Translation Agency in Exeter

Prism Linguistics is a UK translation agency working in Exeter and across the country, with translation and interpreting in over 300 languages. Most of our Exeter work is for the Home Office, the NHS, HM Courts & Tribunals Service, UK universities, solicitors and businesses based in or trading through the area.

Translation and interpreting services in Exeter

Exeter is the county town of Devon, run under a two-tier arrangement with Devon County Council above the city council. Much of the work that reaches us here comes through its courts, its hospital and its university. Exeter has a Crown Court, housed in the combined court centre alongside the county court, with a magistrates' court handling first hearings and summary cases. The Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust runs the main hospital, and the University of Exeter brings in students and staff from around the world. Together they generate regular demand for interpreters and certified translation. Exeter is less mixed than the larger cities, but the university and the NHS still bring a real spread of languages. Chinese and Arabic come up through the student population, alongside European languages such as Polish and Portuguese. We are also asked for the rarer languages that a single clinic appointment or court hearing can depend on, and those are usually the requests that other agencies struggle to supply.

Document translation in Exeter

Certificates, contracts, court bundles, medical records, financial statements, transcripts and marketing copy, translated by native linguists, reviewed by a second linguist, delivered in the format your recipient expects. Certified translations come with a signed declaration of accuracy on company letterhead, which is what UKVI, HM Courts & Tribunals Service, registry offices and UK universities normally require.

Interpreting in Exeter

Face-to-face for hospital appointments, court hearings, solicitor conferences, council meetings and business meetings in Exeter. Telephone interpreting for shorter or more urgent conversations, connected within minutes. Video where the parties are in different places but eye contact still matters.

Languages we translate in Exeter

Over 300 languages and dialects: the common European, South Asian, East Asian, Middle Eastern and African languages have linguists on standby; rarer dialects sometimes need a day or two's notice to confirm the right person. The languages page lists what we cover, or ask us and we'll be straight about whether your language can be resourced inside your deadline.

Business and technical translation in Exeter

User manuals, engineering specifications, software UI strings and knowledge-base articles. Same process as our other document work, with a translation memory kept for your account so updates only cost you for the new text. If you've got a glossary or a previous translation we should align with, send it over.

Certified translation in Exeter

For UK official use (UKVI, HM Courts & Tribunals Service, registry offices and UK universities), certified translation is normally what's required. We provide that as standard: the translation plus a signed declaration of accuracy on Prism Linguistics letterhead, with the translator's name and the company stamp. Sworn or apostilled formats are available where a specific recipient needs them; just tell us at quote stage.

Translation agency Exeter: FAQs

How much does translation cost in Exeter?

It depends on the document length, the language pair and the turnaround you need. Short certificates are priced per document; longer material per project. Send the document through the quote form and we'll come back with a fixed price, normally within the hour during UK office hours.

Are your certified translations accepted by the Home Office and UKVI?

Yes. Certified translation is our standard for UK official use: the translated document plus a signed declaration of accuracy on Prism Linguistics letterhead, with the translator's name and the company stamp. That format is what UKVI, courts, universities and registry offices normally ask for.

Which languages does your Exeter translation agency cover?

Over 300 languages, from major European and Asian languages to community languages with far fewer local speakers. The same network covers interpreting, so if a document job turns into a meeting that needs an interpreter, one team handles both.

Do you provide interpreters in Exeter as well as document translation?

Yes. Face-to-face interpreters attend appointments across Exeter, and telephone or video interpreting connects in minutes for shorter conversations. Bookings are matched on language, dialect and subject experience for NHS, court, council, business and private settings.
