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