We make your message reach everyone, including the deaf and hearing impaired. At Overseas Translations we offer sign language interpreting services with certified interpreters, adapted to all types of events, formats and sectors..
Whether in person or remotely, our goal is clear: to ensure accessible, fluid and respectful communication for everyone.
With the premise that accessibility is not an option but a responsibility of society as a whole.
At Overseas Translations we understand that interpreting means building real bridges between people. Our sign language interpreting service is born out of our commitment to equal opportunities and universal communication.
Sign language interpreting is not a simple word-for-word transposition. It is a complex linguistic process that requires:
It is therefore essential to use the appropriate sign language in each case and to have interpreters trained specifically for that language combination.
One of the most common misconceptions is that there is a single universal sign language. In practice, this is not the case.

We work both in person and through video interpreting (VRI), adapting to the logistical, technical and urgency needs of each client.
At Overseas, we engage beyond language. Our work seeks to empower those who have historically been excluded from the conversation.
Since 2025, the European Accessibility Act states that public and private services must guarantee real access to information and communication for all people, including those who use sign language as their main language.
At Overseas, accessibility is not an add-on. It is part of our way of understanding the world.
At Overseas, we help companies, institutions and organizations comply with these regulations through complete, effective language solutions that are aligned with the values of inclusion, sustainability and social responsibility.
