The Ukrainian community in Mons
Mons and Hainaut have received Ukrainian refugees since the outbreak of full-scale war in February 2022. Fedasil reception centres across Hainaut and CPAS social services in Mons have supported Ukrainian arrivals who obtained temporary protection status in Belgium. The scale of displacement - representing the largest refugee movement in Europe since the Second World War - has required a sustained and coordinated humanitarian response from local authorities in the Mons region.
A professional imperative: Ukrainian is a distinct language from Russian. The two languages differ in vocabulary, grammar and written script, and Ukrainian refugees have consistently and clearly stated a preference for Ukrainian interpreters rather than Russian speakers in all formal and informal interactions with Belgian institutions. This preference reflects both linguistic accuracy and the profound cultural and political significance of language identity in the context of the war. TranslateBE provides exclusively native Ukrainian interpreters for Ukrainian assignments in Mons.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why must Ukrainian refugees in Mons have a Ukrainian interpreter rather than a Russian one?
Ukrainian and Russian are distinct languages. Ukrainian refugees have consistently requested Ukrainian interpreters - not Russian speakers - for all formal interactions with Belgian authorities. This preference has both linguistic and deeply personal cultural and political dimensions given the context of the war. TranslateBE provides only native Ukrainian speakers for Ukrainian interpreting assignments.
Are your Ukrainian interpreters certified for CGRS asylum hearings related to Mons?
Yes. Our Ukrainian interpreters for CGRS assignments are registered with the National Register of Court Experts (RNEJ) or hold equivalent recognition from a Court of Appeal. They are trained in asylum procedure terminology and bound by a strict professional code of ethics requiring impartiality, confidentiality and precision throughout every hearing.
Can I book a Ukrainian interpreter in Mons within 24 hours for an urgent medical or social services procedure?
Yes. After submitting the quote form, you receive an availability confirmation within 1 hour during business hours. For absolute emergencies - an emergency admission at CHU Ambroise Paré or an urgent CPAS or Fedasil meeting - telephone interpreting can be arranged immediately.
Do your Ukrainian interpreters have experience with trauma care interpreting for war refugees?
Yes. Our interpreters working with Ukrainian refugees are aware of the psychological and trauma dimensions of their role. They maintain a calm, professional and empathetic demeanour, do not editorialise, and ensure that the refugee's account is conveyed with full accuracy and dignity. For particularly sensitive assignments, please indicate this when booking.
