Translation and Interpreting Services in South Africa

Wits Language School offers full translation and interpreting services in 20 international and local languages. We work with a network of highly qualified translators and interpreters to cater for all your professional language needs.

We cover general, financial, legal (sworn) and technical translation, as well as software and website translation, and can assist you with providing interpreters for multilingual seminars and conferences (simultaneous and consecutive interpreting). We also cater specifically for editing and proofreading in English (business, academic and technical writing). All of our translators, interpreters and editors have extensive experience and are subject to rigorous quality control procedures. Most have postgraduate qualifications in translation and/or interpreting or language editing. We make sure that the right person is sourced for the job – from a financial or legal translator to a business writer!

Quality translation and interpreting services are offered in the following languages:

• European: French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian
• South African: All 11 official languages of South Africa plus South African Sign Language (SASL).
• Asian and Eastern Languages: Mandarin Chinese and Arabic
• An array of other languages, including Igbo, Hausa, Bengali, Chichewa, Yoruba and many more.

Be wary of free translation services. If you want a professional translation then you need an experienced translator skilled in the language to proofread the translation and make sure that it is translated accurately, that the correct grammar has been used and that wording appropriate to that language has been selected.

If you want a professional interpretation then you need an experienced interpreter skilled in the language to ensure that your multilingual business meeting or conference go smoothly. You wouldn’t want to lose that deal because your language facilitator doesn’t know the correct terminology and doesn’t know how to negotiate or facilitate communication in another language!

Wits Language School provides accurate and professional language services at affordable rates.
