Some of your clients may need to use an interpreter or have correspondence and documents translated into their native language.

Our Register of Interpreters and Translators provides information about suppliers who have contacted us and agreed to do translating and/or interpreting work.

Please note: inclusion on the register does not imply endorsement by us.
We ask those registering for our Register to confirm if they hold a DPSI qualification but we are not responsible for checking their professional qualifications. If you want guidance on credentials for interpreting/translating please contact professional bodies such as the linguists’ body CIOL.

Please contact Deborah Scott on 0131 240 2185 or scottde@slab.org.uk (or Charlene Mason on 0131 240 2052 or masonch@slab.org.uk) if you need more information or have any queries after reading the guidance below.
