What's the pricing structure?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Interpretation pricing runs hourly with half-day minimum and full-day standard rate. Rate varies substantively by mode (consecutive baseline, simultaneous higher due to paired-team discipline, court and legal higher due to specialised methodology depth), by language pair (Thai-English most common, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, ASEAN regional, German available), by paired-team requirement, by equipment scope (booth-tier equipment costed in for simultaneous, no equipment cost for consecutive or whispered). For institutional RFP-tier procurement (UN system, Big Law, multilateral, government), pricing runs through formal RFP under mutual NDA - substantive pricing structure aligns with engagement-letter framework and procurement governance discipline. Single-event scoping enquiries get indicative price range at 30-minute scoping call.\"}},\n      {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How far in advance do I need to book interpretation?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Substantive lead time depends on mode and engagement tier. Booth-tier simultaneous (Conference \/ AGM tier) needs longest lead time - ideally 3-4 weeks ahead, especially for peak season (SET-listed AGM Q1-Q2 concentration, conference season Q3-Q4). Lead time covers: paired-team capacity reservation, equipment partner coordination, equipment site visit at venue, glossary build 5 BD ahead. Consecutive and whispered (Single Event tier) can run on shorter lead time - typically 1-2 weeks, with glossary build still needing 5 business days ahead. Court and legal (Specialised Proceedings tier) typically follows court schedule (often 2-4 weeks notice). RSI \/ Remote needs tech rehearsal time on client platform, typically 1 week ahead.\"}},\n      {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Are your interpreters available for Thai courts and international arbitration?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes - court and legal interpretation is one of four primary modes. Substantive coverage runs across five categories: Thai court proceedings under Thai Civil Procedure Code (CCP) and Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), with interpreter sworn under affirmation at proceeding (Thailand has no sworn-interpreter national registry - court-appointed at each proceeding). Depositions and letters rogatory for cross-border legal matters. International arbitration at TAI (Thai Arbitration Institute), THAC (Thailand Arbitration Center), ICC (International Chamber of Commerce), SIAC (Singapore International Arbitration Centre). Immigration proceedings at Immigration Bureau. Police and prosecutor interviews at substantive investigation tier. Court and legal mode operates under verbatim accuracy discipline.\"}},\n      {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Do you provide remote \/ RSI interpretation? Which platforms?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes - Remote Simultaneous Interpretation (RSI), Video Remote Interpretation (VRI), Over-the-Phone Interpretation (OPI) are fourth primary mode. Othello interpreters work across institutional RSI platforms - Interprefy, KUDO, Zoom (Interpretation Booth feature), Webex, Microsoft Teams (with interpretation add-on), Boostlingo, major hybrid event platforms. Tech rehearsal pre-engagement mandatory - interpreter team plus client event team test audio routing, video latency, console mapping, internet redundancy, platform-specific features against ISO 24019:2022 platform requirements before live delivery. Cognitive load identical to in-person simultaneous - same paired-team requirement, same 20-30 minute rotation, same glossary lockstep.\"}},\n      {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What languages do you cover?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Othello interpretation bench covers Thai-English at substantive working level across all four modes (primary engagement language pair for Bangkok-based institutional market). Additional language pairs covered with substantive bench depth: Japanese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional \/ Mandarin and Cantonese), Korean, German, French. ASEAN regional language coverage: Vietnamese, Lao, Khmer, Burmese, Indonesian, Malay. For multi-language conference events, Othello coordinates multilingual booth deployment under ISO 4043 with paired teams per language pair. Less common language pairs available through institutional language network with substantive lead time. For UN-system multilateral events, standard six UN languages (English, French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Arabic) coordinated through institutional UN interpretation framework where Othello supplements host-language Thai coverage.\"}},\n      {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Do you supply equipment, or do I source it separately?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Equipment included in engagement quote rather than passed through as separate line item. For booth-tier simultaneous, Othello sources equipment through accredited Bangkok conference audio-visual partners with substantive equipment inventory, pre-event maintenance discipline, on-site technical operation, institutional venue access. Substantive simplification matters for institutional procurement governance - line-item ambiguity creates audit-trail friction at procurement evaluation tier. For venues with institutional booth standards and accredited equipment partner networks (UN Conference Centre Bangkok \/ UNCC, MFA Saranrom Palace, arbitration centres at TAI \/ THAC, top Bangkok 5-star conference hotels), Othello coordinates against venue institutional standard rather than imposing alternative equipment. Consecutive, whispered, court and legal modes don't require equipment beyond standard meeting-room audio. RSI \/ Remote runs through client chosen platform.\"}},\n      {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How does your interpretation discipline align with Othello's broader engagement framework?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Interpretation engagement runs under same engagement-letter accountability framework as Othello translation, ESG advisory, editorial work. NDA-from-first-email discipline applies. 4-pathway intent routing (RFP \/ scoping call \/ reference request \/ other) applies. 1-business-hour acknowledgement SLA applies. In-house bench discipline (no freelance handoff, no overseas vendor outsourcing, no consumer-AI exposure of substantive client content) applies. Termbase carry-forward across engagement-letter clients aligns with Translation Memory and termbase asset framework on translation side - substantive operational continuity matters for multi-year institutional retainer clients. Substantive integration runs on client side: SET-listed corporate engagement-letter client running annual AGM cycles plus quarterly board meetings plus 56-1 One Report translation gets unified bench coverage.\"}}\n    ]}\n  ]\n}\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Modes Standards Methodology Tiers Equipment Sectors FAQs Engage INTERPRETATION \u00b7 4 MODES UNDER ONE OPERATING DISCIPLINE \u00b7 ISO 2603\/4043 \u00b7 ISO 24019 \u00b7 AIIC-ALIGNED SIMULTANEOUS \u00b7 CONSECUTIVE \u00b7 COURT\/LEGAL \u00b7 REMOTE\/RSI Home\/Interpretation \u2605 FOUR MODES \u00b7 ONE OPERATING DISCIPLINE \u00b7 BANGKOK BENCH The booth interpreter performs at speed.
