Mossi Interpreting Services in Slough

UK Linguistic Services finds professional Mossi (Mooré) interpreters in and around Slough for NHS appointments, asylum and immigration work, solicitors and councils, on site or by video and telephone.

Burkina Faso's emigrants have mostly gone to Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana and France, so Mossi speakers in Britain are few and far between. The first thing to settle is whether the person really needs Mooré. Anyone who went through secondary school in Burkina Faso will have been taught in French, and many will be comfortable with a French interpreter. Farmers, older women and people who left school early are the ones who most need Mooré, and they are also the ones most likely to be misunderstood without it.

Local Mossi Interpreters Around Slough

We may not have a Mooré speaker within travelling distance of Slough, and often nobody in the region at all. A video interpreter joining from elsewhere in the UK, or from abroad when that suits the client, is the usual solution. When a French interpreter is used as a fallback, record in the notes that the client agreed to it.

Mossi to English Interpreter in Slough

Mooré is a tonal language, and a word said on a high or a low pitch can mean different things, so a speaker who learned it as a child picks up nuances that someone who learned it later can miss. Greetings also take time. A Mossi elder may expect a longer exchange of courtesies before the business starts, and an interpreter who cuts that short can lose the client's trust in the first minute.

Mossi Medical Interpreter in Slough

Malaria is part of daily life in Burkina Faso, and many speakers say "palu", from the French for malaria, about almost any fever. A doctor in Slough should hear that as a description, not a diagnosis. The same goes for returning travellers who visited family: the interpreter makes sure the dates of the trip and any tablets taken are clear.

Mossi Interpreter for Immigration Appointments in Slough

Since 2015 armed groups have driven large numbers of people from their homes inside Burkina Faso, and some claims for protection turn on where a person lived and how they left. Place names matter here. A Mossi interpreter will know village, department and province names in their local form as well as in French spelling, and can say so when an account names a place in two different ways.

Mossi Interpreter in Slough: Questions

Is Mossi the same as Mooré for a booking in Slough?

Yes. The Mossi are the people and Mooré is their language. Either name on the booking reaches the same interpreters.

My client from Burkina Faso speaks Dioula. Should I book a Mossi interpreter in Slough?

Not unless Mooré is their first language. Dioula is a separate language, and we can look for that instead.

Will a Mossi interpreter know French legal terms too?

Usually. Most educated Mooré speakers work in French as well, which helps when a document or a term comes from Burkina Faso's French-language courts.
