TRANSLAB INTERNATIONAL provides simultaneous interpretation for the UN Women conference in Dakar

TRANSLAB INTERNATIONAL had the honor of providing simultaneous interpretation services at the UN Women (United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women) international conference held in Dakar from May 15 to 17, 2023. This major event brought together more than 200 participants from 25 different countries to discuss sustainable development and international cooperation issues in West Africa.

A linguistic challenge met with excellence

Our team of six professional interpreters provided simultaneous interpretation in three languages: French, English, and Portuguese. The diversity of topics covered during this conference - ranging from environmental policies to economic development strategies and governance issues - required rigorous preparation and sharp technical expertise from our interpreters.

The quality of interpretation provided by TRANSLAB INTERNATIONAL was exceptional. Thanks to their professionalism, language barriers were completely removed, allowing for fluid and constructive exchanges between all participants.

This testimonial from Ms. Marie Diop, coordinator of the UN Women conference, reflects our constant commitment to providing the highest quality interpretation services, tailored to the specific requirements of each event.

State-of-the-art technical installation

For this event, we deployed three ISO 2603 compliant interpretation booths, equipped with latest generation digital consoles. Our technical team handled the installation and supervision of the entire audio system, ensuring optimal sound quality for all participants.

Meticulous preparation for exceptional results

The success of this interpretation mission is the result of meticulous preparation. Several weeks before the event, our team worked closely with the organizers to:

• Study in depth the topics addressed during the conference
• Become familiar with the terminology specific to the different fields covered
• Analyze the profiles of the speakers and their presentation styles
• Prepare multilingual glossaries to ensure terminological consistency
• Conduct technical tests to ensure all equipment functions properly

A significant impact on the success of the event

Thanks to the quality of our interpretation, participants were able to fully engage in discussions, regardless of their native language. The debates were rich and productive, resulting in the adoption of several important resolutions for sustainable development in West Africa.

The organizers particularly appreciated our ability to faithfully render not only the content of the interventions but also their tone and intention, thus preserving all the nuances of the exchanges.

Conclusion

This successful collaboration with the UN Women conference perfectly illustrates TRANSLAB INTERNATIONAL's mission: to facilitate communication and mutual understanding in an international context by providing high-level linguistic and technical expertise.

We are proud to have contributed to the success of this important event and remain committed to providing excellent interpretation services for all types of international conferences and meetings in Senegal and West Africa.
