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