An interpreter is not a hobby, but a professional job.
A professional business does not solicit a $100 an hour job for free.
The only people who would accept this offer are not qualified to do it.
If you are planning a business trip to Japan to meet with suppliers and do not speak Japanese, then you need to budget in the cost of professional interpretation.
Just as you don't give away the clothes you sell, and interpreter does not give away the years spent studying to reach that level of expertise.
Please replan your trip accordingly.
