01 / LANGUAGE SERVICES
A closer reading. A clearer understanding.
Language support for professional and legal work, with careful attention to meaning, dialect and context.
Language deserves close attention.
My work brings together interpreting, translation and transcription to help police, legal professionals and multi-agency staff understand the language in front of them.
I work across Urdu, Punjabi (Pakistani), Mirpuri and Pahari/Pothwari, recognising the importance of regional usage and the circumstances in which words are spoken or written.
