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

About the Mina language
Mina, also called Gen, is a coastal language of southern Togo and neighbouring Benin, closely related to Ewe and widely used as a trade language along that stretch of the West African coast. Its UK speakers are few and belong to the broader West African community, so requests come up only now and then. Documents from Togo and Benin are issued in French, so any translation work is usually French, and our Mina work itself is almost entirely interpreting: asylum tribunals, courts and NHS appointments for people most comfortable in their home language. Mina has around 620,000 speakers across Togo and Benin.
