Latin Interpreting Services in City of London

Nobody needs a Latin interpreter at a GP surgery, so what we offer under this heading is honest and specific: professional Latin interpreters and translators in and around City of London, or working remotely, who read old documents, explain them aloud and translate them into English.

The people who ask us for Latin are family historians with a baptism entry they cannot read, solicitors holding a bundle of old deeds, parish and diocesan offices, schools and colleges with a foundation charter or a memorial, and couples marrying in a Catholic church whose older baptism certificate was written out in Latin. Now and then it is a university diploma. In each case the job is to say, reliably, what the document says.

Local Latin Interpreters Around City of London

There is no community of Latin speakers to draw on, only a small number of classicists, archivists and palaeographers who read it professionally, and they are unlikely to live near City of London. That rarely matters, because the work travels well: a clear scan or photograph is all a Latin specialist needs, and a meeting to go through the results can be held by video.

Latin to English Interpreter in City of London

Old Latin records are harder than school Latin. Clerks abbreviated nearly every other word, wrote in hands that changed from century to century, and Latinised English names, so William becomes Gulielmus, James becomes Jacobus and Joan becomes Johanna. Dates may be given by saints' days or by the year of the monarch's reign, and before 1752 the English year began on 25 March, so a January entry can look a year out.

Latin Court and Legal Interpreter in City of London

English courts kept their records in Latin until 1733, and older title deeds, manorial rolls and wills can carry Latin clauses even after that. When unregistered land changes hands, or a boundary or right of way is disputed, a solicitor may need those passages read and translated. For a meeting, the specialist can sight-translate the relevant clauses aloud and then provide a written translation for the file.

Latin Telephone and Video Interpreting in City of London

A video call works well for Latin: the document is shared on screen, the specialist reads it through with you line by line, and you decide which parts are worth a full written translation. That can save the cost of translating a long register when only three entries matter.

Within the Square Mile itself, the City of London Magistrates' Court is at 1 Queen Victoria Street, while money claims and housing possession cases are heard at the Mayor's and City of London Court in Guildhall Buildings, Basinghall Street. The Central Criminal Court stands on Old Bailey, the London Tribunals Centre at 7 Newgate Street deals with employment and benefits appeals, and immigration appeals are listed at the Field House Tribunal Hearing Centre in Breams Buildings. Policing differs from the rest of the capital too: the City has its own force, the City of London Police, whereas most of Greater London is covered by the Metropolitan Police, so a statement or charge sheet may come from either.

St Bartholomew's Hospital, known as Barts, has stood at West Smithfield since 1123 and is run by Barts Health NHS Trust, which also runs The Royal London about 1.5 miles east. Guy's Hospital, across the river in SE1, belongs to Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, and Moorfields Eye Hospital, a specialist site with a trust of its own, is also close by. The practical point for anyone booking here is that the Square Mile is London's main business district: around 330,000 people come in to work each day, far more than live there, so most interpreting in the City is for someone attending a hearing, an appointment or a workplace meeting rather than a resident.

At the 2021 Census the City of London, a local authority in its own right, had about 8,600 residents (ONS). Islington lies about 2 miles north, Westminster about 2 miles south-west and Kensington about 4 miles west. We take bookings 24/7, and interpreters can attend face to face or join by telephone or by video.

Latin Interpreter in City of London: Questions

Can someone read an old Latin parish register for me in City of London?

Yes. Send a photograph or scan of the page, with the entry marked if you know which one, and we will quote before any work starts.

Do I need a Latin interpreter in City of London or a translator?

Almost always a translator. Book a live session only if you want the document explained to you or to a client in a meeting.

Can you translate English into Latin for a motto or inscription?

Yes. Tell us where the words will appear and the tone you want, because a school motto and a gravestone call for different Latin.
