Prism Linguistics arranges Faroese translation and Faroese interpreting across Canada. Faroese is a North Germanic language of the Faroe Islands, a self-governing part of the Kingdom of Denmark, written in the Latin alphabet with letters such as eth and accented vowels. Translation is handled remotely, and Faroese interpreting is arranged by telephone or video and on site where an interpreter is available.
Spoken Faroese interpreting is arranged for immigration, medical and legal matters. Faroese is distinct from Danish and Icelandic despite the shared history, so we assign an interpreter who works in Faroese itself rather than a speaker of a neighbouring Nordic language.
Before the appointment we confirm the client's preferred language, the setting and the interpreting requirements, then assign the Faroese interpreter, most often by telephone or video and in person where one is available. Tell us the date and we confirm availability.
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.
Faroese civil documents are often issued in Faroese alongside Danish, and Danish is used for many official records, so translation may be limited to the Faroese-only entries, headings or stamps rather than a whole certificate. We translate birth, marriage and death certificates, church records and personal papers into English or French as required.
Each translation is prepared with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, or a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths where a receiving body asks. Acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution, such as IRCC, a provincial registry or a Canadian court.
For documents rather than spoken interpreting, see certified Faroese translation, our full Faroese translation services, or general document translation. Every translation moves through our TEP workflow — translation, editing and proofreading by separate linguists — with free revisions.

Faroese is the national language of the Faroe Islands - an autonomous archipelago within the Kingdom of Denmark - with around 75,000 native speakers. It's a North Germanic language descended from Old Norse, more conservative than Norwegian or Icelandic in some grammatical features but readable to other Scandinavians with effort. Faroese translation requests are typically tied to Faroese civil documents for family matters or genealogy research, and Faroese interpreting is arranged through our national interpreter network.
