Our accessibility services aim to simplify the linguistic content on your digital platforms or convert it so that more people can understand your message. In response to the 2016 European directive requiring government websites to be accessible, we have fine-tuned our services to answer to the need of inclusive user experiences. Our trained and experienced team will support you in this process. Linguistic accessibility can take various forms. Our language services all comply with the WCAG criteria at the linguistic level.
ACCESSIBLE COPYWRITING
Take a different approach to copywriting. Accessible copywriting is all about creating adapted and inclusive content. Our team converts your message into creative texts that are accessible to a diverse audience, by focusing on clarity and simplicity with professionalism. Whether they will appear on your website, your blog or any other online platform, your texts will transcend all linguistic barriers. Opt for this unique approach and expand your audience while improving the user experience of your platforms.
ACCESSIBLE TRANSLATION AND REVISION
Give your content a new dimension in any language with creative and accessible translations. Our translation team goes beyond translation to different languages, ensuring cultural adaptation, clarity and a better understanding of your message. In languages where inclusivity poses a real challenge, we avoid any constructions that might hinder the readability, such as inter-points, brackets by restructuring the phrases.
Is your content already written and translated? Let us proofread your texts for accessibility. Our linguists proofread your content closely, adapt and localise your texts, and make suggestions on how you can make your content even more accessible and improve the user experience.
EASY-TO-READ
Converting content to easy read goes beyond regular accessibility and is specifically focused on audiences with reading and comprehension difficulties. When converting a text into easy read, our linguists analyse each sentence closely and transfer the essence of your message. They do not focus solely on the linguistic elements of your message, but also restructure the texts and optimise the instructions, colour contrasts and illustrations in your documents. In practice, visitors of your website will be able to switch to the easy read version with a single-click by the means of a dedicated link, offering a more accessible and inclusive experience.

TARGET GROUP SURVEYS
We offer target group surveys as a complementary service to our language services. If your content targets a specific audience, we test it with a representative sample of that group. In doing so, we can identify any obstacles that might hinder the understanding of your content and neutralise it with the most appropriate linguistic solutions. If you would like us to conduct a target group survey, simply let us know and we will include it in our offer.
SUBTITLING
Untranslate also specialises in intralingual and interlingual subtitling. In intralingual subtitling, spoken language is transferred into writing in the same language. In other words, when English is spoken in the video, the subtitles are in English as well. Through this type of subtitling, your content will be more accessible for the hearing impaired and hard-of-hearing individuals, but also for those who cannot turn on the sound of the video.
We also offer accessible subtitles. To do this, we calculate and respect a certain number of characters per subtitle to enable people with reading difficulties to grasp the core message of your video.
SIGN LANGUAGE VIDEOS
We offer an innovative sign language subtitling service designed to make audiovisual content on your digital platforms more accessible, by integrating a video of the sign language interpreter on your platform or within the video itself. This service is an all-inclusive solution for broadcasting educational content, films, advertising and conferences in real time or delayed.
More specifically, we incorporate a video of the sign language interpreter signing the audio content in real time in a corner of the screen, making it accessile and easy to follow for the hearing impaired and hard-of-hearing individuals.
To ensure that the videos are seamlessly integrated into your website, we offer the option of working on a briefing and feedback system. This service is possible with a wide range of video formats and can be integrated across multiple platforms, such as websites and mobile applications.
SIMULTANEOUS SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETING
In addition to our sign language video service, designed to make your digital content accessible, we also offer simultaneous interpretation service. The interpretation can be done on-site or online. Discourses are translated in real time to allow the hearing impaired and hard-of-hearing individuals to follow.
This form of interpreting is widely used in contexts where direct communication between the hearing impaired or hard-of-hearing and the hearing-abled individuals is essential, as well as at events such as conferences, lectures and similar gatherings.
Our experienced interpreters are happy to advise and guide you on this type of interpreting. Are you wondering how you can incorporate interpretation into your event? Get in touch with us! Who better than native sign language speakers to advise you on the best options to consider?
