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

About Galashiels
Galashiels sits in the Scottish Borders, within easy reach of Edinburgh on the Borders Railway. Under Scotland's court system, criminal work from the town is dealt with at the Sheriff Court in Selkirk, with the most serious cases going before the High Court of Justiciary. Healthcare centres on Borders General Hospital near Melrose, and Heriot-Watt University's School of Textiles and Design, which shares its Galashiels campus with Borders College, brings students and staff into the town. Between them, these keep demand for interpreters and certified translations steady. Galashiels is a mainly English and Scots-speaking Borders town, without the large settled communities of the central belt. Language support here tends to be for individual court cases, hospital appointments and immigration matters, and increasingly for Polish and other Eastern European speakers who have settled in the area. We are also called on for the rarer languages a single hearing or appointment can turn on, and those are usually the requests other agencies struggle to fill.

About the Siraiki language
Siraiki, also written Saraiki, comes from southern Punjab in Pakistan, and its speakers in Britain form part of the large British Pakistani community, though they are a smaller group within it than Punjabi or Mirpuri Pothwari speakers. Our Siraiki work is mostly interpreting for NHS appointments, court and immigration tribunal hearings, and Home Office and UKVI matters, along with civil documents such as birth, marriage and identity papers and academic records assessed by UK ENIC. We confirm Siraiki specifically rather than assume standard Punjabi, since the two differ noticeably. Siraiki is spoken by close to 29 million people according to Pakistan's 2023 census, overwhelmingly in the southern districts of Punjab and neighbouring areas of Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
