Our Afar linguists
As well as being qualified and tested linguists all our Afar 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.
Afar translation
For Afar translations, Geo works with qualified, expert translators.
All our Afar 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 Afar translator who is based
in the target country might not have the necessary understanding or
terminology to translate a document for the Afar 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 Afar translators
in the UK to use the correct, established terminology. See our translation
section for more information on Afar translation or have a look
at our industries
section. If you need help with back translation from Afar, then
we also have a great database of validated, high quality translators
to meet your needs.
Afar interpreting
Geo has an extensive database of great people for Afar interpreting.
Our Afar 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 Afar interpreting or have a look
at our industries
section.
Afar 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.
Afar is no different, but you can rest assured that we can help you.
See our typesetting
section for more information on Afar typesetting or have a look
at our industries
section.
Afar media services
Geo can even offer Afar voice-overs, Afar dubbing, Afar audio and
video recording s and Afar subtitling. See our media
services section for more information or have a look at our industries
section.
