The Task
The Deafblind Foundation developed the training program "Child-Guided Strategies" together with the Perkins International Academy for professionals working with deafblind children. The content was to be conveyed both through 24 tutorial videos and accompanying training webinars – each in English and German. So that all participants could understand the technically demanding content equally well, the interpreting had to be consistently precise, while the appropriate recording technology for the videos also had to be provided.
Our Solution
For the 24 tutorial videos, we used simultaneous interpreting with recording and also provided the necessary recording technology. We interpreted the accompanying training webinars live and simultaneously directly in Zoom. This meant the Deafblind Foundation and the Perkins International Academy reliably had all training content available in both languages.
What made this project special
Specialist terminology for working with deafblind children
The tutorials and webinars are aimed at professionals who work with deafblind children. Terms from education and communication support had to be precise in both English and German. Our interpreters therefore familiarised themselves thoroughly with the subject in advance.
Recorded interpreting for 24 videos
For the tutorials, we interpreted simultaneously and recorded the interpretation using recording equipment we provided. This means professionals can watch the videos in their language at any time.
Live in Zoom
We interpreted the accompanying webinars, with around 25 participants, live in Zoom. Participants chose their language directly in the meeting.
