Afrikaans translation services in Boston
Document translation is mostly handled by email: your file goes to a Afrikaans native translator, the translated version comes back to you in the format you need. So even though this page is about Boston, location matters less for translation than it does for interpreting: we deliver to clients in Boston the same way we deliver to clients anywhere else in the UK. The Boston-specific bit is the local context: if your document is for a Boston solicitor, a Boston hospital or a Boston university, we'll handle the formatting and the accompanying paperwork the way those bodies expect.
Certified Afrikaans translation
For most UK official use in Boston (UKVI applications, court proceedings, university admissions, registry office work, Home Office cases), certified Afrikaans 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. Sworn or apostilled formats are available if your receiving body asks for those instead; just tell us at quote stage.
What we translate
How to order a Afrikaans translation in Boston
Send us the document. We'll come back within an hour during UK office hours with a price and a delivery date. A Afrikaans 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 Afrikaans translator (and the other way round) in Boston
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 Afrikaans in the first place. Legal, medical and technical documents stay faithful to the source, with formatting matched to the original.

About Boston
Boston is a market town in Lincolnshire, set in a farming region and home to a notably international workforce drawn to the local agricultural economy. That mix of languages means interpreting and translation are a familiar part of local life. GP surgeries and clinics book interpreters so patients can explain their symptoms, local solicitors and legal firms handle cases for clients whose first language isn't English, and council services, schools and colleges support families across a wide range of languages. Local businesses come to us when documents need translating accurately. Prism Linguistics provides certified document translation, face-to-face interpreting, and telephone and video interpreting in more than 300 languages, so the right option fits the setting. Every piece of work is carried out by a qualified native-speaker linguist and checked by a second linguist afterwards, and it is all handled under UK GDPR and confidentiality standards. We cover Boston and the towns and villages around it.

About the Afrikaans language
Afrikaans reaches Britain through the large South African community: the 2021 census counted around 235,000 South Africa-born residents, a good share of them Afrikaans-speaking. Most have settled in Surrey and south-west London, in places such as Putney, Wimbledon, Sutton and Merton, and in commuter towns like Woking and Elmbridge. Because Afrikaans speakers are typically fluent in English, our work is more document-focused than interpreting: birth, marriage and unabridged certificates for Home Office settlement and citizenship applications, court and estate papers, and academic transcripts assessed by UK ENIC. Afrikaans has around 7 million native speakers, almost all in South Africa and neighbouring Namibia.
