About

I’m Dr Abdoul Aziz Dieng, a professional Fula (Pulaar) interpreter, Wolof interpreter, and French–English interpreter, with a background in linguistics and extensive experience working in high-stakes legal, academic, NGO, and public-sector contexts.

I specialise in court, medical, conference, and institutional interpreting, delivering communication that is precise, culturally grounded, and reliable under pressure. My work regularly supports courts, researchers, public bodies, and international organisations in the UK, EU, and Africa.

Alongside interpreting, I also provide certified-style translation and academic editing for complex texts such as contracts, journal articles, theses, policy documents, and institutional reports, ensuring terminological accuracy and publication-ready clarity.

I am a Member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists (MCIL), with my professional interpreter profile publicly listed by CIOL: CIOL Interpreter Profile . I am also an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA).
