The Greek language
An
interesting fact about Greek:
Katharevousa (or formal Greek) was the official
written language in Greece up to 1976 when it
was replaced by modern Greek. |

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