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 in the Netherlands?
Tolk2Go works almost like a web shop for interpreters. You can browse interpreter profiles or send a free availability request in a few minutes.
- Describe your assignment. Choose language(s), date, time, on-site or remote, and any specialism (legal, medical, education, etc.).
- Send a free availability request. Interpreters receive your request via the Tolk2Go platform and respond with their availability and rates.
- 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.

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. Schools increasingly work with multilingual families, and accurate communication is essential for student progress. 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 that 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. Interpreters trained in educational settings understand how to maintain neutrality, cultural sensitivity and confidentiality — creating a safe conversation space for everyone involved. |

Interpreters in healthcare & occupational health service providers
|
|
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). This prevents misunderstandings about complaints, work capacity, absenteeism and reintegration obligations. For more information about specialised interpreters for occupational health, company doctors and safety-related conversations, visit our dedicated Occupational Health & Safety (Arbo) page. |

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:
Coordinating agendas for buyer, seller, estate agent and notary is already complex. Adding a sworn interpreter should not create extra hassle. With Tolk2Go you quickly receive several options for sworn-in interpreters for notaries. You choose who fits your clients and your office best. Notary appointments can be cancelled free of charge up to 48 hours in advance. More information about sworn notary interpreting can be found on our dedicated Certified Notary Interpreters page. |

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 — especially when dealing with emotional stories, crisis reporting or legal-sensitive statements. Tolk2Go understands that speed is crucial in news. Our interpreters can support on location, by phone or via video. We help you quickly find interpreters for interviews, documentaries, crisis reporting, background research and breaking stories. |

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, you can learn more on our dedicated HR & Employee Onboarding Interpreters page. For multilingual company training, workshops or learning programmes, you can visit our Training & Workshop Interpreters page. |

Supporting Companies & International Organisations With Clear and Professional Interpreting
Why companies need professionally trained interpretersMany 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 — and that we can quickly follow up if something needs attention. |
Your interpreting partner – flexible and reliable, without rigid contractsMany 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:
This combination gives companies the best of both worlds: the efficiency of an interpreter booking platform and the personal support of an interpreting partner. You can contact us via the contact page or schedule an appointment directly with Kristian: [email protected]. |

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.
In one word: speech confusion.
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.
