Hi Vale,

Have you tried searching the ProZ.com directory of translation companies (http://www.proz.com/translation-companies)? Look for those based in Malta, search their websites, try giving them a call if you have specific questions…

You could also try searching the ProZ.com directory of freelance interpreters (http://www.proz.com/freelance-interpreters/), to look for those based in Malta and/or interpreting from/into Maltese, review their profiles, and, possibly, contact them directly.

Running a basic Google search, I have also found the following articles that may be of some interest to you:

HTH,

Daniel
