Interpretation Services in Ghent

Ghent pairs a historic Flemish city with one of Belgium's strongest research and industrial economies. Ghent University is a major research institution whose faculties, symposia, and international collaborations draw scholars and partners from across the world, and its research output feeds directly into the city's life-sciences base. Around the university sits a biotech and life-sciences cluster anchored by VIB, where scientific meetings, clinical discussions, and investor briefings frequently cross language lines. Ghent University Hospital (UZ Gent) adds a steady stream of medical interpreting needs alongside the academic work.

That research-heavy profile is complemented by real industrial and commercial demand. North Sea Port, which links Ghent to the coast and to the wider maritime network, generates logistics negotiations, inspections, and supplier meetings, and the Gerechtsgebouw Gent handles civil, criminal, and commercial proceedings in Dutch and French. Ghent is a Dutch-speaking city, so Dutch is the anchor language, most often paired with French, English, and German across academic, legal, medical, and trade settings.

BeTranslated supports university conferences, biotech and clinical meetings, court hearings, and port and business negotiations across Ghent in whatever format the setting demands. We provide simultaneous interpreting in ISO-compliant booths for symposia and large events, consecutive interpreting for hearings, clinical discussions, and boardroom negotiations, and whispered and liaison interpreting for site visits and smaller delegations.

For hybrid and online programs we run remote simultaneous, video remote, and telephone interpreting on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Webex, and we arrange booths, headsets, and on-site technicians where a venue lacks built-in cabins. Our interpreter network covers Dutch, French, English, and German for local proceedings, alongside further scientific and community pairs on request, plus sworn interpreters recognized by the Belgian Ministry of Justice for Ghent court hearings and notarial acts.
