Nzebi interpreting services
Nzebi is spoken across the border between Gabon and the Republic of the Congo, and people from the two sides grew up with different second languages. On the Gabonese side that is almost always French. Speakers from the Congo side may also use Kituba or Lingala, the country's two national languages, alongside French. Knowing this helps us choose between a Nzebi interpreter, a French one, or someone who covers both.
Because so few Nzebi interpreters work in Europe, we suggest a short introductory call before any long appointment, so the speaker and interpreter can confirm they understand each other. Consecutive interpreting, in short turns, gives both of them room to check a word when a local term comes up.
Face-to-face interpreting
The interpreter comes to you: a hospital ward, a courtroom, a council office, a home visit or a business meeting. It is the best choice when people need to read expressions as well as words, or when the conversation is long or sensitive.
Telephone interpreting
The quickest option to set up. It works well for short calls, triage, appointment reminders and quick checks with a client.
Video interpreting
A Nzebi interpreter joins by video for remote hearings, consultations and meetings, which helps when there is no interpreter near you.
We also provide medical interpreting and conference interpreting.
Certified Nzebi translation
Almost every official document from Gabon or the Congo, from a birth certificate to a school leaving certificate or a court ruling, is written in French. So the translation people actually need is usually French to English, and we handle that as a certified translation for UK use. Where a birth was never registered on time, a family may hold a jugement supplétif, a court judgment issued in place of the missing birth record, and it needs translating as carefully as the certificate it replaces.
French-style records print the surname first and in capitals, which is easily misread on a British form. Our translators each work into their native language, and we keep names exactly as the passport shows them.
- Certified translation of birth, marriage and death certificates, passports, driving licences, degree certificates and bank statements, for the Home Office, courts, universities and employers.
- Legal translation: witness statements, court bundles, contracts and immigration papers.
- Document translation of medical reports, letters, leaflets and patient information.
- Urgent translation when a deadline is close.
- Transcription of Nzebi audio and video recordings, with an English translation if you need one.
English to Nzebi translation
Nzebi has a Latin-alphabet spelling, but most speakers learned to read and write in French, not in Nzebi. For written material aimed at a Gabonese or Congolese reader in the UK, French is often the better target language, with Nzebi used for a short personal message or for an audio recording that someone can listen to. Tell us who the reader is and we will give you an honest view.
Nzebi court and police interpreters
A Nzebi speaker in a UK court or tribunal is most likely to be an asylum appellant or a witness in a family case. Our search starts with Nzebi speakers who have interpreted in legal settings before, and with anyone holding the Diploma in Public Service Interpreting (Law) or a place on the National Register of Public Service Interpreters (NRPSI), if such a person exists for Nzebi. In practice such interpreters are very scarce for this language, so a legally qualified French interpreter is sometimes the only option, and the court should be told if the party's French is limited. Early notice gives us the best chance of finding Nzebi.

Nzebi interpreter and translator FAQs
How quickly can I book a Nzebi interpreter?
We take bookings 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Telephone and video interpreting are usually the quickest to arrange. For a face-to-face appointment, give us as much notice as you can: same-day cover is often possible, but it depends on where you are and how many Nzebi interpreters work nearby.
How much does a Nzebi interpreter cost?
The price depends on the type of interpreting (face-to-face, telephone or video), how long the appointment lasts, where it is and how much notice you give. We quote before anything is booked, and quotes are free: call 0800 2425 125 or use our online quote form.
Can you certify Nzebi translations for a UK visa or immigration application?
Yes. We translate and certify documents such as birth and marriage certificates, passports and police certificates for visa, settlement and citizenship applications. UK Visas and Immigration asks for each translation to confirm that it is accurate and to show the date and the translator's full name, signature and contact details, so tell us when you order that the document is for an immigration application.
Do you provide Nzebi interpreters for courts, tribunals and police interviews?
Yes. Tell us the setting when you book, for example a Crown Court trial, an immigration tribunal hearing or a police interview under caution, so we can match a Nzebi interpreter with the right legal experience and qualifications.
