Tswana Interpreters in Burnaby
Our Setswana interpreters work in refugee, immigration and medical settings in Burnaby, and we note whether the speaker uses Botswana or South African Setswana at intake.
Interpreting comes up in IRB hearings, IRCC interviews and medical or settlement appointments. We confirm the client's preferred language and the interpreting requirements at booking, and assign a Setswana interpreter rather than assume another language will serve.
The Setswana of Botswana differs a little from that spoken in South Africa in vocabulary and everyday usage, and we note the speaker's country at intake. Interpreters render in the first person, in person in Burnaby or by phone and video across Canada.
For an in-person assignment in Burnaby we assign a Tswana 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.
Tswana Court, Medical and IRCC Interpreters in Burnaby
Setswana interpreters in Burnaby attend IRB hearings, IRCC interviews and medical appointments, with the language confirmed at booking and matched to Botswana or South African usage.
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 Tswana Language
Tswana (Setswana) is the national language of Botswana and one of South Africa's eleven official languages, spoken by around 8 million people across both countries. It's closely related to Sesotho and Sepedi. Speakers in Canada are served through our national interpreter network. Civil documents from Botswana and South Africa are typically in English, so our Tswana translation work centres on statements, church records and older documents written in the language.
