"Ashanti" is the older English spelling of Asante, the people and kingdom whose capital is Kumasi. When a client asks for an Ashanti interpreter, they almost always mean an interpreter in Asante Twi, and that is who we send. It is the form of Akan a Ghanaian from almost anywhere in the south is likely to follow, so an Ashanti interpreter is a sound choice when you are not sure exactly where in Ghana somebody is from.

Want an Ashanti interpreter in St Albans? Phone us on 0800 2425 125 or send the booking to quotes@uklinguisticservices.co.uk; if the person comes from Kumasi or elsewhere in the Ashanti Region, put that in the message.

Local Ashanti Interpreters Around St Albans

The census does not count Ashanti on its own: Asante speakers are included under Akan, alongside Fante and Akuapem speakers. What it does show is that the language is concentrated in London and a few towns around it. Our Asante Twi interpreters are spread the same way, so for St Albans we'll offer whoever can reach you and, if nobody can, a remote interpreter.

Ashanti to English Interpreter in St Albans

Asante society gives a lot of weight to titles. Chiefs and queen mothers are addressed as Nana, and a chief is known by a stool name, sometimes with a number after it, like a monarch. On a UK form that stool name can look like a second identity. An interpreter who knows the custom can explain it before anyone starts to suspect a false name.

Ashanti Interpreter for Business Meetings in St Albans

The Ashanti Region produces cocoa, timber and gold, and some UK firms deal with suppliers and landowners there. Senior Asante businesspeople often speak excellent English, but negotiations with elders or a family that owns land are frequently held in Asante Twi, with greetings and courtesies to the elders before any figures are discussed.

Ashanti Medical Interpreter in St Albans

At a hospital bedside, the Ashanti interpreter often has several relatives to deal with as well as the patient, because decisions about an older person's care are usually shared across the family. It helps the clinician to know who the family regards as the one who speaks for them.

Ashanti Interpreters Near You in St Albans

St Albans has two courts of its own, both criminal. St Albans Crown Court is on Bricket Road, and St Albans Magistrates' Court sits in the Civic Centre on St Peter's Street, which also lists domestic violence among its work. Anything civil or family is a trip out: the nearest county and family court is the Watford County Court and Family Court on King Street, about 7 miles south, and the same town has the Watford Tribunal Hearing Centre at Radius House on Clarendon Road for employment and social security appeals. Hatfield Magistrates' Court on Comet Way, about 4 miles east, is the other criminal court close by, so check which of the three a notice names before the interpreter is sent.

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust runs St Albans City Hospital, a community site in the city, as well as Hemel Hempstead General Hospital about 6 miles west and Watford General Hospital, its general acute hospital, about 8 miles south. Barnet General Hospital, run by Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, is about 9 miles south-east. Because one trust spreads its clinics over three towns, the name of the site on the letter is what we book against.

St Albans City and District Council and Hertfordshire County Council share the local services, and Hertfordshire Constabulary polices the area. ONS puts the St Albans local authority at around 148,200 residents at the 2021 Census, up 5.3% from about 140,700 in 2011. The district is in Hertfordshire, in the East of England, and we cover Hatfield about 5 miles east, Hemel Hempstead, Watford, Potters Bar about 7 miles south-east and Luton about 9 miles north. Our booking line is open 24/7 for interpreters in person, on the phone or on video.
