Time in UK ; Time in Turkey

Interpreter or Translator.... What's the difference? Which do I need? Many people get confused between the roles, Often people refer to a translator when they really need an interpreter. So what is the difference? An Interpreter works with the spoken word and a Translator deals with the written word. They are very different specialisms. Contact me for further information

Trade Links with Turkey Useful links for contacting key organisations in the UK and Turkey can be found here. I can also help you with your language and cultural needs to help you do business. Even if your trade partner can speak English - having a linguist on your side helps deal with with the technical terms and avoid possible miscommunications. A linguist can also help avoid your trade partners gaining the upper hand in negotiations if they can speak both languages and you cannot. For a report on how linguists can help exporters see this link.
