Lunda Interpreting Services in London

UK Linguistic Services sources professional Lunda interpreters in and around London for medical appointments, solicitors, courts, Home Office interviews and council services, in person or over telephone and video links.

The few Lunda interpreting requests we see in Britain come from three directions. Zambians from Mwinilunga and the surrounding districts mostly speak English too, so the need is usually an elderly parent or a formal statement. Angolans and Congolese from Lunda areas often arrive with Portuguese or French as their second language and little English, and they are the clients most likely to need Lunda at a Home Office interview.

Hoping to book a Lunda interpreter in London? Our line is 0800 2425 125 and our inbox quotes@uklinguisticservices.co.uk; please say which country the speaker comes from, since that changes who we look for.

Local Lunda Interpreters Around London

A Lunda interpreter living close to London would be a lucky find. We search nationally, and for most appointments we connect the interpreter by video, which keeps travel costs out of the quote. An in-person booking is possible when the job justifies the journey, such as a trial or a long assessment, but it needs notice measured in days rather than hours.

Lunda to English Interpreter in London

The word Lunda names a people and an old empire as well as a language, and that causes wrong bookings. Many people of Lunda descent in Zambia's Luapula Province, the kingdom of Mwata Kazembe, speak Bemba day to day. The Angolan provinces of Lunda Norte and Lunda Sul are home to many Chokwe speakers. So when a form says "Lunda", ask the person what they actually speak at home before we book anyone.

Lunda Interpreter for Immigration Appointments in London

For an Angolan or Congolese applicant, the interview will touch on places such as Saurimo, Dundo or the diamond fields of the Lunda provinces, and on documents written in Portuguese or French. We look for a Lunda interpreter who has lived in or near the same country, so place names, local officials and dates are recognised and rendered accurately rather than spelled out letter by letter.

Lunda Court and Legal Interpreter in London

If a court list simply says "Lunda", the interpreter can arrive to find a Bemba or Chokwe speaker waiting, and the hearing is adjourned. Ask the solicitor to confirm the language with the client in writing before the date, and to tell the court whether the client would accept Portuguese or French as a fallback.

A great deal of the country's senior court work happens at a single address on the Strand. The Royal Courts of Justice, WC2A 2LL, houses the Court of Appeal in both its civil and criminal divisions, the King's Bench Division, the Family Division and the Administrative Court. Central London County Court sits in the Thomas More Building on the same site and deals with housing possession and money claims, and its bankruptcy list runs from Room 1.05 on the first floor. With so many courts sharing one postcode, give us the name of the court and the case number when you book, not just "the Royal Courts", so the interpreter goes straight to the right list.

Several NHS trusts work within a couple of miles of Westminster. Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust runs St Thomas' Hospital, University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust runs University College Hospital, and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children has its own trust. UCLH spreads its outpatient work over more than one building, including the Grafton Way Building and a site on Westmoreland Street, so the building named on the appointment letter matters as much as the hospital. The nearest mental health site is the Gordon Hospital, run by Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust.

For our purposes London means the centre, in the City of Westminster, and the same service reaches the City of London, Kensington and Islington, and south of the river Brixton and Wandsworth. Visitors fly in through six airports: Heathrow in the borough of Hillingdon, London City in Newham, Gatwick in West Sussex, Stansted and Southend in Essex, and Luton in Bedfordshire. Tell us which one when you book an interpreter to meet someone on arrival, because Heathrow and Stansted are a long way apart. We take bookings around the clock, for interpreters working face to face, by telephone or by video.
