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