Tetum (Timor-Leste) Translating and Interpreting Services

Experienced, Accredited Interpreter and Translator

With nearly fifteen years of experience interpreting and translating Tetum in Timor-Leste and Australia***, I can translate material without the assistance of machine translation (MT); or if you prefer, I can combine my expertise with the latest AI-driven machine translation technologies to offer cost-effective services. While Tetum MT is still developing, it is advancing rapidly. However, fully reliable MT is a long way off in every language, so I meticulously review any MT work to ensure clear, natural, and accurate translations.
