▮Requirements from DIGNITY Danish Institute Against Torture
Dignity Danish Institute Against Torture contacted us thanks to a recommendation from one of our satisfied clients, in search of 6 professional English and Arabic simultaneous interpreters and simultaneous equipment related to a Working Group on Health MENA Regional Forum for Monitoring of Places of Detention and Prevention of Torture.
▮Our solution
Our project manager contracted 2 distinguished English and Arabic conference interpreters in Istanbul who specialized in humanities and human rights. In addition, we also arranged simultaneous equipment consisting of a booth, sound system, headphones, table microphones etc. Program and reference documents were sent upfront to the interpreters. A supervisor from ALS was present at the event to make sure everything is running on track.
▮Achievement
The event was successfully delivered with smooth simultaneous interpretation throughout the sessions. Clear communication between English- and Arabic-speaking participants enabled productive discussions during the forum.
With proper preparation, interpreter coordination, and technical supervision, we supported DIGNITY – Danish Institute Against Torture in facilitating a multilingual international event focused on human rights and detention monitoring.
