Catalan Translation Services in Glasgow
Catalan translation and interpreting in Glasgow for UK courts, the NHS, the Home Office, solicitors, councils, businesses and individuals. Native Catalan linguists, certified document translation, face-to-face interpreters in and around Glasgow, and remote cover by phone and video.
What our Catalan translators and interpreters cover for Glasgow clients
Most Glasgow bookings split between two needs: a document that has to be in another language for a UK body to accept it, or a conversation that has to happen with someone whose strongest language isn't English. The detail differs from job to job, but the principle is the same: the work has to be accurate enough that nobody on the receiving end has to guess what was meant.
- Legal: contracts, court papers, witness statements, instructed work for solicitors in Glasgow.
- Healthcare: patient letters, clinical notes, consent forms for Glasgow hospitals and clinics.
- Police and criminal: interviews, statements and disclosure material for Glasgow police, probation and CPS work.
- Business: supplier contracts, board papers, customer-facing copy.
- Public sector, social care, education, housing and registry work.
Certified Catalan document translation in Glasgow
For UK official use (UKVI applications, court bundles, university admissions, registry office work), we provide certified Catalan translation as standard: the translation 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 where a specific recipient requires them; tell us at quote stage.
Face-to-face, telephone and video interpreting in Glasgow
For appointments in Glasgow (a hospital outpatient, a solicitor conference, a contested hearing, a customer meeting), we send a Catalan interpreter in person where it matters. For short or urgent conversations, telephone Catalan interpreting connects in minutes. Video sits between the two: useful when parties are in different places but eye contact still matters.
See the face-to-face interpreting page for how we run an in-person booking, or the Catalan interpreter in Glasgow page for what we cover locally.
Court work and HMCTS
We supply Catalan interpreters with court experience for HMCTS hearings, tribunals and legal consultations in Glasgow. We match each court booking to a linguist whose credentials and vetting fit the setting; happy to send a CV before an appointment if it helps with your prep.
How to book or hire a Catalan translator or interpreter in Glasgow
Send the date, the venue and the type of appointment (or the document and how it will be used). You get a price and a delivery date back, normally within an hour during UK office hours. Once confirmed, the linguist works the assignment; we invoice on the schedule that suits your accounts team.

About the Catalan language
Catalan is a Romance language spoken by an estimated nine to ten million people. It is co-official in the Spanish regions of Catalonia, Valencia, where it is officially called Valencian, and the Balearic Islands, and it is the sole official language of Andorra. Smaller communities speak it in the Roussillon area of southern France and in the city of Alghero on Sardinia. Catalan developed from Latin alongside its neighbours but is a distinct language, not a dialect of Spanish; in some respects its vocabulary sits closer to Occitan and French. It is written in the Latin alphabet and has a continuous literary record stretching back to the Middle Ages. Catalan-language schooling, publishing and broadcasting are well established, particularly in Catalonia.
About Glasgow
Glasgow is Scotland's largest city and a major centre for healthcare, law, education and business, which creates constant demand for translation and interpreting across its diverse communities. Prism Linguistics provides professional translation and interpreting in Glasgow for the public sector, legal firms, universities and private businesses. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is the largest health board in the UK, running hospitals and clinics where multilingual patients regularly need a face-to-face or telephone interpreter for appointments, maternity care and mental-health assessments. Glasgow Sheriff Court at Carlton Place, one of the busiest courts in Europe, hears both criminal and civil cases, and solicitors instruct us for court-experienced interpreters and certified translations of evidence and identity documents. The University of Glasgow and the University of Strathclyde draw international students and staff who need certified translations of degree certificates and transcripts. We provide certified document translation, face-to-face interpreting, and video and telephone interpreting across the city and the wider Strathclyde area, from the G postcodes in the centre to Paisley, Clydebank and East Kilbride. Each job is handled by a qualified native-speaker linguist and reviewed by a second linguist, so certified documents and interpreting appointments meet UK professional and confidentiality standards, including work funded through Scottish legal aid.

Translators only translate into their first language. Every job is reviewed by a second Catalan linguist before delivery: names, dates and formatting checked against the original.
