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