Availability depends on the language pair, dialect, subject matter, event date and format. Can’t see what you need? Ask us.

A more considered experience
Language access is part of event planning.
American Sign Language and caption-related support are part of the conversation. Consider the audience, the room or platform, sightlines, screen placement and how participants will access the content.
Describe your needs early so the appropriate people, workflow and technical requirements can be discussed.

Good questions. Clear answers.
A few things you might be wondering.
Every event is different. Let’s talk through the details that matter to yours.
Is every listed language always available?
The selection is a starting point for your enquiry. Availability is confirmed for each assignment. Share your exact language pair, dialect, subject matter, date and format so your request can be considered.
Can you support a language that is not in this selection?
Please ask. This page provides representative examples rather than the whole language network. IAS can discuss the request and confirm whether the appropriate support is available.
What information helps with an ASL or caption enquiry?
Tell IAS about the audience, event date, venue or platform, session lengths, presentation format and specific access requirements. This allows the support and technical setup to be scoped for the event.
