Brazilian Portuguese, Haitian Creole and the Andes
Our coverage for the region includes Brazilian Portuguese and Haitian Creole, spoken in Haiti and by communities in Montreal, New York, Miami and Paris. In the Andes we work in Quechua, including Bolivian and Peruvian Quechua, and in Aymara, including the Chilean and Peruvian varieties. Guaraní and Guaraní Ñandeva from Paraguay, Náhuatl from Mexico and Wayuu, spoken on both sides of the Colombia and Venezuela border, complete the list.
Many speakers of Indigenous languages know some Spanish but only express themselves fully in their mother tongue, which is exactly when a Spanish interpreter is not enough. SILA Linguists® confirms the exact variety before assigning a linguist.
Precise interpreting, on site or remotely
For an immigration hearing, a hospital appointment or a child protection meeting, our interpreters attend in person or join by phone, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. For Quechua or Aymara, video through our app or your platform often makes it possible to reach an interpreter who lives far from your offices. For conferences, trade shows and negotiations in Brazil we provide consecutive, simultaneous and RSI interpreting, community interpreting and escort interpreting for travelling delegations. You can ask for a female or male interpreter.
Certified translation, localisation and transcription
Our translators handle civil records, degrees, criminal record certificates and employment documents, respecting compound first names and double surnames. Certified translations come with a signed statement of accuracy accepted by courts, the Home Office, universities and employers in the UK. The Brazilian market often justifies full localisation of websites, software and video into Brazilian Portuguese.
We also provide time-stamped transcription and translation of recordings, and subtitling of audiovisual content.
