Need a Sesotho interpreter in Burnaby? Prism Linguistics arranges professional Sesotho interpreters for court and tribunal hearings, hospital and clinic appointments, IRCC interviews and police or community meetings, on site in Burnaby or by telephone and video, with a fixed quote before you book.
Sesotho Interpreters in Burnaby
Sesotho interpreters in Burnaby for refugee, medical and legal settings, matched to Sesotho specifically and to Lesotho or South African usage, on site or by phone and video.
The key at intake is not to conflate the Sotho-Tswana languages. A Sesotho speaker is not reliably served by a Sepedi or Setswana interpreter, so we confirm the specific language, the speaker's country and the interpreting requirements before the appointment, since usage differs between Lesotho and South Africa, and assign a Sesotho interpreter accordingly.
Requests come up for IRB refugee hearings, IRCC interviews, and hospital, court and settlement appointments. Sesotho interpreters attend in person in Burnaby where one is nearby, or join by phone or video, with the interpreter rendering exactly what is said.
For an in-person assignment in Burnaby we assign a Sesotho interpreter based in or near the city. Telephone and video interpreting can usually be arranged the same day. Courts, law firms, hospitals, IRCC applicants and private clients book us directly.
Sesotho Court, Medical and IRCC Interpreters in Burnaby
Prism books Sesotho interpreters in Burnaby for IRB hearings, IRCC interviews and hospital appointments, confirming the language is Sesotho rather than the related Sepedi or Setswana, and the speaker's country, since usage differs.
Burnaby lies immediately east of Vancouver and is British Columbia's third largest city, home to major shopping, film production and technology employers around Metrotown and the Brentwood and Lougheed town centres. It is highly multilingual: English is the mother tongue of about 41 per cent of residents, while more than half report another first language, and the Chinese community, including Mandarin and Cantonese speakers, is the single largest group, alongside Korean, Tagalog and Punjabi speakers.
Simon Fraser University sits atop Burnaby Mountain and the British Columbia Institute of Technology is also based here, drawing international students and faculty. Burnaby Hospital operates under the Fraser Health authority, and the Provincial Court of British Columbia and the Supreme Court of British Columbia serve the area. Together these institutions, along with settlement agencies and local businesses, generate ongoing demand for translation and interpreting in the community's many languages.

About the Sesotho Language
Sesotho (Southern Sotho) is the national language of Lesotho and one of South Africa's eleven official languages, spoken by around 6 million people total. It's closely related to Sepedi (Northern Sotho) and Setswana. Sesotho speakers in Canada are served through our national interpreter network. Civil documents from Lesotho and South Africa are typically issued in English, so our Sesotho translation work usually concerns Sesotho-only entries, stamps and handwritten notes.

Is Sesotho the same as Sepedi or Setswana?
