Youpret – Finland's leading interpreting service – expands its cost-efficient services to Iceland

Reykjavik, Iceland – 24.9.2025 – One of the leading interpreting services in Finland, Youpret, has officially launched operations in Iceland. Founded in Finland in 2016, the company intermediates over 1,000 interpreting assignments daily mainly from Finnish and Swedish language pairs, and is now available also from Icelandic.

Youpret provides both on-site and remote interpreting by booking, but one of its key strengths lies in instant interpreting. The Youpret technology automatically matches clients with interpreters within minutes, offering a faster, more flexible and more cost-effective solution than traditional services.

Youpret offers interpreting at the moment from Icelandic to Polish, Arabic, Spanish, Lithuanian, Ukrainian, Albanian and Romanian language pairs, with additional languages to be introduced all the time.


We are excited to launch Youpret Iceland! The interpreting market in Iceland is still developing, with few established players, high client costs, and interpreters often receiving less than half of the clients’ payment. At Youpret, the majority of the commission always goes to interpreters, with full transparency in the division, says Guðmundur Freyr Magnús, CEO of Youpret Iceland.

The Youpret app helps maintain a high standard in interpreting: clients can rate interpreters and give them feedback, mark favorite interpreters for future assignments and look up past assignments. All Youpret’s interpreters are bound by confidentiality agreement and interpreters’ ethical guidelines.


Our experience in Finland shows that once clients try remote and instant interpreting, they have realized how cost-effective and convenient it is. The shift has happened during the last years in Finland and many other countries, says Teemu Purmonen, Co-founder and Chair of the Board, Youpret Oy.

The benefits of remote interpreting for the Iceland region are:

  • No travel costs or unpaid hours for interpreters
  • Greater efficiency and ability to accept more assignments
  • Cost-effective and more predictable prices for clients
  • Increased privacy protection in small communities where interpreters may know clients personally
  • Very short response times with instant interpretation

Cornerstones in Youpret’s operations are the advanced technology and automation as well as focus on corporate social responsibility. From the beginning we have aimed to be the fairest operator in the industry, Purmonen continues.

Youpret gained the highly valued, global B Corp sustainability certification in late 2024. Interpreting can be ordered through Youpret’s website (youpret.is) as well as via free Youpret app (download from Google Play and the >Apple App Store).
