Frequently Asked Questions

How is the cost of the interpreter's services formed?

The cost of an interpreter for a pregnant foreign woman in Brazil depends on several key factors.

Pay attention to the main criteria that are taken into account when calculating the price:

Type and complexity of work

• Medical translation. Requires knowledge of specific terminology, which makes such services more expensive than domestic translation.

• Legal translation. Work with documents, notaries or migration services is also priced higher due to complexity and responsibility.

• Household translation. Translation for renting a home, shopping or ordering a transfer usually costs less because it does not require specialized knowledge.

Format of work

• Face-to-face translation. Accompanying the client on-site (at a hospital, consulate, etc.) may include travel and waiting fees.

• Remote translation. Working via phone or video link is cheaper because the interpreter does not spend time traveling.

Duration

• Short-term orders. Hourly billing is the standard approach when a job takes several hours to complete. There is usually a minimum order time (e.g. 2-3 hours).

• Long-term accompaniment. The interpreter can offer discounts for a full day's work or for multi-day accompaniment.

Operating time

• Standard hours. Work on weekdays from 9:00 to 18:00 is cheaper.

• Night hours, weekends and holidays. Rate may increase due to irregular schedule.

Location and transportation costs

• Local orders. If the interpreter is located in your city, additional costs are minimal.

• Travel to another city or state. The client usually pays for travel, lodging, and per diem.

Qualifications and experience of the interpreter

More experienced professionals, especially those with medical or legal backgrounds, are more expensive. Their involvement is necessary for complex and critical tasks, such as childbirth or the processing of a child's citizenship.

Additional services

• Translation of documents. Can be billed separately (usually per page).

• Help with organizing your visit. For example, booking appointments or doctor consultations.

• Urgency. If an interpreter is required immediately, this may increase the price.

Indicative prices

• Hourly rate. From R$150 to R$300 per hour.

• Full day (8 hours). From R$800 to R$1,500.

• Translation of documents. From R$100 per page.

Are there discounts for long term follow up or ordering a package deal?

Yes, many companies, including BabyinBrazil, give discounts for long term follow up or ordering comprehensive packages. This allows clients to save money and get a more convenient service.

How it usually works:

1. Discounts for long term support

If an interpreter is needed for an extended period of time (e.g. a few days or weeks), you can expect a reduced cost.

• Full-time (8 hours). A reduced daily rate is often offered, which is cheaper than an hourly rate.

• Long orders (more than a week). Additional discounts are available (e.g. 10-20% off the standard price).

For example, instead of an hourly rate of R$200/hour, a rate of R$1,500 for a day or a special package for a week may be offered for an extended escort.

2. Service packages

Ordering multiple services as part of one package also lowers the overall cost.

Sample Packages:

• "Medical Support. Includes interpretation at all doctor's appointments, in the clinic, during labor and delivery and postpartum care. The cost of the package is lower than paying for each visit separately.

• "Legal Package. Includes assistance with birth certificate, citizenship, visa and other documents.

• "Full accompaniment". A combination of medical, legal and domestic services (transfer, assistance with housing, shopping).

Packages save up to 20-30% compared to ordering each service separately.

3. individual proposals

If a client has specific requests, companies can develop a personalized package. This makes it possible to take into account all needs and offer favorable conditions.

For example, a pregnant foreign woman traveling to Brazil to give birth may be offered a comprehensive accompaniment for the entire stay, including interpreter services, transportation and assistance with documents.

How do I request a discount or package deal?

• Clarify your needs and approximate schedule in advance.

• Discuss the possibility of discounts or offers with the company manager.

• Ask if there are special promotions or programs for long-term customers.

Is the time spent waiting for an interpreter, for example at a clinic, paid for?

In most cases, waiting time for an interpreter, for example in a clinic, is paid for as it is part of the interpreter's working time. However, payment rules may vary depending on the company or individual arrangements.

That's how it's usually organized:

1. Hourly rate

If the interpreter works at an hourly rate, the waiting time is included in the total bill.

• Waiting fees are paid at the standard rate unless otherwise agreed.

Some companies may offer a reduced rate for waiting time:

• Reduced waiting rate. For example, a standard translation is R$200 per hour and the wait is charged at a reduced rate of R$100 per hour.

• Incomplete payment. The client pays only for the interpreter's active time, and waiting time beyond reasonable limits can be negotiated separately.

3. Comprehensive packages

If the client chooses a package of services (e.g. medical escort), the waiting time may already be included in the fixed price. In such cases, additional waiting time fees are usually not required.

4. What is considered waiting time?

• Standard wait time. The time between the start of your visit and a doctor's call or other procedure.

• Delays. If a client is delayed or a doctor's appointment is postponed, this can also be considered waiting time.

5. How to avoid misunderstandings?

• Discuss the terms and conditions in advance. Ask how the waiting time is calculated and if there are additional rates.

• Make a contract. Clearly state the terms of payment, including waiting time.

• Schedule appointments. Try to coordinate your schedule with the clinic to minimize wait times.
