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

French translator FAQs for Swansea
How much does French translation cost in Swansea?
It depends on the length of the document, the language pair and how quickly you need it back. Certified work on short certificates is priced per document rather than per word. Send the document through the quote form and we'll give you a fixed price, normally within the hour during UK office hours.
Do I need a certified French translation?
For most UK official use (UKVI, courts, universities and registry offices) yes.

If your receiving body asks for a sworn or apostilled format instead, tell us at quote stage.
How quickly can you translate a French document in Swansea?
A short document is normally back the next working day. Larger projects get a realistic delivery date that builds in the second-linguist review. Same-day is sometimes possible for shorter items; tell us the deadline and we'll be straight with you about whether we can hit it.

About Swansea
Swansea is a city and county on the south Wales coast, and much of the work that reaches us here runs through its courts, hospitals and university. Serious cases are heard at Swansea Crown Court, with first hearings and summary matters handled at the magistrates' court. Morriston and Singleton hospitals, both run by the Swansea Bay University Health Board, serve the city and Neath Port Talbot, and Swansea University brings in students and staff from well beyond Wales. Together they create steady, year-round demand for interpreters and certified translations. Swansea is officially bilingual, and Welsh is used alongside English in public life. The city also has a long-settled Bangladeshi community and a sizeable Muslim population, so Bengali and Arabic come up regularly. We are also asked for the rarer languages a court hearing or hospital appointment can turn on, and those are the requests other agencies often cannot supply.

About the French language
French is one of the most widely spoken European languages in the UK. Around 165,000 French-born residents live here, with close to half in Greater London, concentrated in Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster, and Hammersmith and Fulham, and a further cluster across the South East. The French translation and interpreting work we handle ranges from civil documents, birth and marriage certificates and personal papers for Home Office and UKVI immigration and settlement applications, through court and tribunal material, to academic transcripts and diplomas assessed by UK ENIC. There is also steady commercial and legal work given the close business ties between Britain and France. French has about 74 million native speakers and some 300 million speakers in total worldwide.
