Plus d'informationsColingua is a translation and conference interpretation agency based in Brussels, Liège (Wallonia) and Lanaken (Flanders). Our conference interpreters are active in Belgium, France, Luxembourg and all over Europe.
Our translators work for Belgian clients with a global outlook and international clients visiting Belgium or the European institutions. Our translation agency is special because it is run entirely by industry professionals. You will always be in touch with a translator or an interpreter.
Colingua proposes two types of services: written translations (websites, leaflets, contracts, in various sectors like festivals, sports … ) and simultaneous interpreting services (sometimes called simultaneous translation), with or without interpreting booths.
Since 2020, we have been proposing several online interpreting solutions, on Zoom or other platforms. We also have a hub (or studios) in Brussels with interpretation booths, green screens and the necessary technical support to host our clients in compliance with the strictest sanitary regulations.

“Our female ready-to-wear clothing firm, PIMKIE, has called upon Colingua Translations for our international conventions and meetings for several years now. We appreciate their professionalism and ability to adapt, as well as the relations we have forged in the course of our various interactions.
The interpreters of Colingua Translations are a key asset to our international events, where top-notch services are essential.”
Summary of services provided to Pimkie:
“The Prehistomuseum, formerly named the “Préhistosite de Ramioul”, opened its doors in February 2016 after 3 years of refurbishment. Our 30-hectare museum, devoted to Prehistoric times, boasts no less then 12 exhibitions that we have decided to display in four languages (French, Dutch, German and English). In the months prior to the opening, Colingua was a valuable ally in overcoming the mountain of work that required completion! The quality of their follow-up and anticipation helped us respect the deadlines and offer our visitors translations that are always very accurate, covering a wide range of different subjects. Our collaboration continues today – but at a gentler pace, fortunately! – and in all likelihood it will last for many years more.”

Interpretation booth or Infoport system (widely known as "bidule" in Brussels or "tour guide system")? Each job requires its own specific interpretation equipment. We will help you make the rights choices if necessary. Our team can set up a technical solution with booths for interpreters, microphones and loudspeakers, or a simple portable kit if you need to visit a factory or working site, or if you are holding a business meeting with just a few people. Colingua also proposes online interpreting solutions with Zoom or other remote interpretation systems.
View allTwo IT and sound control rooms, a green screen, an interpretation hub with 10 booths, a reception room for the keynote speakers and online moderators, we have all you need to organize your virtual event with remote simultaneous interpreting.
Some online meetings only last for two or three hours. In order to reduce the technical costs, our interpreters can provide remote online simultaneous translation from our offices or from home, without a booth. Our interpreters have all the necessary equipment for this specific way of working.
A mobile interpretation kit (also called tour guide) contains 20 headphone receivers.
This wireless system enables our interpreters to translate for groups of experts visiting factories, worksites, etc.
It can also be used for simultaneous interpretation during work or business meetings with a small number of people.
We use Bosch interpreter’s desks and microphone stations. This equipment guarantees high audio quality and comfort for your guests or participants.
This digital equipment is the system of choice for leading international events, including those with conference interpretation. It is also compatible with several online systems used for virtual events requiring remote simultaneous interpretation.
The interpretation booths would not work without AV technicians. They usually sit behind their mixing tables and manage sound quality in real time during your event.
Now that many online events require simultaneous translation, our IT specialists work in the virtual backstage to check data flows and sound quality in the various languages.
We use Audipack portable interpreter booths. Our technicians can set up these modular translation booths in many different places.
These booths respect ISO standards and are sound-proof, thus helping our conference interpreters to provide an outstanding service.
From interpreting your speeches to setting up the equipment for your meetings, conferences and seminars, we take care of everything.
