Introduction
As part of our ongoing commitment to high-level multilingual event support, Language Solutions was recently selected to provide simultaneous interpretation and technical setup for an official Interpol meeting held at the Marriott Hotel in Tirana. The event brought together participants from various countries, with Arabic and English as the working languages, underscoring the importance of linguistic accuracy in the coordination of international security efforts.
From Client Inquiry to Needs Assessment
The collaboration began when the event organizers reached out to Language Solutions to discuss the language requirements for the upcoming Interpol meeting. A preliminary brief outlined the event’s scope, agenda, and participant profile, including the need for Arabic–English interpretation and a complete interpreting equipment setup.
Our team of specialised experts conducted a needs assessment call to clarify several key points: the number of sessions requiring interpretation, room layout at the Marriott Hotel, equipment preferences, and any special security considerations due to the nature of the meeting. Based on this assessment, we prepared a tailored proposal that included both linguistic support and technical delivery services.
Interpreter Selection and Preparation
For this assignment, our team carefully selected a group of professional simultaneous interpreters with demonstrated experience in law enforcement, international security cooperation, and high-level diplomacy. Given the sensitive nature of the content, it was essential to choose interpreters not only fluent in Arabic and English but also highly familiar with Interpol terminology and confidentiality protocols.
In preparation for the event, we worked closely with the organizers to collect reference materials, including the event agenda, background notes, and presentation slides. These documents were shared with the interpreting team in advance, allowing them to prepare glossaries and clarify terminology as needed. A pre-event technical briefing was also held to ensure alignment across the team.
Technical Setup at the Marriott Hotel
Language Solutions provided a full simultaneous interpreting setup at the Marriott Hotel in Tirana, including:
- Soundproof interpreter’s booths

- Technician support for on-site troubleshooting

Our technical team arrived early on the day of the event to conduct a full installation and test run. They worked closely with hotel staff and the event organizers to ensure optimal placement of booths and smooth integration with the venue’s audiovisual system. Live technical monitoring was maintained throughout the event to address any potential issues in real time.
Seamless Delivery and Post-Event Feedback
During the event, Language Solutions ensured uninterrupted Arabic–English interpretation, enabling clear communication among speakers and participants. Interpreter handovers were coordinated discreetly and efficiently, with continuous oversight from our coordination team to ensure smooth delivery across all sessions.
Following the event, we received positive feedback from the organizing team, who praised both the quality of interpretation and the professionalism of the setup. The client specifically highlighted the clarity of communication and the interpreters’ ability to convey technical and diplomatic language with accuracy and neutrality.
