Farsi Interpreting Services in Bognor Regis

We supply professional Farsi interpreters in and around Bognor Regis for Iranian patients, clients and witnesses, at GP surgeries and hospitals, solicitors' offices, asylum interviews, councils and courts, in person, by phone or on video.

Most people who ask for a Farsi interpreter are Iranian. Iranians have been coming to Britain in numbers since the 1979 revolution, as students, exiles and refugees, and people seeking asylum from Iran still arrive today. Iran's constitution makes Persian the language of schooling and official business, so anyone educated there reads and writes it, yet millions of Iranians grew up speaking Azerbaijani Turkish, Kurdish, Luri, Gilaki, Mazandarani, Balochi or Arabic at home.

Local Farsi Interpreters Around Bognor Regis

The largest concentration of Persian speakers in England and Wales is in north London: at the 2021 census Barnet had 8,442 people with Persian or Farsi as their main language, about twice as many as the next council area, Birmingham. Elsewhere a Farsi interpreter may have some way to travel to reach Bognor Regis, so we set the journey against a telephone or video booking and tell you which will serve the appointment better.

Farsi to English Interpreter in Bognor Regis

Iranian courtesy has a name, ta'arof, and it can change what "no" means. By custom an offer is refused the first time as a matter of politeness, so a patient may turn down a glass of water, a follow-up appointment or a second explanation while privately wanting all three. The interpreter renders the words faithfully and can point out the custom; the professional's part is to ask again, plainly, and make clear that the offer is meant.

Farsi Medical Interpreter in Bognor Regis

In Iranian speech the heart carries worry as well as a pulse. The anthropologist Byron Good, writing about the Iranian town of Maragheh in the 1970s, described narahatiye qalb, "heart distress", a complaint that joins palpitations with sadness, family strain and anxiety. A patient who says their heart is uneasy may be describing a symptom, a mood or both, so the interpreter translates the words closely and leaves the clinician to ask which.

Farsi Interpreter for Immigration Appointments in Bognor Regis

In an asylum interview or a statement for a solicitor, the questions can turn to religion or politics, and the interpreter needs both vocabularies in both languages, including the church terms that come up in claims based on conversion to Christianity, a subject on which the Home Office publishes country guidance for Iran. Family names need explaining too: an Iranian wife keeps her own surname for life and the children take their father's, so one family's papers can show two surnames without anything being amiss.

No criminal court sits in Bognor Regis. The nearest is Chichester Nightingale Crown Court at Southgate, about 6 miles north-west, and the nearest magistrates' court is Worthing Magistrates' Court on Christchurch Road, about 13 miles east, in the same Law Courts building as Worthing County Court and Family Court, which lists divorce, children and housing possession cases. The closest venue for employment and social security tribunals is Havant Justice Centre on Elmleigh Road, about 15 miles west, so read the summons or hearing notice for the town before assuming where a case will be.

Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, run by Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust, first opened in 1919. The nearest general acute hospital is St Richard's Hospital in Chichester, about 6 miles north-west, part of University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust, and Worthing Hospital, run by the same trust, is about 14 miles east. A letter naming St Richard's rather than the War Memorial means a different town and a different address, so check it before the interpreter is sent.

Farsi Interpreter in Bognor Regis: Questions

Is Farsi the same language as Persian?

Yes. The two names cover one language, and in Britain "Farsi" nearly always means the Persian of Iran. Iran's Academy of Persian Language and Literature declared in 2005 that other languages should call it Persian, which is why both names turn up on forms.

Can a Farsi interpreter in Bognor Regis work with an Afghan client?

For something short and simple, often. For anything longer, book Dari. Even the first question sounds different: an Iranian asks esm-e shoma chiye for "what's your name?", an Afghan nam-e shoma chist.

Should I book Farsi in Bognor Regis for a Kurdish or Azerbaijani speaker from Iran?

Ask them. Most read and speak Farsi, the language of their schooling, but for a medical history or a witness statement some will say more, and say it more precisely, in their first language, and we can arrange Kurdish or Azerbaijani instead.
