Grammatically, it's fine. There might be a little confusion about whether or not available background materials are already prepared, but that's more of a semantic thing! Smile

Thanks Redset. What I�m trying to say is that our interpreters will be working for an upcoming conference, and I�m asking my client if they have written materials available to be read out at the conference, so that our interpreters could get them in advance and prepare for the conference. (Well, that�s very important for the conference interpreters)

At this point, how to say this sentence naturally? Please advise. Thanks.
