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

About Cheltenham
Cheltenham sits in Gloucestershire and is run by Cheltenham Borough Council. It has no Crown Court of its own, so the more serious cases are heard at Gloucester Crown Court a few miles away, while local solicitors, the hospital and the university still generate steady day-to-day demand. Cheltenham General Hospital is run by Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and the University of Gloucestershire has several campuses in the town, bringing in students and staff from beyond the UK. The languages we are asked for follow who lives and studies here. The town is mostly White British, with smaller Asian, Hindu and Muslim communities, so Urdu, Punjabi, Arabic and the main South Asian languages come up alongside European ones. We are also called on for the rarer languages an immigration matter or a single clinic appointment can turn on, and those are usually the requests other agencies cannot fill.

About the Behdini language
Behdini (Badini) is a northern subdialect of Kurmanji Kurdish, spoken mainly in the Duhok region of Iraqi Kurdistan and adjacent parts of south-eastern Turkey. Kurds are among the more established Middle Eastern communities in the UK, numbering around 94,000, with the largest concentration in London and further clusters in the West Midlands, Yorkshire and the North West, in cities like Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and Glasgow. Iraqi Kurds are the largest group, so Behdini features regularly in our work. Most of it is asylum and immigration documentation for the Home Office and the tribunals, civil certificates for settlement applications, and interpreting for the NHS, solicitors and courts. Kurmanji Kurdish is spoken by roughly 17 million people worldwide.
