Edo Interpreting Services in Tranent

We provide professional Edo (Bini) interpreters in and around Tranent for police stations, solicitors, social workers, hospitals and family meetings, attending in person or joining by telephone or video.

Most Edo speakers living in Britain also speak English, and Nigerian Pidgin, which is the everyday street language of Benin City. So requests for an Edo interpreter tend to come when a matter is personal or legal: a grandmother staying for a few months, a young woman giving evidence about how she was brought to Europe, an older relative at a child protection meeting who speaks freely only in Bini.

Local Edo Interpreters Around Tranent

There are not many trained Edo interpreters in the UK, and the ones there are tend to be booked well ahead. For an appointment in Tranent we will look for someone who can attend, but a video link often gets you a qualified Edo interpreter days sooner, and costs nothing in travel. Give us as much notice as you can for interviews under caution or anything that will run for a full day.

Edo to English Interpreter in Tranent

Check what the person means when they say they speak "Edo". The word names the Bini language, but it is also the name of a Nigerian state in which Esan, Etsako, Owan and several other languages are spoken, so a form marked "language: Edo" can describe someone who needs a different interpreter altogether. One question before the booking, "which town is your family from?", avoids a wasted appointment.

Edo Police Interpreter in Tranent

Benin City has for years been a starting point for Nigerian women trafficked into Europe, and some were made to swear an oath at a shrine before they left. Fear of that oath can keep a victim quiet long after she is out of danger. An Edo interpreter understands what is being described without it being spelt out, and must have no link to the family or anyone named in the account. Officers and support workers are sometimes glad to learn that the Oba of Benin has publicly revoked oaths of this kind.

Edo Telephone and Video Interpreting in Tranent

Some clients would rather their interpreter came from another part of the country, so that nobody in their own circle hears their business. A remote Edo interpreter makes that easy to arrange, and it widens the choice for a language where each interpreter counts.

Edo Interpreters Near You in Tranent

For a Tranent client, the first question is usually where the appointment is, because the town itself has neither a sheriff court nor an acute hospital. The nearest court is Edinburgh Sheriff Court and Justice of the Peace Court, about 9 miles west. Across the Forth, Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court and Justice of the Peace Court is about 14 miles away as the crow flies, though far longer by road, and Livingston's court is about 22 miles west. A citation will state which court to attend; send us that, and we can match an interpreter who can reach the building in good time.

NHS Lothian runs the hospitals people from Tranent are sent to. East Lothian Community Hospital is the nearest, about 6 miles east towards Haddington, with Herdmanflat Hospital close to it. Midlothian Community Hospital is about 7 miles south-west. For many specialist and inpatient appointments the letter will say the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France, about 7 miles west. Those sites are in three different directions from the town, so an interpreter heading to the wrong one loses an hour; the site name on the letter is what we need.

The A1 runs past Tranent with junctions at the north and west ends of the town, which makes it quick for interpreters coming out from Edinburgh or along the coast. The same service covers Musselburgh, about 4 miles west, Dalkeith and Bonnyrigg to the south-west, and Haddington and East Linton to the east. East Lothian Council, schools, GP practices and Police Scotland all use interpreters, and we take bookings 24/7, face to face, by telephone or by video.

Edo Interpreter in Tranent: Questions

Is an Edo interpreter in Tranent the same as a Benin interpreter?

It is if the person comes from Benin City or speaks Bini. Someone from the Republic of Benin is more likely to need French, Fon or Yoruba.

Can an Edo interpreter in Tranent cover Esan or Etsako?

The languages are related, which may carry a simple conversation, but it is not good enough for a legal or medical appointment. We search for the speaker's own language first.

Can the Edo interpreter be someone from outside our local community?

Certainly. Ask for a remote interpreter when you book and we will find one based elsewhere in the UK.
