sign language interpreters
Manual communication bridges
Sign language interpreters are professionals who facilitate communication between deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals and hearing people by translating spoken language into sign language and vice versa.
They work in settings ranging from medical appointments and courtrooms to classrooms and live events.
Skilled interpreters must master not just vocabulary but the grammar, idioms, and cultural nuances of both languages.
The conference provided sign language interpreters for all keynote speeches.
