Tama translation and interpreting in Cardiff for UK courts, the NHS, the Home Office, solicitors, councils, businesses and individuals. Native Tama linguists, certified document translation, face-to-face interpreters in and around Cardiff, and remote cover by phone and video.
What our Tama translators and interpreters cover for Cardiff clients
Most Cardiff 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 Cardiff.
- Healthcare: patient letters, clinical notes, consent forms for Cardiff hospitals and clinics.
- Police and criminal: interviews, statements and disclosure material for Cardiff police, probation and CPS work.
- Business: supplier contracts, board papers, customer-facing copy.
- Public sector, social care, education, housing and registry work.
Certified Tama document translation in Cardiff
For UK official use (UKVI applications, court bundles, university admissions, registry office work), we provide certified Tama 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 Cardiff
For appointments in Cardiff (a hospital outpatient, a solicitor conference, a contested hearing, a customer meeting), we send a Tama interpreter in person where it matters. For short or urgent conversations, telephone Tama 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 Tama interpreter in Cardiff page for what we cover locally.
Court work and HMCTS
We supply Tama interpreters with court experience for HMCTS hearings, tribunals and legal consultations in Cardiff. 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 Tama translator or interpreter in Cardiff
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 Tama language
Tama is a Nilo-Saharan language of the Eastern Sudanic branch, spoken in the Ouaddai region of eastern Chad and across the border in Darfur in western Sudan. It has essentially no settled community in Britain, and requests are rare and closely tied to the conflicts in Darfur and Chad. When Tama does come up, our work is limited to asylum and immigration documentation for the Home Office and the immigration and asylum tribunals, together with the occasional identity or civil document and academic records evaluated by UK ENIC where a qualification needs recognising. Tama has around 460,000 speakers across Chad and Sudan.
About Cardiff
Cardiff is the capital of Wales and its main centre for government, healthcare, law and education, which keeps demand for translation and interpreting high across the public and private sectors. Prism Linguistics provides professional translation and interpreting in Cardiff for legal firms, healthcare providers, universities, local authorities and businesses. Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, whose headquarters is the University Hospital of Wales, runs hospitals and clinics across the city where patients regularly need a face-to-face or telephone interpreter for appointments, maternity care and mental-health support. Cardiff's Crown and magistrates' courts hear criminal and civil work, and solicitors instruct us for court-experienced interpreters and certified translations of evidence, statements and identity documents, including matters funded by the Legal Aid Agency. Cardiff University and the city's other institutions bring international students and staff who need certified translations of degree certificates and transcripts for admission and UK ENIC recognition. We handle certified document translation, face-to-face interpreting, and video and telephone interpreting across the city and the wider region, from the CF postcodes in the centre out to Penarth, Barry and Caerphilly. Every job is completed by a qualified native-speaker linguist and checked by a second linguist, so certified documents and interpreting appointments meet UK professional and confidentiality standards. Welsh-language work is available where a document or appointment calls for it.

Why Choose Us
Translations that actually get accepted
Most of our work is for UK bodies that have to accept the translation as part of a process: courts, the Home Office, the NHS, universities, councils. We format and certify so the receiving body doesn't send it back.
Native Tama linguists, second-linguist review
Translators only translate into their first language. Every job is reviewed by a second Tama linguist before delivery: names, dates and formatting checked against the original.
Responsive in UK working hours
Quotes back within an hour in UK office hours. For on-demand telephone interpreting we cover out-of-hours too; call the main number and you'll get connected.
