Translation and Interpreting Services in Manchester

Anyone with a Manchester, New Hampshire address can order certified translation from Prism Language Solutions online and receive it by email, and court, medical and USCIS interpreters are assigned from our nationwide network: a linguist from southern New Hampshire or nearby Massachusetts for in-person work, phone or video for the rest. Prism has one office, in New York. Manchester’s requests run from Spanish and French through Haitian Creole, Nepali, Vietnamese, Bosnian, Arabic and Swahili, which is a long list for a city of 115,000.

The Manchester School District has almost 2,100 English learners speaking 60 languages, the largest such group in the state. The International Institute of New England runs its New Hampshire resettlement, job placement, English and citizenship services from Pine Street. Those are the two places where a new language usually shows up first, and then it reaches the courts and the hospitals.

Court Interpreters for Hillsborough County Superior Court in Manchester

The Superior Court for the northern district of Hillsborough County sits at 300 Chestnut Street, across from the Norris Cotton Federal Building, and hears felonies, larger civil suits and jury trials. The 9th Circuit Court’s Manchester district division, at 35 Amherst Street, takes misdemeanors, small claims, landlord-tenant cases and violations for the city.

The New Hampshire Judicial Branch provides interpreters at no cost to litigants, witnesses and others with a significant interest in a case, for in-court proceedings and dealings with the clerk’s office. It does not cover private communication with an attorney outside the courthouse. That gap is ours to fill: client meetings, preparation before testimony, depositions, and the legal translation of exhibits. Request the court’s interpreter early through its information center, and book counsel’s own through us. See court interpreting.

Certified Translation for the USCIS Manchester Field Office

The USCIS Manchester Field Office covers the whole of New Hampshire, but it is not in Manchester: it is located in Bedford, at 9 Ridgewood Road, where the Application Support Center for biometrics also sits. Asylum applicants from New Hampshire are interviewed by the Boston Asylum Office, which covers the five New England states other than Connecticut from the McCormack Federal Building at 5 Post Office Square.

Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), USCIS needs a full English translation of every foreign-language document, certified by the translator as complete and accurate, and the receiving officer decides whether it is accepted. Canadian records deserve a check before you order: if a certificate from Quebec or elsewhere carries French wording, even a single stamp, that part has to be translated. Our French-Canadian translation handles that. See USCIS translation and birth certificate translation.

Medical Interpreters for Elliot Hospital and Catholic Medical Center

Elliot Hospital, at One Elliot Way, opened in 1890 as New Hampshire’s first community general hospital; it has 296 beds, runs a Level II trauma center, and since 2018 has been part of SolutionHealth with Southern New Hampshire Health System in Nashua. Catholic Medical Center, at 100 McGregor Street, has 330 licensed beds and a Level III trauma center, and grew from two hospitals founded in the 1890s; its New England Heart and Vascular Institute runs the cardiac service.

Each hospital provides interpreters for its own patients. Outside requests come from attorneys, insurers and families: an independent medical examination, a cardiology second opinion explained in Nepali or Vietnamese, or medical records translation for a claim. See medical interpreting.

Spanish and Haitian Creole Translation in Manchester

About 9,800 Manchester residents speak Spanish at home, and some 4,200 of them report speaking English less than very well. The records behind our Spanish translation work here are mostly Dominican, Colombian, Salvadoran, Honduran, Guatemalan and Mexican: birth and marriage certificates, police certificates and school records. Every marginal note, seal and registry stamp on those records is translated where it sits.

The Census groups French, Haitian Creole and Cajun together, and in Manchester that group reaches 3.3 percent of residents, about 3,600 people. Part of it is Canadian French, part of it is Haitian. Haitian Creole translation covers affidavits and correspondence, while Haitian civil certificates are usually written in French, so the two are often ordered together. A Haitian Creole interpreter can come to court on Chestnut Street or join by video.

Nepali, Bosnian and Swahili Interpreters in Manchester

About 430 Manchester residents were born in Nepal, 400 in Bosnia and Herzegovina and 330 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with more than 500 from other East African countries. These are small numbers, and that is exactly why an agency gets the call: a court, a school or a clinic may go months without a request, then need a speaker by Thursday. We supply Nepali translation, Bosnian translation and a Swahili interpreter, and for Congolese families we confirm first whether Kinyarwanda, Lingala, Swahili or French is the right language.

When nobody who speaks the language lives within driving distance of Manchester, the assignment goes to video remote interpreting, which works well for a school meeting or a clinic follow-up and less well for a long trial day.

Diploma Translation for SNHU and UNH Manchester

New Hampshire colleges enrolled 4,575 international students in 2024-25, and 42 percent came from India. Southern New Hampshire University had 719 of them and UNH Manchester 145; Manchester Community College and Saint Anselm College in neighboring Goffstown also admit students with foreign records. Grading scales and course titles stay exactly as printed in our diploma translation and academic transcript translation, so the evaluator can do the conversion.
