fulfulbridge provides interpreters for foreign investors and business delegations in Morocco: site visits, meetings with authorities and partners, and negotiations. We work for country managers, market-entry teams and delegation organisers, in 9 languages. One team can follow your project from the first visit to staff training.
What you get
- Your language, and the local ones. Meetings in Morocco often run in French or Arabic. We interpret into English, Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese, German, Russian or Turkish.
- Consecutive or whispered interpretation for meetings and site visits, with little or no equipment.
- The same interpreter for each visit, when you book several visits, so your terms stay the same.
- Strict confidentiality for negotiations and board meetings.
- Your documents translated. Presentations, investor guides and business documents. If an authority needs a sworn translation, we can procure one from an independent sworn translator. We are not sworn translators ourselves.
Where we help
- Site visits to industrial zones and free zones

Questions from investors
Can the same interpreter cover all our visits?
Yes, when you book the visits together. Tell us all your dates in one request.
Do you work in Mandarin, German, Russian or Turkish?
Yes. We fly in the interpreters for these languages. Travel and accommodation are added to the quote.
Which type of interpretation do we need for a site visit?
Usually consecutive: the speaker pauses, then the interpreter speaks. For one to three listeners in a larger meeting, whispered interpretation works with no equipment.
Can you procure a sworn translation of our company documents?
Yes, for Arabic, English, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish. We are not sworn translators, but we can procure a sworn translation from an independent sworn translator, and we manage the deadline and delivery.
