Danish Sign Language interpreting

Danish Sign Language interpreting for meetings and events

Danish interpreters train at university college level, and two-interpreter teams are standard for long assignments. We provide Danish Sign Language interpreting on site and by video remote interpreting for business meetings and negotiations, hospital and specialist appointments, legal consultations, education and training, and conferences and seminars.

Icelandic Deaf people may understand some Danish signs because of the shared history, but they should be offered Icelandic Sign Language where possible. For Nordic and international events, International Sign may be needed alongside Danish Sign Language, and we can advise on the right mix. Please let us know the length and subject of the assignment so we can plan the team.

Denmark's interpreting system is well developed, and Danish Deaf people travelling or working abroad often expect the same standard. When a Danish employee attends a meeting, a training course or a medical appointment in another country, we can connect a Danish Sign Language interpreter by video, or arrange for one to travel with them for longer assignments such as conferences and study visits.

Danish texts into signed video

We translate written Danish or English, such as company announcements, patient information, course material and accessible web pages, into recorded Danish Sign Language video made with Deaf translators, and we translate signed video into written Danish or English. Danish certificates and records are translated and certified by our Danish team.

Danish public bodies and companies increasingly add signed summaries to annual reports, consultations and customer information. We script these with you in plain Danish, film them with Deaf presenters and deliver files ready for your website, intranet or social media channels.

Captioning

We caption corporate films, webinars and conference recordings in Danish or English and produce written transcripts of meetings that include signing, checking each file by hand.

Sectors we support in Danish Sign Language

Our vetted, trained and qualified Danish Sign Language interpreters can support businesses, healthcare providers, legal practitioners, educational institutions and conference organisers. SILA Linguists® organises each booking through one coordinator, works with vetted interpreters, and protects every assignment with confidentiality agreements and UK GDPR. Danish companies working with British or international partners can combine sign language interpreting with spoken-language interpreting and translation through the same team.
