Edo Interpreting Services in Weymouth

We provide professional Edo (Bini) interpreters in and around Weymouth 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 Weymouth

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 Weymouth 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 Weymouth

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 Weymouth

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 Weymouth

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.

Weymouth Combined Court sits at the Law Courts on Westwey Road, and the finder lists a wide spread of work there: criminal cases, children's cases, housing possession, money claims, social security appeals and High Court district registry business. Outside the town the next court buildings are some distance off. Poole Magistrates' Court, on Park Road, is about 23 miles east, and Yeovil County, Family and Magistrates' Court, on Petters Way, is about 24 miles north. Dorset Council runs local services and Dorset Police covers the area.

Hospital letters need a careful read here. Westhaven Hospital, a community hospital run by Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trust, is only about a mile north-west of the centre, but the nearest general acute hospital is Dorset County Hospital in Dorchester, some seven miles north, run by Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. Poole Hospital, run by University Hospitals Dorset, is a different trust again and about 23 miles east, so an interpreter who assumes "the hospital" means the one up the road can end up in the wrong town. We take bookings 24/7 and interpreters work face to face, by telephone or by video, which helps when a clinic moves a patient between sites at short notice.

Trains terminate at Weymouth on two routes, one from London Waterloo and one up through Westbury and Bristol, so visitors arriving for a hearing usually come in by rail. The cross-Channel ferries that once sailed from the harbour have gone, the last leaving in 2015, and that traffic now runs through larger ports such as Poole. Nearby, the same service reaches Dorchester about 8 miles north, Sherborne and Yeovil about 24 miles north, Wimborne Minster to the north-east, and Poole and Bournemouth further along the coast to the east.

Edo Interpreter in Weymouth: Questions

Is an Edo interpreter in Weymouth 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 Weymouth 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.
