Prism Linguistics arranges professional Bubi interpreters and certified Bubi-related translation across Canada. The work is mostly interpreting-led, and the written side usually runs from Spanish because Equatorial Guinea issues its records in Spanish. Sessions are handled by telephone or video anywhere in Canada and in person where a Bubi interpreter can be scheduled.
Bubi (Bohobe) is a Bantu language of the Bubi people of Bioko Island in Equatorial Guinea, and it is mainly a spoken home language. The most helpful step at booking is to tell us the setting and the date; we then confirm the client's preferred language and the interpreting requirements so the right Bubi interpreter is assigned, without assuming Spanish from the paperwork.
Bubi interpreters are called for at medical, legal and settlement appointments and IRCC interviews. Interpreting is generally arranged by telephone or video, with in-person attendance in the larger centres where a suitable Bubi interpreter is nearby.
Common settings include legal and court interpreting, medical and hospital interpreting, IRCC and Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) interviews, and police and enforcement work. See all on-site interpreting options or start a free quote.
Bubi is written in the Latin alphabet where it is written at all, but it rarely appears on a certificate, so there is seldom a Bubi-language text to translate. Equatorial Guinea issues birth, marriage, death and school records in Spanish, its main official language, so a Bubi family's paperwork is normally translated from Spanish into English as a certified translation.
We put into English only what the Spanish source states, hold each name to one spelling across the file, and leave nothing added where a record is partial. A translation can come from a certified translator or be supported by a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution such as IRCC or a provincial registry.
For documents rather than spoken interpreting, see certified Bubi translation, our full Bubi translation services, or general document translation. Every translation moves through our TEP workflow — translation, editing and proofreading by separate linguists — with free revisions.

Bubi is a Bantu language spoken by around 50,000 people on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea, where it is the language of the indigenous Bubi people. Spanish is Equatorial Guinea's main administrative language, so civil documents from Bioko Island are usually issued in Spanish and translated from Spanish, while Bubi itself is mainly a spoken language and is most often needed for interpreting.
Equatorial Guinea issues civil records in Spanish, so we translate them from Spanish into English as a certified translation. The Bubi part of a file is usually the interpreting.
