CHOOSE THE RIGHT SOLUTION FOR THE JOB:

Example:
You are organising an international conference with speakers who speak Dutch, French and English. Not all attendees understand these three languages, but you do want everyone to be able to follow the speakers and their presentations in their native language. You also want participants to be able to ask the speakers questions in their own language afterwards.

So what do you need in this case?

  • 2 interpreters Dutch – French and Dutch – English with experience in your sector
  • 2 interpreter cabins (1 per language combination), headsets for the audience, microphones for the speakers
  • sound amplification and technical support

Contact us!

Example:
A pharmaceutical company wants to introduce a new drug on the Brazilian market, but requires permission from the Brazilian health authorities. A team of Brazilian auditors comes to your company to assess a number of processes and talk to your employees.

So what do you need in this case?

  • An interpreter Dutch – Portuguese (Brazilian)  who is able to interpret both simultaneously and consecutively,
  • who has experience with audits in the pharmaceutical industry,
  • who can verbally translate documents at the request of the auditors.

Contact us!

Example:
A new piece of equipment made by a German manufacturer is taken into production in your factory. The supplier sends a technician to train your employees. However, the production workers don’t understand German and would like to be able to ask questions in their native language.

So what do you need in this case?

  • A simultaneous interpreter NL <> DE with experience in the industry and solid technical background knowledge.
  • a mobile interpreting system suitable for a noisy manufacturing environment. (see image)

When you come into contact with government services in Flanders, you are expected to speak Dutch. But for you, that may not actually be a matter of course. If you feel that you cannot express yourself sufficiently in Dutch to handle administrative matters, it is time to call on a sworn interpreter.

A few examples:

  • Driving test: increase your chances of passing by using a sworn interpreter during the practical and/or theoretical driving test (SBAT).
  • Wedding: get assistance from a sworn interpreter when you get married at the Registry Office of your municipality.
  • Court/lawyer: if you wish to file a request before the court and appear as a claimant, or if you would like to be able to talk to your lawyer in your native language.

INTERNATIONAL SALES EVENT FOR COMPANY IN THE FOOD & BEVERAGE INDUSTRY

A successful Belgian family business was looking for a solution to further professionalize its annual international sales meetings.

A bilingual employee used to facilitate translation between the Dutch and French speaking participants and speakers. However, with the expansion of the company’s activities to the UK, a third language now had to be covered. It became impossible for the employee to interpret into three languages.

The company was therefore looking for a professional solution and contacted us to provide simultaneous translation for all participants. After the event the client congratulated the interpreters for the excellent quality of their translation.

> Number of participants: 90
> Languages: English, French, Dutch
> 2 interpreting booths
> Wireless hand-held microphones and tie-pin microphones for the speakers.
> Headsets for the participants, sound system and amplification.

Helping you reach a wider audience by breaking through the language barrier.
