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

About Duns
Duns is a small market town in the Scottish Borders, set in rolling farmland in the old county of Berwickshire. It is a rural place without a court or general hospital of its own; Berwickshire Sheriff Court closed in 2015, and local cases are now heard at the Borders sheriff court in Jedburgh, with Scotland's most serious matters going before the High Court of Justiciary. Hospital care is based at Borders General Hospital near Melrose. Everyday council, health and legal services are what bring translation and interpreting work our way. This is farming country, and agriculture in the Borders has drawn workers from Poland and elsewhere in central Europe, so those languages come up most often. The town keeps a memorial to the Polish troops stationed here during the Second World War, a reminder that the connection is not new. When a rarer language is needed for a hearing or a medical appointment, that is the kind of request other agencies find hardest to fill, and the kind we cover.

About the Damara language
Damara is the name for the Damara people's variety of Khoekhoe, also called Nama, a Khoisan language of Namibia known for its click consonants and spoken as well in parts of Botswana and South Africa. It holds national-language status in Namibia. Britain has no established Damara-speaking community, and Namibian migration here is small, so the language appears only occasionally in our work. When it does, it is usually a single civil document or a supporting paper for a Home Office or UKVI application, or an academic transcript assessed by UK ENIC. Khoekhoe as a whole, including the Nama and Damara varieties, has roughly 200,000 speakers.
