Translators and Interpreters
Welcome to the Sámi Parliament’s translator and interpreter search service!
Looking for a Sámi-language translator or interpreter? This service helps you find freelance translators and interpreters working in Northern Sámi, Inari Sámi and Skolt Sámi.
When necessary, translators at the Sámi language office assist with the translation of Sámi-language documents required for dealing with public authorities. The Sámi language office does not provide interpreting services, but maintains a list of freelance interpreters and helps organise Sámi language interpreting.
