Interpreters in Benin
A negotiation in Cotonou, a court hearing, a wedding with an English-speaking family, a factory visit at Glo-Djigbé: a professional interpreter makes sure everyone understands and is understood.
Liaison interpreting for appointments and visits, consecutive for meetings and interviews, simultaneous (with equipment) for conferences: we help you choose the mode that suits the number of participants and the setting.
Our interpreters work between French and English, and also with Benin's national languages (Fon, Yoruba, Goun, Bariba, Dendi, Adja…) and many international languages. That is essential for hearings, field surveys, medical missions and NGO projects outside the main cities.
We also offer remote interpreting by phone or video call for short appointments or conversations with people abroad.
Our prices depend on the document, language, formalities and deadline, so every request gets a free, no-obligation quote.
