With an extensive pool of professional linguists, we are placed in a unique position within the translation and interpreting sector to be able to offer excellent service at very competitive rates.

We provide translation services for any type of text, including legal, commercial, financial, medical, technical, industrial or even literary. Our translation services can be provided from or into almost any language. We also translate the contents of websites – either personal or commercial – into any language required. 

We provide consecutive interpreting services for almost any purpose: courts, barristers, solicitors, police stations, business meetings, medical consultations, embassies, etc. We can also provide interpreters for business delegations, accompanying delegates to any point in the UK or abroad.

At Giraffe, we benefit from the services and co-operation of more than 350 freelance translators and interpreters who together cover upwards of 98 languages. The rates for our services are very competitive and can be provided upon request. You can fill in one of our online forms if you require a quote for translation or interpreting. Alternatively, you can contact us directly with your enquiry. 

Our translators and interpreters are all highly experienced, competent and skilled individuals. Most are university graduates and the majority are members of professional bodies such as the Chartered Institute of Linguists (IoL) and the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (ITI). Some are also on the National Register of Public Service Interpreters (NRPSI) or the Home Office Panel of Interpreters, or are registered with the Metropolitan Police Service Recruitment. 

In addition to translation and interpreting, we also provide the following special services: 

Transcription: We can transcribe the contents of audio tapes, video tapes or CDs/DVDS  and provide the customer with the relevant transcription. If required, we can then translate the transcribed text into the desired language.

Authentication of documents: As well as the provision of a certified translation we can also provide an affidavit sworn by a translator before a solicitor, a notarised translation or an apostille (obtained from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office).

Voiceovers: Our interpreters can provide voiceovers at studios for film, television or radio.

Simultaneous interpreting: For some languages we can provide simultaneous interpreting services (subject to availability)
