[ANTS] List of Languages in the Interpreters Database

The list that follows is the complete List of Languages for which ANTS provides Simultaneous Interpretation, taken from my Interpreters Database.

ANTS Database counts with more than 1.100 Interpreters located all over the world, working both in remote and in-person, which I collected during the events I participated since 2009.

The list accounts for (more than) 80 languages from all over the world 🙂

ANTS booths are the Plexicabins: Wooden-Plexiglass foldable table-top cabins, environmentally friendly and easily transportable

We usually move around with a small van, as we take in great seriousness our ecological footprint. The commercial company in the Interpretation world moves around with big truck full of very expensive equipment, at no reach for small organizations and collectives of the social movement area.

When it comes to the sound proofing of the booths, of course they don’t offer the same characteristics as the full-on soundproofed booths normally used in the Interpretation world, for which you need to move a truck in order to transport them – increasing incredibly not only the ecological footprint, but also the overall costs.

We consider enough to use those Plexicabins – as we call them – more environmentally friendly in comparison to the sound-proofed booths. Of course there’s need to organize the room in a way that the voice of the interpreters doesn’t reach too much the ears of the close-by participants – which are using headphones to receive the Interpretation in the language they choose, by the way.

The Booths1 that we use – the Plexicabins – were designed more than a decade ago by a pioneer collective project that I co-founded in 2009. Their designs are open-source and they were copied and adapted by dozens of other collectives and organizations all over the world.

ANTS new domain and contact emails

ANTS Team is very proud to announce that after little more than 6 months of official activity, due to the ever growing requests of Simultaneous Interpretation Services from different Social Movements events all over the globe and online, we have finally bought our own web domain:

https://www.ants-interpretation.org/

The current website will be moved very soon at the new direction, while the new contact emails are already active:

info@ants-interpretation.org : this is the general contact email to get in touch with the ANTS Team to request info about our services, technology, way of working, pricing and so on and to request our services for an upcoming event.

interpreters@ants-interpretation.org : this is the coordination email that we use to organize the interpreters for an event. It is also used by hundreds of Interpreters to contact us for different purposes: updating their database entries, asking for technology to cover for Interpretation in events they work in, ecc.

See you in the next Conference 😉 !
