Kurdish Interpreting Services in St Austell

UK Linguistic Services provides professional Kurdish interpreters in and around St Austell, in Sorani, Kurmanji and Behdini, for solicitors, Home Office interviews, police stations, hospitals, GP surgeries and council offices, in person or by telephone and video.

Kurds began arriving in Britain in large numbers in the 1980s, many of them as refugees, and they came from four countries: Iraq, Turkey, Iran and Syria, with Iraqi Kurds the largest group. There is no Kurdish nationality, so a Kurd's GP record, tenancy agreement or Home Office file says Iraqi, Turkish, Iranian or Syrian. A booking made from that line alone can put an Arabic, Turkish or Farsi interpreter in front of someone who wanted to speak Kurdish. Asking the person which language they want takes a moment and saves a wasted appointment.

Local Kurdish Interpreters Around St Austell

In the 2021 Census, Kurdish was the main language of 66,443 people in England and Wales. The largest numbers were in Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester, but Kurdish families live in towns and cities right across Britain. We'll look for someone in the right dialect who can come to you in St Austell. Behdini and the Southern Kurdish dialects have far fewer interpreters than Sorani or Kurmanji, and for those, an interpreter joining by video from another part of the country is often the way to get the right dialect rather than a near miss.

Kurdish to English Interpreter in St Austell

Place names catch people out. Kurds often use the Kurdish name for a place: Hawler for Erbil, Slemani for Sulaymaniyah, Amed for Diyarbakir. So an interview record, a witness statement and a passport can end up naming one town in two different ways, which looks like an inconsistency to anyone who doesn't know. A good Kurdish interpreter gives both forms the first time a place comes up, and the English record then shows they are the same town.

Kurdish Police Interpreter in St Austell

In custody there is pressure to get an interpreter on the line fast, and a detainee may not know the English name for their dialect. Ask where they grew up rather than which Kurdish they speak. A short telephone call with a Kurdish interpreter at booking-in can settle the dialect and explain the detainee's rights, and it means the interpreter who comes for the interview can actually follow them.

Kurdish Telephone and Video Interpreting in St Austell

With Kurdish, the right dialect on a video link is worth more than the wrong dialect in the room. That applies most to Southern Kurdish, spoken around Kermanshah, Ilam and Lorestan in Iran and in the Khanaqin district of Iraq, whose interpreters are hard to find in the UK. Telephone suits a short call to a GP surgery or a housing officer. For a longer appointment, or one where the person is upset, video lets the interpreter see who is speaking and when to wait.

Kurdish Interpreter in St Austell: Questions

Which Kurdish interpreter should I book in St Austell?

If nobody knows the dialect, go by the home town. Sulaymaniyah, Erbil, Sanandaj or Mahabad usually means Sorani; Duhok, Zakho or Amedi means Behdini; most of Turkey and Syria means Kurmanji; Kermanshah or Ilam points to Southern Kurdish.

Can a Kurdish interpreter in St Austell cover Zazaki or Gorani?

Not as a rule. Zazaki, from around Tunceli and Bingöl in eastern Turkey, and Gorani, which includes Hawrami, are spoken by people who see themselves as Kurds, but linguists class them as separate languages, and a Kurmanji or Sorani interpreter won't follow them reliably. Tell us, and we'll look for a speaker or ask the client which other language they're comfortable in.

Will a Kurdish interpreter also know Arabic, Turkish or Persian?

Usually one of them, depending on the country the interpreter grew up in, and that helps with documents and the names of offices. But book the language the client wants to speak, not the one printed on their passport.
