Our boots on the ground

One of Lingland’s distinguishing qualities is that we have grown and keep close to our local minorities and communities in Hampshire, we are contributing patrons of their activities and engaged in their lives. Lingland is formed by an extensive local network of professionals that have worked with us for a very long time, sometimes into the decades.

As a doctor, a social worker, a policeman/women or a solicitor this can prove an invaluable asset: instead of being handed an anonymous interpreter over a phone while you are struggling to get your message across, we can sit in the same room as you and help you provide the real bridge to establish trust and communication. We can explain to you how your patient or client is understanding your message, and help you read the body language and cultural cues that may go inadverted or get misunderstood. Our training and code of conduct assures you that we will transmit exactly what is said, word for word, without making our own version of what’s mentioned. You can also make a repeat request for the same interpreter to keep building the bond and trust with the client.  

This doesn’t make us more expensive, in fact we have one of the best rates across the market. It makes us personal, because our business model is local, and we take pride in every assignment.  We are flexible, adaptable, and not constrained to work only with over-the-phone-interpreters. We can do both, and deliver the way you need us to for every occasion.
