300+ Languages We Translate | Prism Language Solutions

Prism Language Solutions translates in more than 300 languages, and this index lists every one clients request by name, from Spanish, Chinese and Arabic to Mam, Karen, Chuukese and Woleaian. Each language page explains where its documents come from and what tends to go wrong, and the 25 most requested also have an interpreter page. If the language you need is missing, ask anyway: the network is larger than the index.

How Many Languages Do You Translate?

More than 300, counting the network rather than the index. The 279 translation pages below are the languages people search for and call about by name. Behind them, the linguist network reaches regional languages and minority varieties requested a few times a year. A language without a page is simply one we have not had reason to write about yet.

Every translation is done by a human linguist working into their native language and matched to the subject. For official use it is complete, word for word, and signed with a Certificate of Translation Accuracy, the format USCIS describes in 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) and the one courts and universities ask for in much the same terms. A Tigrinya marriage record leaves here with the same certificate as a French one.

Translation by Language

Pick a language to see the documents we most often receive in it, the spelling and date problems particular to it, and what to send. Each page covers both directions: certified translation into English for US offices, and translation from English for readers of that language, such as patient instructions, school notices and benefit letters.

Which Language to Request for a Document Translation

The language a client speaks and the language on their paperwork are often two different things. Guatemala registers births and marriages in Spanish, so the certified translation for a Mam case is usually Spanish to English, with Mam needed only for a declaration, a voice message or a letter from a community authority. Bangladesh issues its civil records in Bangla, which makes a Sylheti file a Bangla translation handled by someone who knows Sylhet and its place names. Old family papers in Toishanese cases are written in Chinese characters. A Karen file tends to hold Thai, Burmese and UNHCR camp records.

So on the quote form, name the language of the paper, and mention the language of the person as well if an interpreter may follow. Unsure what you are holding? Upload the scan and we will identify the language and script before pricing it. Sorting this out at the start costs nothing. Sorting it out after the wrong linguist is assigned costs a week.

Interpreters by Language

Twenty-five languages have their own interpreter page, covering court hearings, hospital appointments and USCIS interviews in person, by phone or by video. They are the languages US courts and hospitals book most, plus rare ones such as Mam and Karen.

Matching the Dialect When You Book an Interpreter

When an interpreting booking goes wrong, the cause is usually the variety rather than the language. A Cantonese interpreter sent to a Toishanese patient, a Dhaka-trained Bengali interpreter sent to a Sylheti speaker, a Spanish interpreter sent to someone who speaks Mam: each looks right on the booking sheet and fails in the room. Karen divides into S’gaw and Pwo. Chuukese, Pohnpeian and Marshallese are separate languages, and a request for a "Micronesian interpreter" has to be narrowed to one of them before anyone can be assigned.

The fix is cheap: tell us the country and, if you know it, the town. For Mam the municipality matters. For Arabic, the country decides whether Moroccan or Sudanese Arabic is needed in the room.

Rare Language Translation and Interpreting

Rare languages are the reason many of our clients find us. Courts and hospitals come to Prism for Karen, Mam, Chuukese and Tigrinya when a request has already gone unfilled somewhere else, and the index reflects that range: Pacific languages such as Woleaian, Ulithian and Kapingamarangi, Mayan languages such as Qanjobal and Kaqchikel, and African languages from Tigre and Beja to Kirundi and Nuer. Where the pool of qualified linguists is small, you get a realistic lead time with the quote, not after you confirm.

A printed translation into a rare language only helps a reader who reads that script. For a patient handout or a school notice, ask us whether an interpreter reading the English aloud in the target language would serve the family better than a document. Pricing works as it does for any language: short certificates from around $24.95 per page and longer documents typically $0.10 to $0.25 per source word. Those are guide figures; the written quote is the price.

Translation for a Language Not Listed Here

Send the document or the interpreting details through the quote form and name the language as closely as you can, with the country and region. Requests often arrive under the name of a larger neighboring language, and the region is what lets us find the right person. Within 60 minutes of business-hours receipt, a project manager sends back a fixed price and a delivery date. For urgent interpreting, call the intake desk on +1 (833) 282 8883, which answers 24 hours a day.

Questions we get asked

How many languages does Prism Language Solutions translate?

More than 300. This page lists the 279 that have their own translation page, and the network reaches beyond them, so ask about any language not shown.

Can you translate from English into another language?

Yes. Consent forms, school letters, benefit notices and contracts are translated from English by a native speaker of the target language and priced per source word.

Will USCIS accept a certified translation from a rare language?

USCIS asks for a complete English translation with a translator certification, and that rule is the same for Tigrinya as for Spanish. We prepare every certified translation to meet it, with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. Acceptance is decided by the office reviewing the filing.

Can I book an interpreter for a language without an interpreter page?

Yes. The interpreter pages cover the 25 most requested languages, and interpreters for others in the network are booked the same way, in person, by phone or by video. Book a rare language as early as the date allows.

What if I do not know which language my document is in?

Upload a clear scan on the quote form. A project manager identifies the language and script and states both in the written quote, and nothing is charged until you confirm.
