The Basque language
An
interesting fact about Basque:
Basque is thought to be a language isolate, a
survivor of the languages spoken in south-western
Europe before the region was Romanized.

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