Slovenian interpreting and translation

Slovenian interpreters, not a near neighbour

We book a Slovenian interpreter rather than one for a related South Slavic language, especially for legal and medical work, because Croatian or Serbian speakers do not reliably follow Slovenian detail. Slovenian uses formal vi and familiar ti, and the dual also affects how two people are addressed together, something our interpreters handle without thinking twice. With seven main dialect groups, some hard even for other Slovenians, it helps to tell us where your client grew up.

Video and telephone are practical formats for a language with a small diaspora: a Slovenian interpreter can join by phone day or night, or on video through our SILA Linguists® app or Teams and similar tools. Face-to-face interpreters are arranged for hearings and complex medical appointments, and for pharmaceutical, manufacturing and logistics companies we provide consecutive or simultaneous interpreting for audits, plant visits and negotiations.

Slovenian translation and certification

Translations must handle the dual correctly, a frequent source of error in machine output and in text written by non-native speakers, and keep č, š and ž in names and addresses. For pharmaceutical and manufacturing clients we translate regulatory files, product information, technical manuals and quality documentation; for tourism, websites, booking platforms and brochures. AI-assisted drafts are always post-edited by a Slovenian linguist.

Court judgments, civil status records, degree certificates and company papers are certified in English with our signed and dated statement of accuracy, accepted by UK authorities such as tribunals, the Home Office and universities, and by employers. Slovenian records for the United States, Canada or Australia are certified to their rules, through NAATI-certified translators in Australia. In Slovenia itself, official translations are certified by court interpreters appointed by the Ministry of Justice, so check what a Slovenian authority asks for.

Slovenian transcription and subtitling

Interviews, research recordings and corporate video in Slovenian are transcribed with timings and an English text alongside, with dialect passages handled by native speakers, and we subtitle films and training material.
