- Translation in Burnaby
Kapingamarangi interpreting and translation for IRCC, medical and settlement matters, arranged mainly by phone and video; it is a Polynesian outlier language of the Federated States of Micronesia, whose official records are issued in English.
Certified Kapingamarangi to English Translation in Burnaby
Certified Kapingamarangi to English translation of the document that is not already in English, such as a handwritten church or community record, rendered faithfully with nothing added.
Kapingamarangi is a Polynesian outlier language spoken on Kapingamarangi atoll and the associated community on Pohnpei, in the Federated States of Micronesia. It is written in the Latin alphabet, and written documentation in the language is limited, so most Kapingamarangi requests concern spoken interpreting.
The Federated States of Micronesia use English for official records, so a Kapingamarangi speaker's birth, marriage or death certificate is normally already in English and does not need translating for use in Canada. Where a translation is ever needed it tends to be for a handwritten community or church record, and we render it faithfully and add nothing. Output is issued by a certified translator or supported by a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
Every certified Kapingamarangi 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 Burnaby gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

Kapingamarangi Translation Services in Burnaby
Certified Kapingamarangi translation in Burnaby usually concerns a handwritten community or church paper, since Micronesian civil records are issued in English, and we render it faithfully with nothing added.
Burnaby lies immediately east of Vancouver and is British Columbia's third largest city, home to major shopping, film production and technology employers around Metrotown and the Brentwood and Lougheed town centres. It is highly multilingual: English is the mother tongue of about 41 per cent of residents, while more than half report another first language, and the Chinese community, including Mandarin and Cantonese speakers, is the single largest group, alongside Korean, Tagalog and Punjabi speakers.
Simon Fraser University sits atop Burnaby Mountain and the British Columbia Institute of Technology is also based here, drawing international students and faculty. Burnaby Hospital operates under the Fraser Health authority, and the Provincial Court of British Columbia and the Supreme Court of British Columbia serve the area. Together these institutions, along with settlement agencies and local businesses, generate ongoing demand for translation and interpreting in the community's many languages.
Kapingamarangi Interpreters in Burnaby
Kapingamarangi interpreting for Burnaby is usually delivered by phone or video, and we confirm the speaker's preferred language and the session requirements before assigning a Kapingamarangi interpreter.
Kapingamarangi is distinct from the Micronesian languages around it and is closer to Polynesian languages such as Nukuoro and those of Samoa and Tuvalu, though not mutually intelligible with them. Before the appointment we confirm the client's preferred language and the interpreting requirements, so a Kapingamarangi interpreter is assigned rather than a speaker of a neighbouring language.
Kapingamarangi interpreting is usually arranged by phone or video, for an IRCC interview, a medical appointment under PHIPA and PIPEDA or a settlement matter. In-person attendance in Burnaby depends on an interpreter being within reach, so tell us the date and we confirm availability.
For an in-person assignment in Burnaby we assign a Kapingamarangi interpreter based in or near the city. Telephone and video interpreting can usually be arranged the same day. Courts, law firms, hospitals, IRCC applicants and private clients book us directly. See Kapingamarangi interpreter in Burnaby for the full interpreting service.

About the Kapingamarangi Language
Kapingamarangi is a Polynesian language spoken by around 3,000 people on Kapingamarangi atoll in the Federated States of Micronesia, plus a few hundred speakers in the Pohnpei community. It's a Polynesian outlier - an island of Polynesian language in the broader Micronesian-language region. Our Kapingamarangi work is mainly interpreting, arranged through our national interpreter network, since official records from the Federated States of Micronesia are issued in English.

Kapingamarangi Translation Services in Burnaby: FAQs
My records are in English. Do I need a Kapingamarangi translation?
Almost certainly not. The Federated States of Micronesia use English for official records, so certificates are generally in English already.
Can you arrange a Kapingamarangi interpreter?
Tell us the date, the setting and the speaker's preferred language and we confirm availability. Kapingamarangi interpreting is usually arranged by phone or video.
Is Kapingamarangi the same as Pohnpeian?
No. Kapingamarangi is a Polynesian language and Pohnpeian is a Micronesian one, and they are not mutually intelligible, so we confirm the speaker's language at booking and assign a Kapingamarangi interpreter.
