Ibo Interpreting Services in Oakham

UK Linguistic Services supplies professional Ibo interpreters in and around Oakham for immigration advisers, police stations, councils, schools and housing officers, face to face or remotely by telephone and video.

Ibo is the older English spelling of Igbo, the language of south-eastern Nigeria. It is one language, and we book the same interpreters whichever name you use. The spelling came from English speakers who could not manage the gb sound, where the lips and the back of the tongue close at the same moment, and flattened it to a plain b. An Ibo interpreter is usually needed for someone whose English will not stretch to an official conversation: an elderly parent, a spouse who has just arrived, a relative giving a statement.

Local Ibo Interpreters Around Oakham

Speakers, under either spelling, are concentrated in Greenwich and other east and south-east London boroughs and in Manchester, and interpreters mostly live near them. Elsewhere, an Ibo interpreter coming to Oakham may be travelling some distance, and for a short appointment a video link is often better value than paying for the journey.

Ibo to English Interpreter in Oakham

Older speakers often make a point through a proverb, and a word-for-word rendering can leave a police officer or a social worker none the wiser. A good Ibo interpreter gives the proverb and then, clearly flagged, what the speaker means by it, so the listener loses nothing and the interpreter adds nothing of their own.

Ibo Interpreter for Immigration Appointments in Oakham

Some protection claims from south-eastern Nigeria concern support for Biafran separatist groups. The account will be full of local place names, group names and dates, and an interpreter from the region follows them without stopping to ask for spellings. Solicitors preparing a statement should say at booking that the case involves this, so the interpreter is ready for the vocabulary.

Ibo Interpreter for Schools and Councils in Oakham

When a grandparent becomes the main carer for children here, a school or council suddenly has to deal with someone who ran the household in Ibo. There is one small trap. Ibo has a single pronoun for he and she, so a grandparent speaking English may switch between them when talking about one grandchild, and without an interpreter that can end up in a report as two different children.
