Malagasy Interpreting Services in Stratford-upon-Avon

UK Linguistic Services finds professional Malagasy interpreters in and around Stratford-upon-Avon for people from Madagascar at hospitals and GP practices, solicitors, police stations and council offices, in person or by telephone and video.

Educated people from Antananarivo and the larger towns often speak French well, and some have good English. The Malagasy interpreter is needed for everyone else: a student's parent on a visit, a spouse from a rural district in the south, or anyone who is ill, frightened or grieving and wants to speak the language they grew up in rather than the one they learned at school.

Local Malagasy Interpreters Around Stratford-upon-Avon

The Malagasy community in Britain is small, far smaller than in France, and interpreters are hard to find at short notice. For a booking in Stratford-upon-Avon we will look for someone who can attend in person, but be ready to accept a video or telephone interpreter, particularly for a first appointment. Early notice makes an in-person match more likely.

Malagasy to English Interpreter in Stratford-upon-Avon

Malagasy puts the verb first and the subject last, so a sentence that begins "saw the doctor yesterday" only tells you who did the seeing at the very end. An interpreter cannot start the English until the Malagasy sentence is complete, which is why consecutive interpreting, with short pauses, works far better than trying to interpret over the speaker. Give the interpreter room to finish.

Malagasy Medical Interpreter in Stratford-upon-Avon

Spelling a patient's name from hearing it is risky. In Malagasy an o is said like the English oo, a final y sounds like a short i, and final vowels are often barely spoken, so a name such as Rakotomalala can be written down several wrong ways at reception. Ask the Malagasy interpreter to spell the name from the patient's passport or card before it goes on the record, and check the date of birth the same way.

Malagasy Telephone and Video Interpreting in Stratford-upon-Avon

Madagascar is two hours ahead of UK summer time and three ahead in winter, so an interpreter working from there can cover a morning clinic in Stratford-upon-Avon during their own working afternoon. For a longer call, send the interpreter the names of the people involved and any medicine or place names in advance; it saves time spelling them out on the line.

Malagasy Interpreters Near You in Stratford-upon-Avon

A small spelling point first, because the two are easy to mix up: the town is Stratford-upon-Avon, but the district council is Stratford-on-Avon. The district reached 134,725 residents at the 2021 Census and takes in far more than the town itself, so a booking address "in Stratford district" can be a village some distance from the station.

Stratford Hospital, in the town, is a community hospital run by South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust. For acute care the nearest options are Warwick Hospital, run by the same trust about nine miles north-east, and the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch, around eleven miles north-west, which belongs to Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust. Those are two different trusts in two different counties, and it pays to know which one sent the letter. Courts are similar. There is none in Stratford; the closest are Leamington Spa Magistrates' Court and Warwick Combined Court, which share the Warwickshire Justice Centre on Newbold Terrace, Leamington, ten miles north-east, with Redditch Magistrates' Court on Grove Street about thirteen miles the other way. Birmingham Civil and Family Justice Centre at Priory Courts, Bull Street, lies some 22 miles north.

Trains from Stratford run twice an hour to Birmingham Snow Hill on weekdays and Saturdays, and a second station, Stratford-upon-Avon Parkway, opened beside the A46 north of the town in 2013. Direct trains to London Marylebone no longer run as a regular service, so an interpreter travelling from London should plan a change. We take bookings 24/7 for Stratford, Evesham, Warwick, Leamington and Solihull, in person, by telephone or by video.

Malagasy Interpreter in Stratford-upon-Avon: Questions

Why does my Malagasy client have a different surname from their children?

In Madagascar parents choose each child's names freely, and a child does not automatically take a parent's family name. Brothers and sisters can have different surnames, so don't treat it as a sign that something is wrong.

Will a Malagasy interpreter in Stratford-upon-Avon understand a speaker from southern Madagascar?

Usually, but not always. The standard is based on the speech of the central highlands, and southern varieties such as Antandroy are harder going. Tell us the client's home region.

Could a French interpreter in Stratford-upon-Avon cover a Malagasy appointment instead?

Only if the client chooses French. Many people schooled in towns are comfortable in it; many from the countryside are not.
