trained, specialised interpreters for HR, occupational health, legal matters, safety briefings, onboarding, mediation and more. After every assignment, clients can leave a review. Our quality monitoring system ensures that our best interpreters rise to the top.

Your Interpreting Partner — Flexible & Reliable, Without Rigid Contracts

Many companies want consistent quality and a reliable partner, but without being trapped in inflexible contracts or minimum purchase commitments. That is exactly how Tolk2Go works.

You only pay for the interpreters you book — yet your organisation still benefits from the advantages of a long-term partnership:

• A dedicated Tolk2Go account manager who responds quickly and knows your team.
• Support for complex HR, legal or occupational health cases.
• Help selecting trusted, repeat interpreters for ongoing cases.
• Fast escalation if something needs to be resolved.
• No minimum purchase obligations — completely flexible.

You can contact us via the contact page or email Kristian (co-founder of Tolk2Go) directly.

The Hidden Costs of Using Volunteers to Interpret

We often hear from organisations: "It is far too expensive to use professionals — we use volunteers or our own staff."

In reality, it is often too expensive not to use professionals. The consequences of using well-intentioned family members, former citizens or volunteers usually outweigh the money you save.

Just because someone speaks both languages does not mean they have the necessary interpreting skills or specialist knowledge needed in medical, educational, legal or business situations.

What about the patient who did not dare to tell the whole truth about her pregnancy in front of her interpreting sister-in-law? Or the 11-year-old girl who had to tell her mother she had cancer?

Professional interpreters protect your clients, patients and organisation — and they protect your reputation.

Interpreter or Translator? We Help Both Search Groups

Many people search online for a "translator" when they actually need a spoken interpreter.

A translator works with written texts. An interpreter works with spoken language — live, by phone, video or on-site.

Tolk2Go is an interpreter agency and interpreter platform that focuses on spoken interpreting: on-site interpreting, video interpreting, telephone interpreting, and sworn interpreting where required (e.g. notaries and courts).

We make sure that people who search for "translator" still quickly reach the spoken interpreting service they actually need.

Remote & On-Site Interpreter Services in Europe

Tolk2Go is based in the Netherlands, with a strong focus on the Dutch market and neighbouring countries. We work with clients and interpreters across the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and France.

Many assignments are remote interpreter services for companies (video or telephone), others are on-site — for example at municipal offices, CBR locations, notary offices, schools or company premises.

Tolk2Go is also an official provider of interpreters for CBR exams. Candidates can arrange this step-by-step on our dedicated CBR interpreter page.
