Would one of your interpreters be able to make a phone call to
arrange an appointment for me to make a home visit to a
family?
Yes, this can be arranged. You would need to give clear
details ie: the person’s name, phone number, address and
date/time of the intended appointment. The interpreter will
call you back directly to let you know the outcome of the
conversation.
I am about to email you a document for translation. How
quickly can this be done?
This would depend on the language
required:
- Bosnian/Serbo-Croat and Romanian are usually the same day
- French, Urdu, Somali, Swahili usually take one to
two days
More unusual languages can take two weeks. The length of
these would also depend on the length of the document.
