Sign language interpretation

Sign language interpretation is the interpretation of direct communication between two or more parties, where at least one party speaks Icelandic sign language.

People who use Icelandic sign language for communication in their daily lives have the right to sign language interpretation in their communication with public bodies and companies.

The main goal of the Communication Center's Interpreter Service is to promote greater access, and thereby participation, of sign language speaking individuals to services as widely as possible in the Icelandic society.

The Sign language interpreters at the Centre for Communication interpret between Icelandic Sign Language and Icelandic.
