Interpretation services in bahrain and saudi arabia
The IWF Congress convened in Manama, Bahrain, assembling representatives from National Member Federations for critical governance proceedings. The Congress was mandated to ratify constitutional amendments and validate the IWF By-Laws, decisions with significant implications for international weightlifting governance and federation operations globally. The Congress required professional simultaneous interpretation for a large international audience speaking diverse languages. Shamil Translation was engaged to provide complete interpretation infrastructure, including professional interpretation services, ISO-certified interpretation booths, and more than 300 wireless headset devices to distribute interpretation to all attendees. The sound system infrastructure was provided separately by Avents Plus to ensure optimal audio delivery and technical reliability.

CHALLENGES

  • Complex Constitutional Terminology and Precision Interpreting constitutional amendments and governance language requires exceptional accuracy. When delegates vote on constitutional changes, interpretation errors could lead to misunderstandings about fundamental federation policies affecting weightlifting globally. Every word matters in constitutional contexts.
  • Simultaneous Interpretation for Large International Congress T1he Congress brought together representatives speaking diverse languages from around the world. Ensuring that all attendees could follow constitutional discussions in real-time, without delays that could disrupt voting procedures, was a significant operational challenge.
  • Managing Multiple Simultaneous Language Channels Broadcasting interpretation in multiple languages simultaneously through headsets required coordinated infrastructure between interpretation booths and audio distribution systems. Each language channel needed to remain separate and clear, with no interference or signal mixing between channels.
  • Interpreter Stamina During Extended Constitutional Proceedings The Congress agenda included constitutional amendment discussions, committee presentations, and voting procedures extending over many hours. Maintaining consistent interpretation quality throughout this duration requires interpreters to sustain high concentration and accuracy.
  • Technical Integration of Interpretation and Audio Systems The interpretation booths, wireless headsets, and audio distribution system all needed to work together seamlessly. Any technical mismatch between components could compromise audio quality or interpretation delivery to delegates.

SERVICES PROVIDED

  • Professional Interpretation Team Shamil Translation deployed experienced professional interpreters specialized in international federation governance and constitutional terminology. The interpreters worked in coordinated rotation to maintain consistent quality throughout all Congress sessions, ensuring that complex constitutional amendments were conveyed accurately across all language channels.
  • Language Pairs for Interpretation Professional interpretation was provided in three major languages to ensure broad accessibility to constitutional discussions and voting procedures:
    • English to Arabic
    • English to Russian
    • English to Spanish
  • ISO-Certified Interpretation Booths Three soundproof ISO-certified interpretation booths provided optimal working conditions for interpreters throughout the Congress. Each booth featured professional-grade audio monitoring equipment allowing interpreters to hear speakers clearly, and ergonomic workstations designed to support sustained concentration during extended constitutional proceedings.
  • Wireless Headset Distribution Shamil Translation provided more than 300 wireless headset devices distributed to all Congress attendees, enabling them to receive interpretation in their selected language throughout the venue. Attendees could move between Congress areas while maintaining access to interpretation audio.
  • Pre-Congress Preparation and Coordination Shamil Translation worked closely with IWF organizers to understand the specific constitutional amendments that would be discussed, complex governance terminology, and agenda items. The team developed specialized interpretation glossaries ensuring terminology consistency across all interpretation channels and prepared interpreters thoroughly before the Congress.
  • Real-Time Quality Monitoring Senior interpretation supervisors monitored all interpretation sessions in real-time, tracking accuracy and providing technical support to interpreters throughout the day. This active oversight ensured consistent interpretation quality during this critical federation governance event.

OUTCOMES ACHIEVED

The IWF Congress proceeded successfully with all constitutional amendments discussed, interpreted, and voted on without language barriers preventing attendee participation. All attendees could understand constitutional discussions in their preferred language through the more than 300 wireless headsets distributed. Professional interpretation infrastructure enabled the Congress to maintain its schedule and complete all constitutional voting procedures as planned. Delegates from diverse linguistic backgrounds could understand complex governance content and make informed voting decisions on federation constitutional changes. The seamless integration of interpretation booths, professional interpreters, and wireless headset distribution ensured zero interpretation interruptions throughout the entire Congress proceedings. Constitutional amendments were communicated clearly to all delegates regardless of their native language. The provision of comprehensive interpretation services demonstrated the IWF’s commitment to inclusive governance, ensuring that all attendees—regardless of official language—could participate equally in this critical decision-making process affecting international weightlifting.
