Hindustani interpreting and certified translation in London and across Canada, where the spoken language is one thing and the document is almost always written as Hindi or Urdu.
Hindustani Translators in London
Certified Hindustani-related translation in London is delivered as Hindi or Urdu translation, since documents are written in one of those scripts, covering certificates, transcripts and police clearances for IRCC and legal use.
London, in southwestern Ontario, is a designated refugee-receiving community and a growing immigrant destination. English is the mother tongue of most residents, but after English the leading non-official languages are Arabic and Spanish, followed by Mandarin, Portuguese, Polish, Korean, Punjabi and Malayalam. Resettlement of Arabic-speaking refugees and steady international migration have broadened the city's language mix.
This drives demand for translation and interpreting in healthcare, education, legal and settlement services. Newcomers preparing IRCC and citizenship applications need certified document translation, while the London Health Sciences Centre relies on interpreters for patient care. Western University and Fanshawe College attract international students requiring language support. Civil and family cases are heard at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, criminal matters at the Ontario Court of Justice, and minor disputes at Small Claims Court. Agencies such as the Cross Cultural Learner Centre help newcomers settle.
Hindustani to English Translation Services in London
Certified English translation of the Hindi or Urdu records a Hindustani speaker holds, such as birth, marriage and divorce certificates, transcripts and police clearance certificates, with names kept consistent across scripts.
Hindustani is the common spoken language of northern India and Pakistan, the everyday register behind two written standards: Hindi, written in the Devanagari script, and Urdu, written in a Perso-Arabic script that reads right to left. There is no separate official written form called Hindustani, so a document a speaker brings will be in Hindi or in Urdu, and we translate from the script the record actually uses.
We handle birth, marriage, death and divorce certificates, educational transcripts, police clearance certificates and court papers for IRCC applications, credential assessments and legal matters. Overseas Hindustani communities in the Caribbean and Fiji, whose speech is often called Sarnami or Fiji Hindi, usually hold English civil records, so their translation needs are frequently lighter and more about interpreting. Output is issued by a certified translator or supported by a sworn affidavit, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
Every certified Hindustani translation is a complete, word-for-word rendering with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, prepared to meet IRCC requirements. It is done from a clear scan, so a client in London gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

Hindustani Interpreters in London
Our Hindustani interpreters cover IRB hearings, IRCC interviews, court and medical settings in London, matched to a Hindi, Urdu or diaspora variety such as Fiji Hindi or Sarnami.
Spoken Hindustani is broadly shared by Hindi and Urdu speakers, but register and vocabulary shift with background: a Delhi speaker, a Lucknow Urdu speaker and a Fiji Hindi or Caribbean Sarnami speaker will not phrase things identically. At booking we confirm the speaker's origin and whether they identify their speech as Hindi, Urdu or a diaspora variety, so an interpreter matches the level and idiom.
Our interpreters attend IRB refugee hearings, IRCC interviews, Canadian court and legal-aid matters, and hospital and clinic appointments under PHIPA and PIPEDA. Because Hindi and Urdu speakers understand each other in speech, one interpreter can often cover both, and we attend on site in London or join by phone and video across Canada.
For an in-person assignment in London we assign a Hindustani interpreter based in or near the city. Telephone and video interpreting can usually be arranged the same day. We serve courts, lawyers, hospitals, IRCC applicants and private individuals; we are a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor, and we say so up front.
About the Hindustani Language
Hindustani is the historical and linguistic name for what is now usually called either Hindi or Urdu - two standardized forms of essentially the same spoken language, distinguished primarily by their writing systems and registers (Hindi uses Devanagari and draws on Sanskrit; Urdu uses Perso-Arabic Nastaliq and draws on Persian and Arabic). Around 500 million people speak some form of Hindustani as a first or second language. For Canadian translation work, "Hindustani" requests are usually resolved to either Hindi or Urdu based on the source document's script - see those pages.

Hindustani Translation in London: FAQs
Is my document Hindustani, or Hindi or Urdu?
In writing it will be Hindi in Devanagari or Urdu in Perso-Arabic script. Hindustani is the shared spoken language, so we translate from whichever script your record uses.
Can one interpreter cover both Hindi and Urdu speakers?
Often yes, because the spoken language is largely shared. We still confirm the speaker's background so the register and vocabulary match.
My records are from Fiji or the Caribbean and already in English. What do I need?
Those communities usually hold English civil records, so the need is often interpreting rather than translation. We arrange a speaker of the diaspora variety where possible.
Do you have an office in London?
Hindustani translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in London we assign a Hindustani interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in Canada.
