Sotho Interpreters in Burnaby
Our Sesotho interpreters cover IRCC interviews, IRB, school and medical settings in Burnaby, with Southern Sotho confirmed so it is not confused with the related Sepedi or Setswana.
Sesotho spoken in Lesotho and in South Africa differs slightly in vocabulary and usage but is broadly the same language, and it is partly intelligible with Sepedi and Setswana without being identical to them. At booking we confirm the speaker's country and that Sesotho, rather than a related Sotho-Tswana language, is the one needed.
Our Sesotho interpreters attend IRCC interviews and IRB matters, hospital and clinic appointments under PHIPA and PIPEDA, and settlement, school and legal meetings. Interpreters attend on site in Burnaby or join by phone and video across Canada, which suits appointments and interviews wherever a speaker lives.
For an in-person assignment in Burnaby we assign a Sotho 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.
Sotho Court, Medical and IRCC Interpreters in Burnaby
Sesotho interpreters in Burnaby attend IRCC interviews, IRB matters and hospital appointments, with the speaker's country and the correct Sotho-Tswana language confirmed before the session.
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 Sotho Language
Sotho is an umbrella term for the Sotho-Tswana group of Bantu languages - Sesotho (Southern Sotho) in Lesotho and South Africa, Sepedi (Northern Sotho) in South Africa, and Setswana (Tswana) in Botswana and South Africa. Around 18 million people speak some Sotho variety. The three are mutually intelligible to a significant degree but standardized separately. See our individual pages for each variety. Most Canadian Sotho translation work is rare given that civil documents in these countries are typically in English.
