Acholi translation services in Cardiff
Document translation is mostly handled by email: your file goes to a Acholi native translator, the translated version comes back to you in the format you need. So even though this page is about Cardiff, location matters less for translation than it does for interpreting: we deliver to clients in Cardiff the same way we deliver to clients anywhere else in the UK. The Cardiff-specific bit is the local context: if your document is for a Cardiff solicitor, a Cardiff hospital or a Cardiff university, we'll handle the formatting and the accompanying paperwork the way those bodies expect.
Certified Acholi translation
For most UK official use in Cardiff (UKVI applications, court proceedings, university admissions, registry office work, Home Office cases), certified Acholi translation is what's required. We provide that as standard: the translated document plus a signed declaration of accuracy on Prism Linguistics letterhead, with the translator's name and our company stamp. The UK has no sworn translators, so certification is what UK offices accept. If an office abroad also wants an apostille or a notarised copy, that step is yours or your solicitor's; we can translate documents that already carry one.
What we translate
How to order a Acholi translation in Cardiff
Send us the document. We'll come back within an hour during UK office hours with a price and a delivery date. A Acholi native translator with the right subject background does the work; a second linguist reviews it; we deliver in the format you asked for. Standard turnaround for a short certificate is normally next working day; longer pieces are quoted with a realistic date.
English to Acholi translator (and the other way round) in Cardiff
We work in both directions. Customer-facing copy (websites, brochures, ads, emails) is adapted rather than translated word for word, so it reads like it was written in Acholi in the first place. Legal, medical and technical documents stay faithful to the source, with formatting matched to the original.

About Cardiff
Cardiff is the capital of Wales and its main centre for government, healthcare, law and education, which keeps demand for translation and interpreting high across the public and private sectors. Prism Linguistics provides professional translation and interpreting in Cardiff for legal firms, healthcare providers, universities, local authorities and businesses. Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, whose headquarters is the University Hospital of Wales, runs hospitals and clinics across the city where patients regularly need a face-to-face or telephone interpreter for appointments, maternity care and mental-health support. Cardiff's Crown and magistrates' courts hear criminal and civil work, and solicitors instruct us for court-experienced interpreters and certified translations of evidence, statements and identity documents, including matters funded by the Legal Aid Agency. Cardiff University and the city's other institutions bring international students and staff who need certified translations of degree certificates and transcripts for admission and UK ENIC recognition. We handle certified document translation, face-to-face interpreting, and video and telephone interpreting across the city and the wider region, from the CF postcodes in the centre out to Penarth, Barry and Caerphilly. Every job is completed by a qualified native-speaker linguist and checked by a second linguist, so certified documents and interpreting appointments meet UK professional and confidentiality standards. Welsh-language work is available where a document or appointment calls for it.

About the Acholi language
Acholi is a Southern Luo language of northern Uganda and, in smaller numbers, South Sudan. The Acholi-speaking community in the UK is modest, part of the wider Ugandan and South Sudanese diaspora rather than the larger Ugandan-Asian population, with people settled mainly around London, Leicester, the West Midlands and Greater Manchester. Much of our Acholi work is asylum and immigration documentation for the Home Office and the tribunals, alongside civil papers such as birth and marriage certificates for settlement and citizenship applications, and school or university records assessed by UK ENIC. We can also arrange interpreters for the NHS and courts where the setting calls for it. Around 1.5 million people speak Acholi worldwide.
