Global Lingo provides Live Interpretation for Royal Launch Event in Rotterdam with The Productioneers

The Challenge

A challenge soon emerged: seamless, simultaneous communication across languages. With a mixed-language audience—Dutch and English—the event required real-time interpretation that didn’t just meet expectations but exceeded them. It was a high-pressure scenario that demanded speed, expertise, and perfection—with zero room for error. To make matters more complex, the timeline was tight.

The Solution

Global Lingo’s Live Events team rose to the occasion, responding with the speed, structure, and precision that high-stakes events demand. Within days, our Resourcing and Quality Assurance teams identified and deployed two simultaneous interpreters. Both interpreters brought deep subject-matter knowledge and experience in interpreting for high-level, public-facing events.

The setup included:

• Professionally vetted interpreters fluent in English and Dutch
• Pre-event coordination with the event production team
• On-site interpretation booths, fully integrated with AV teams

Global Lingo worked closely with The Productioneers to ensure alignment on timing, location logistics, and technical requirements—ensuring every detail was covered ahead of the live broadcast and guest arrivals. Through this collaboration and careful preparation, Global Lingo ensured the event’s multilingual needs were met with precision, enabling a seamless and impactful experience for both the speakers and the audience.

The Outcome

The event proceeded without a single communication complication, showcasing the effectiveness of Global Lingo’s careful planning and expert execution. Interpretation was delivered seamlessly throughout the ceremony, ensuring that every speech, conversation, and interaction was understood by all attendees—regardless of language barriers. From the opening to closing, including speeches and interactions involving Her Majesty Queen Máxima, international dignitaries, and representatives from the Sea Ranger Service, the interpreters ensured that each word was conveyed accurately and professionally. Overall, this level of service was critical in enhancing a successful dialogue between diverse global representatives, further highlighting the international significance of the event.

The feedback from the event organizers and attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the seamless coordination between the event’s technical teams and the interpreters. The organizers specifically highlighted how the interpretation helped maintain the flow and pace of the ceremony, ensuring no delays or confusion during key moments. Attendees informed us on the high quality of the interpretation, noting that it contributed significantly to the event’s professional atmosphere.
