English ↔ French Interpretation Services in Lomé
Fluid, barrier-free communication for your events, meetings and official proceedings — I connect you with the right interpreter for the assignment.
For individuals as well as businesses, NGOs and institutions.
Types of Interpretation Offered
Whether you're negotiating a contract, welcoming an international delegation or running a seminar, I offer tailored interpretation services built on absolute fidelity to the message and complete confidentiality.
- Liaison interpretation — business meetings, site visits, professional negotiations, as well as personal appointments: consular or immigration interviews, notary, bank, medical or administrative appointments.
- Consecutive interpretation — official speeches, press conferences, short presentations (the speaker pauses every few sentences).
- Official support / diplomatic missions — administrative procedures, contract signings, official visits in Lomé.
- Simultaneous conference interpretation — for large multilingual conferences and seminars, delivered by a two-interpreter relay team (booth/headsets). Custom quote only.

Rates shown are excl. tax, applicable to the three services above. If a formal invoice is requested (individuals or businesses), VAT is added at the applicable rate. Simultaneous conference interpretation (booth, two-interpreter team) is always quoted individually, at a higher rate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Translation deals with written documents (contracts, diplomas, certificates…); interpretation deals with spoken language, in real time, during a meeting, event or appointment. The two require different skills — I offer both, each with its own page and pricing.
French ↔ English only.
No. Individuals, businesses, NGOs and institutions can all book — for a business meeting as well as a personal appointment (consular interview, notary, bank, etc.).
It's the most common and flexible form: I facilitate conversation between two or more parties, without equipment, in an informal or semi-formal setting (meeting, negotiation, interview, visit).
It requires a booth, headsets, and a two-interpreter relay team — no one can sustain simultaneous interpreting alone for long. It's therefore a distinct service with its own cost and logistics.
Rates cover the assignment within Lomé. Outside Lomé, travel and accommodation costs are added — contact me for an exact quote based on location.
Yes, on a custom quote depending on duration and complexity.
For liaison or consecutive interpretation, book at least 48 hours in advance. For simultaneous conference interpretation (two-interpreter team, equipment), please allow at least one week to organise the team and logistics.
Yes, a deposit of 30–50% is required to confirm the booking; the balance is due on the day of the assignment.
Cancellation is free if made at least 48 hours before the assignment. For late cancellations (less than 48 hours' notice), partial billing applies to cover preparation time already committed.
Displayed prices are excl. tax (HT). If you need a formal invoice (individual or business), VAT is added at the applicable rate.
Where possible, please share in advance the agenda or programme, any relevant documents, and any sector-specific vocabulary or acronyms. This allows for thorough preparation and more accurate interpretation on the day.
Yes. As with my translation services, all information exchanged during an interpretation assignment remains strictly confidential.
