Historically the united kingdom has been a liberal and progressive country which respects and welcomes cultures from around the globe. This is among the top features of this country that makes it so great.

The united kingdom has, for longer than a lot of people realise, been a haven for immigration which played an important role in the building with this country. Being an island with just a tiny stretch of water between us and the continent of mainland Europe helps make the UK an attractive destination for many Europeans along with other cultures which connect to Europe.

Furthermore, for more than 100 years London is a monetary juggernaut. It is a place where people’s fortunes can be created or asylum can be found. Under the British Empire people from all over the world came here to better their lives and achieve their dreams, some just to escape persecution or to feed their loved ones back home, and this still happens today.

Notting Hill CarnivalThe UK is arguably the earth’s most culturally diverse country and it is not because of the European union and its latest member countries as some might try to argue. It is because of hundreds and hundreds of years of history and the natural migration of men and women with time.

To get an idea of the impact immigration has received for the UK examining the Milton Keynes Community Language Service centre is a great example. Since the year 2000 the amount of translators has increased from 20 to 300. The centre, portion of Milton Keynes Council, now offers services in 84 languages rather than the original 12.

Twi, the second biggest language in Ghana, Teluga, spoken in India, and Yoruva, employed in Nigeria, are included for the centre’s list. English to Arabic translation has consistently been in demand across the UK along with eastern European languages. More exotic languages are now spoken helping to make the translation services industry very exciting in the united kingdom.

The centre supplies a free 24-hour service to immigrants helping them understand housing, health, police and legal matters in Milton Keynes, Luton, Bedford and Northampton.

The staff is currently in the act of recruiting a further 20 interpreters and want to add Pashto, and also the Afghan language, by the end of the year.

Gloria Drew, co-ordinator of the center, said the services were in “great demand” and the nature of users had changed significantly through the years.

She said: “We all have certainly seen a big increase in demand regarding our services and for different languages. When all of us started we have been helping those who were highly educated with professional jobs such as doctors.”

“Now their relatives have arrived and perhaps they are less highly educated and need our help more. Milton Keynes is an extremely multi-cultural and welcoming city with people from around the globe who speak a number of languages living here.”

“Our services are in great demand and we are often needed to help at health centres, various areas within the council, hospitals and law courts.”

“The interpreters all have a six day training assessment that is very intense because they have to learn all the terminology for social services, health and housing.”
