Our Acholi linguists
As well as being qualified and tested linguists all our Acholi translators
and interpreters sign up to our code of conduct which governs expected
quality levels and ensures confidentiality. In addition, our database
keeps track of all their specialist areas so we can find exactly the
right person for your assignment.
Acholi
translation
For Acholi translations, Geo works with qualified, expert translators.
All our Acholi translators are professionals translating into their
mother tongue. Normally they will live in the country where the target
language is spoken so that they remain up to speed with the language
and culture. The only time this doesn’t work is if the translator
is required to have knowledge about a linguistic community outside
the target culture... for instance if our Acholi translator who is
based in the target country might not have the necessary understanding
or terminology to translate a document for the Acholi community in
the UK dealing with UK bodies and concepts..e.g. the Financial Ombudsman
or the NHS. In these instances Geo works with qualified Acholi translators
in the UK to use the correct, established terminology. See our translation
section for more information on Acholi translation or have a look
at our industries
section. If you need help with back translation from Acholi, then
we also have a great database of validated, high quality translators
to meet your needs.
Acholi
interpreting
Geo has an extensive database of great people for Acholi interpreting.
Our Acholi interpreters are selected for their expertise, knowledge
of specialist areas, friendly professional attitude and consistently
good feedback. See our interpreting
section for more information on Acholi interpreting or have a
look at our industries
section.
Acholi typesetting
Typesetting in different languages can be tricky if you don’t
know what you’re doing. Hyphenation rules change. Fonts sometimes
aren’t supported in some design packages. Some languages read
left to right (like English), others (like Arabic) read right to left.
Acholi is no different, but you can rest assured that we can help
you. See our typesetting
section for more information on Acholi typesetting or have a look
at our industries
section.
Acholi
media services
Geo can even offer Acholi voice-overs, Acholi dubbing, Acholi audio
and video recording s and Acholi subtitling. See our media
services section for more information or have a look at our industries
section.
