Wolof is the main language of Senegal and is widely spoken in The Gambia and Mauritania, working as a lingua franca well beyond its native speakers. Wolof speakers in Britain form part of the Senegalese and Gambian community, itself part of the wider West African population centred on London. Our Wolof work is mostly civil documents, birth and marriage certificates for Home Office and UKVI immigration, settlement and citizenship cases, court and asylum-tribunal papers, and academic transcripts assessed by UK ENIC, with interpreting in NHS and legal settings where it fits. French usually appears alongside Wolof on official Senegalese paperwork. Wolof has over five million native speakers, and many millions more use it as a second language.
Prism Linguistics provides Wolof translation, interpreting and transcription across the UK in 300+ languages. Whether you need a certified document for the Home Office, a court interpreter, an NHS appointment or a business meeting, our vetted native-speaker linguists are ready to help.
