Liège hosts Romanian workers in its construction sector and elderly care facilities, with a community that has grown steadily since Romania's EU accession in 2007. Romanian workers and families in the Liège region regularly need professional interpreting for medical procedures at CHU de Liège, social matters at CPAS and legal proceedings at the Liège courts. TranslateBE provides certified Romanian interpreters available within 24 hours across the Liège province.
The Romanian community in Liège
Romanian workers arrived in Liège primarily after 2014, when all remaining restrictions on Romanian workers in the Belgian labour market were lifted. They found employment in construction and renovation projects across the Liège province, in residential care homes (maisons de repos) and in home care services supporting Wallonia's ageing population. Communes such as Seraing, Herstal and Visé host Romanian workers employed in industrial maintenance and civil engineering.
CHU de Liège, one of Wallonia's major university hospitals, treats Romanian-speaking patients across all specialities. The CPAS provides social support to Romanian families navigating administrative procedures in French. Liège's courts handle labour disputes, civil proceedings and criminal cases involving Romanian-speaking parties. The language barrier is particularly challenging in a monolingual French-speaking environment like Wallonia, making professional Romanian interpreting essential for equitable access to services.
