FAQ – Questions About Sign Language Interpreting

For many culturally Deaf individuals, sign language is their native first language (L1), whereas written text is a second language. Following complex or rapid presentations through sign language is far more natural, expressive, and less fatiguing than reading captions for hours. Combining sign language with live speech-to-text ensures maximum accessibility for both Deaf signers and hard-of-hearing non-signers.

Sign languages are distinct national languages. ÖGS (Austrian Sign Language) is used in Austria, while DGS is used in Germany. International Sign (IS) is a conventionalized contact sign variety used at international conferences and global summits to facilitate understanding among participants from different linguistic backgrounds.

Because certified sign language interpreters are in high demand across Austria and Europe, we recommend reaching out 3 to 6 weeks in advance of your event date. For short-notice urgent requests, contact us directly and we will make every effort to assemble an available team.

Like spoken simultaneous interpreting, sign interpreting requires intense cognitive processing and physical stamina. Interpreters alternate every 15 to 20 minutes to maintain flawless accuracy, clarity of signing, and physical endurance throughout full-day events.
