Bajuni translation services in Woking
Document translation is mostly handled by email: your file goes to a Bajuni native translator, the translated version comes back to you in the format you need. So even though this page is about Woking, location matters less for translation than it does for interpreting: we deliver to clients in Woking the same way we deliver to clients anywhere else in the UK. The Woking-specific bit is the local context: if your document is for a Woking solicitor, a Woking hospital or a Woking university, we'll handle the formatting and the accompanying paperwork the way those bodies expect.
Certified Bajuni translation
For most UK official use in Woking (UKVI applications, court proceedings, university admissions, registry office work, Home Office cases), certified Bajuni 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.

How to order a Bajuni translation in Woking
Send us the document. We'll come back within an hour during UK office hours with a price and a delivery date. A Bajuni 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 Bajuni translator (and the other way round) in Woking
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 Bajuni in the first place. Legal, medical and technical documents stay faithful to the source, with formatting matched to the original.

About Woking
Woking sits in north-west Surrey, a commuter town with fast links into London, and the work that reaches us here is shaped by the courts and hospitals around it. Serious criminal cases are heard at Guildford Crown Court, while Woking Community Hospital offers a walk-in centre for minor injuries rather than full emergency care, which is provided at St Peter's Hospital in Chertsey and the Royal Surrey. These, together with local solicitors and law firms, generate steady demand for interpreters and certified translations. The languages we are asked for follow who actually lives here. Woking has a long-established Italian community, many with roots in the Sicilian town of Mussomeli, so Italian comes up regularly. There is also a large Pakistani population around Sheerwater and Mayford, which brings requests for Urdu and Punjabi, and the town is home to the Shah Jahan Mosque, the first purpose-built mosque in Britain. We are also called on for the rarer languages a court or clinic appointment can hinge on, the requests other agencies often cannot supply.

About the Bajuni language
Bajuni is usually classed as a northern dialect of Swahili, a Bantu language, spoken by the Bajuni people of the East African coast. Its traditional territory runs along the shoreline and islands between Kismayo in southern Somalia and the Lamu archipelago in northern Kenya. Speaker numbers are small, plausibly in the low tens of thousands, and the variety differs enough from standard Swahili in sound and vocabulary that other Swahili speakers notice it straight away. The Bajuni have historically lived from fishing and coastal trade, and their speech preserves older Swahili features alongside borrowings from Somali and Arabic. The civil war in Somalia displaced many Bajuni families from the islands, and communities now live scattered through Kenya and further abroad, which makes the language increasingly vulnerable.
