I assume that the dimensions of the modules are given in "m", "cm" seems to be a typo. So, ten modules, each 0,75 m long, make a table 7,5 m long. Roughly the same lenght of the screen, as we see in the photo. I understand that what the consultant calls a "head table" it's the speakers' table, the only one shown in the photo. The pulpit is next to the table, everything fits.

Phil, a literal translation does not make any sense here, I totally agree with you. Head table does not refer exclusively to weddings. It is also used for plenary sessions. There are plenty of reliable sources on Google to support this translation, such as https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/guidance_note_insi... I'll check with the client anyway to be on the safe side.

If it were a table, and we assume that they mean metres not centimetres, it would be still be very small. And I'm not clear what a "head table" is. It makes me think of the bride and groom's table at a wedding.
I feel that all three answers are basically the same, and don't answer the question. A literal translation is the easy way out, but I'd query it with the customer.
Marcos Roland Jan 24, 2023:
"they are talking about the head table" makes sense to me. Seeing the photo, it seems that the head table is composed by ten modules. And in this sense the dimensions seem O.K.
PaulaEsp (asker) Jan 24, 2023:
Tell me about it! The dimensions are definitely wrong. I suspect they are talking about the head table. I've just found a pic of the place they are describing: https://www.tce.sp.gov.br/6524-servidores-tcesp-participam-c...
Ana Vozone Jan 24, 2023:
@Phil That is exactly what I thought...
philgoddard Jan 24, 2023:
Confusing "Plenary module" suggests an event, but the dimensions are those of a very small object.

module for the plenary session

Assuming (given the dimensions of the piece...) that there will be a plenary session taking place at the Grande Auditório. as well as a pulpit for the speaker.

As dimensões corretas devem ser: 7,5 m (comprimento) x 0,65 m (largura) x 0,75 m (altura) - é a mesa onde ficam as principais autoridades

Plenum Module

I am not very confident, as the text is extremely confusing, but based on the small dimensions, it could actually be referring to an actual object. This assumption is based on the idea that somehow the object name was originally translated from Spanish or English to Portuguese, in a way that "plenum" became "plenário", as plenum may also have the mean of "plenary". One of the examples I found, does mention a dimension range that could possibly include those of the Plenum module.

sorry, I meant to say that it may also have the meaning of "plenary".

Module for plenary (table)

Based on the above discussion, I think that the original text deals with the equipments (furniture) that will be used in a plenary event, and the portuguese "módulo plenário" stands for "módulo para mesa de plenário" or simply "módulo para plenário". The photo shows a plenary table made up of modules.
