Peers to Probe Court Interpreting Services

At Translate Hive, we deeply appreciate the attention being brought to the critical issue of court interpreting services, as highlighted in the Law Society Gazette.  We fully understand the vital role that accurate and reliable interpreting plays in the justice system, ensuring that all parties, regardless of their language proficiency, have access to fair and just legal proceedings.

At Translate Hive, we are committed to providing the highest standards of interpreting services, particularly in the sensitive and demanding environment of the courts. We recognise the challenges faced by the judiciary, including the need for interpreters who not only have linguistic expertise but also a deep understanding of legal terminology and courtroom procedures.

To address these needs, we ensure that our interpreters undergo rigorous training and continuous professional development.  We ensure they are fully qualified and registered with the National Register of Public Service Interpreters (NRPSI).  Our team includes specialists with extensive experience in legal interpreting, who are well-versed in the nuances of legal language and the importance of maintaining impartiality and confidentiality.

Furthermore, we understand that the quality of interpreting services is paramount in safeguarding the integrity of the judicial process. As such, we employ a stringent vetting process to ensure that only the most qualified interpreters are assigned to court cases. We also leverage advanced technology to support the efficient management of interpreting assignments, ensuring timely and effective communication between all parties involved.

We are keenly aware of the concerns raised regarding the current state of court interpreting services, particularly the issues related to quality and consistency.  At Translate Hive, we are dedicated to working closely with the courts, legal professionals, and other stakeholders to continuously improve our services and address any gaps that may exist. Our goal is to contribute to a justice system where language barriers are seamlessly overcome, allowing for clear and accurate communication, and ultimately, fair outcomes for all.

We are open to collaboration and dialogue with our legal clients and other interested parties to ensure that our services meet the highest standards of excellence.  By doing so, we aim to reinforce the trust that the courts and the public place in the judicial process, ensuring that every individual, regardless of their language, is afforded the respect and understanding they deserve in legal proceedings.

Translate Hive is committed to being a partner in delivering justice through exceptional interpreting services. We stand ready to support the courts in overcoming the challenges highlighted and ensuring that language does not become a barrier to justice.
