Case Study: Providing Conference Interpreting Solutions for a Global Veterinary Conference
Boston, MA – Language Connections recently provided conference interpreting services for the World Congress of Veterinary Dermatology (WCVD). Clear multilingual communication is essential to running effective international conferences. As a 30 year veteran of the language service industry, Language Connections made the event a success by developing customized conference interpreting solutions to meet the client’s unique needs.
The Time Difference
The 12-hour time difference between our interpreting project management team and Japanese representatives of the conference organizers made effective coordination a top priority.
Technical Terminology:
Because of the complex veterinary terminology and specialized subject matter of the conference, finding qualified professional interpreters that also met the client’s budgetary requirements proved challenging.
Coordinating With The Venue:
Another challenge involved complying with regulations set by the venue while implementing a set-up for hybrid interpreting services.
Interpreter Selection:
In order to accommodate for the drastic time difference, our project managers worked after business hours to extend availability and avoid communication delays. The team also took time to meet with the client before the event to determine the set-up and coordinate interpreting arrangements for the conference. Using our network of over 4,000 skilled, certified linguists, we were able to find interpreters that were subject matter experts in veterinary terminology.
Implementing A Hybrid Interpreting Set-Up
Due to lack of local resources with necessary expertise, the client opted for a customized hybrid interpreting solution that accommodated the specific requirements of the client as well as the venue. While the audience and our technical support team were on-site, our interpreters joined the conference virtually. Cameras were installed at the venue to provide a live video feed for the interpreters, ensuring they could see the stage clearly. Additionally, audio from the microphones was streamed to our interpreting equipment team’s laptop, allowing the interpreters to hear all panelists and audience interactions. The interpreters’ translated audio was then streamed from the same laptop to a transmitter, which distributed it to receivers worn by on-site attendees requiring Japanese translation.
The client was very impressed with the services we provided. Thanks to our deep pool of interpreting talent and our dedicated project management team, Language Connections ensured that all attendees could communicate clearly regardless of language throughout the event. Overall, our recent project highlights our ability to work effectively with our clients in order to craft customized and cost-effective conference interpreting solutions for events.
