People ask for a Serbo-Croatian interpreter for two different reasons. Some are booking on someone else's behalf and simply don't know which of the four standards the person speaks. Others grew up in Yugoslavia, learned srpskohrvatski at school, and still think of it as one language, or call it naš jezik, "our language", to avoid choosing a side. Both are fine starting points for a booking.

Local Serbian Croatian Interpreters Around Edinburgh

The 2021 census found just over 18,000 speakers of this language group in England and Wales, clustered most heavily in a handful of London boroughs. Interpreters follow the same pattern. For appointments well outside London we often suggest a video interpreter, which can reach Edinburgh the same day, and keep in-person bookings for longer or more sensitive meetings.

Serbian Croatian to English Interpreter in Edinburgh

The biggest audible split is the old vowel called yat. Most people in Serbia say it as e, so a child is dete; in Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro it becomes ije or je, so a child is dijete. Where the person was born tells us which to expect, and we then pick an interpreter whose speech will sound natural to them, not just one who is understood.

Serbian Croatian Medical Interpreter in Edinburgh

Older Yugoslav-born patients are the likeliest to need help in a clinic. Some are not native speakers at all: Kosovo Albanians, Macedonians and Slovenians of that generation often learned Serbo-Croatian at school or in national service, and can follow it, but will describe pain and fear better in their first language. Ask before you book.

Serbian Croatian Court and Legal Interpreter in Edinburgh

International courts dealing with the former Yugoslavia listed the language as BCS, for Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian. UK courts usually record a single named language, so a solicitor should confirm which one the client wants before the first hearing, and put the same name on every form.

Serbian Croatian Telephone and Video Interpreting in Edinburgh

Telephone interpreting suits a short practical call. With several participants, or where papers need to be looked at together, video keeps everyone on the same page.

Serbian Croatian Interpreters Near You in Edinburgh

Edinburgh, Scotland's capital, is its own council area, and the City of Edinburgh had 514,543 residents at Scotland's Census 2022. Edinburgh Sheriff Court and Justice of the Peace Court share the Sheriff Court House at 27 Chambers Street, in the Sheriffdom of Lothian and Borders, and the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service puts the population it serves at about 450,000. Outside the city, the nearest sheriff courts are Kirkcaldy, about 11 miles north across the Forth, Dunfermline, 13 miles north-west, and Livingston, 14 miles west, which is worth knowing when a client lives in Fife or West Lothian but works in the capital.

NHS Lothian runs the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France in the south-east of the city, where it moved in 2003 from Lauriston Place, its home since 1879; the move is now more than two decades old, but an older address on a letter can still catch people out. The Western General Hospital, about 2 miles west of the centre, is another NHS Lothian hospital, and the Astley Ainslie Hospital lies about 2 miles south, so the hospital name on an appointment letter matters more than the word Edinburgh.

The city has four universities, among them the University of Edinburgh, founded in 1582, and Edinburgh Napier University, with major campuses around Merchiston and Morningside, and their students and staff turn up at the same clinics, offices and hearings as everyone else. Bookings are taken 24/7, and an interpreter working face to face, by telephone or by video can usually be arranged within seconds, whether the appointment is at the Sheriff Court, the Royal Infirmary or a council office. Musselburgh, Dalkeith and Bonnyrigg, all within about 6 miles, are covered in the same way.

Serbian Croatian Interpreter in Edinburgh: Questions

I don't know whether the person speaks Serbian or Croatian. Can I still book in Edinburgh?

Yes. Tell us where they were born or grew up, and we will choose an interpreter to suit. If you have no idea, we can ask the person at the start of the call.

Can the same Serbian Croatian interpreter in Edinburgh attend every appointment?

Ask when you book. For a run of hearings or treatment sessions we try to keep one interpreter, so the client isn't retelling their story to someone new each time.

Can someone help at short notice?

We take bookings 24/7. Same-day cover is easiest by phone or video.
