- Agency / Portsmouth
Prism Linguistics is a UK translation agency working in Portsmouth and across the country, with translation and interpreting in over 300 languages. Most of our Portsmouth work is for the Home Office, the NHS, HM Courts & Tribunals Service, UK universities, solicitors and businesses based in or trading through the area.
What we actually do for Portsmouth clients
Document translation for UK official use, interpreting for appointments in and around Portsmouth, and ongoing language support for businesses that work in more than one language day-to-day. The work breaks down simply: send us what you need translated or describe the appointment you need an interpreter for, and we come back with a price and a timescale.
Document translation in Portsmouth
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 Portsmouth
Face-to-face for hospital appointments, court hearings, solicitor conferences, council meetings and business meetings in Portsmouth. 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
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 — we'll be straight about whether your language can be resourced inside your deadline.
Sectors we work with in Portsmouth
- Legal — solicitors and chambers, including Legal Aid Agency funded work where applicable.

Technical translation
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
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.
How we work
Quotes back within an hour in UK office hours. Translation jobs assigned to a native linguist with the right subject background, then reviewed by a second linguist before delivery.
