Translation services turn a document written in one language into another so that the office receiving it will accept it. Prism Language Solutions provides them in more than 300 languages: certified translation for USCIS, courts, universities and licensing boards, and legal, medical and business translation for firms, hospitals and employers. Every document is translated by a human linguist working into their native language, read against the original by a second linguist, and priced in writing before any work begins.
Start with the page that matches the document in front of you. If you are not sure yours needs certifying, read certified translation first: it sets out what a certificate is, who asks for one, and when a plain translation is enough. Interpreting is booked separately and has its own index.
If you would rather just ask. Put the file on the quote form and a project manager replies with a fixed price and a delivery date inside 60 minutes during business hours. Nothing is charged until you confirm.- Certified translations prepared to meet USCIS requirements
- Human linguists only, matched to the subject
- Fixed written quote within 60 minutes in business hours
- One office in New York, linguists in every state
Certified and Official Document Translation
This is the larger half of the work. A certified translation is complete, word for word, laid out to mirror the original, and signed with a Certificate of Translation Accuracy naming the linguist. USCIS sets that requirement in 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), and courts, universities, credential evaluators and licensing boards ask for much the same thing. Acceptance is always decided by the office receiving the file, so the job is to leave them nothing to query: every stamp, seal, marginal note and reverse side accounted for.
- Certified translation: the format, what it includes, and what each recipient expects.
- USCIS translation: the document set for family, employment, naturalization and asylum filings.
- Notarized translation: when a notary is actually required and what notarization does and does not add.
- Apostille translation: translating apostilled documents, and translations for use abroad.
- Rush translation: same-day and overnight service, and what it costs.
- Documents we translate: birth certificates, diplomas, transcripts, passports, police clearances and more, each with its own page.
Specialist Translation for Law, Medicine and Business
Subject matter decides who translates. A discovery bundle goes to a linguist who has worked inside a law firm; a discharge summary goes to one who translates clinical documents daily and knows which abbreviations expand to what. Individual linguists may hold ATA certification or a state court credential, and we name what the person assigned to your file actually holds rather than describing the pool in general terms.
- Legal translation: judgments, contracts, discovery, affidavits and translator declarations for attorneys and courts.
- Medical translation: records, consent forms, discharge instructions, clinical documents, for hospitals and for patients.
- Business translation: HR documents, financial statements, marketing and correspondence with consistent terminology.
- Document translation: everything that does not need a certificate, priced per word.
- Website localization: sites, apps and product content adapted for a market, not just translated.
- Transcription: audio and video transcribed and, where needed, translated and certified.
How Much Do Translation Services Cost?
Certified translation of a short certificate starts from around $24.95 per page, and longer documents are priced per source word, typically $0.10 to $0.25 depending on language, subject and deadline. Interpreting is charged by the hour. Those are guide figures for the US market, not a price list: a scanned handwritten record and a clean typed contract of the same length are not the same job.
The number that matters is the one on your quote, which is fixed before work starts and does not move afterwards. Full ranges are on the pricing page.
How Long Does a Document Translation Take?
A one or two page certificate is usually back within 24 hours. Multi-page records, transcripts and contracts depend on word count and on how legible the source is, and the delivery date is written into the quote so you are not guessing. Where a filing deadline is close, say so on the form: rush translation covers same-day and overnight work.
Send the clearest scan you have. Most delays are caused by a page photographed at an angle or a reverse side nobody included, not by the translation itself.
Who Translates Your Document
Human linguists only, translating into their native language, matched to the subject and background-checked where the setting calls for it. A second linguist reads the finished translation against the source before it is certified, which is the step that catches a transposed date or a name spelled two ways across a family file.
Rare languages are the part of this we are known for. Courts and hospitals call us for Karen, Mam, Chuukese and Tigrinya because the request has already failed somewhere else. If you need a language we have not published a page for, ask anyway.
Translation by Language
Each language page explains where documents in that language usually come from, what the recurring translation problems are, and what to send us. The list covers the languages US clients ask for most; the network covers more than 300, so ask if yours is not here.
