Kiunguja is the Zanzibar dialect of Swahili and the basis of the standard language, so this is effectively Swahili work: certified Swahili translation and interpreting for IRCC, IRB and medical matters in Regina and across Canada.
We provide certified Swahili to English translation of Tanzanian and Zanzibari records, setting out dates and the Swahili naming order, and translating the Arabic phrasing that appears in Zanzibari Islamic documents.
Kiunguja, sometimes written Kiunguju, is the Swahili of Zanzibar town, and it is the variety on which Standard Swahili was built, so in practice a Kiunguja request is a Swahili request. Swahili is written in the Latin alphabet today, though older Zanzibari texts used an Arabic-based script. Tanzania uses Swahili as its language of government and issues many birth, marriage and school records in Swahili, while Kenya issues records in English, so what needs translating depends on which country a document comes from.
For Tanzanian and Zanzibari applicants we translate Swahili civil records, affidavits and school certificates into English, setting out dates and the Swahili naming order plainly. Islamic marriage and divorce records from Zanzibar may carry Arabic phrasing alongside the Swahili, and we translate both rather than leave a clause unrendered.
Translations are issued as a certified translation by a qualified translator, or as a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths. Acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution, such as IRCC, the IRB or a provincial registry.
Every certified Kiunguju 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 Regina gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada. See certified Kiunguju translation for the document service in full.
Certified Kiunguja translators in Regina handle Swahili civil records, since Kiunguja is the Zanzibar dialect that Standard Swahili is built on. We translate Tanzanian and Zanzibari birth, marriage and school records, including Arabic phrasing in Islamic marriage records.
Regina is Saskatchewan's capital, a centre for government, agriculture, energy and finance on Treaty 4 territory and in the homeland of the Metis. Immigration has reshaped the city, with newcomers making up a large share of recent growth. Tagalog and Punjabi are the most common non-official mother tongues, followed by Arabic, Hindi and Spanish, while Cree, Michif and other Indigenous languages remain part of the region.
This diversity creates steady demand for translation and interpreting. The Court of King's Bench for Saskatchewan and the Provincial Court of Saskatchewan both sit in Regina, and the Regina General Hospital under the Saskatchewan Health Authority treats patients across many languages. The University of Regina, the Regina Open Door Society and other settlement agencies serving IRCC newcomers, and employers in government, agriculture and energy regularly need accurate translation and interpreting.
Our Swahili interpreters, including Zanzibar-variety speakers, cover IRB hearings, IRCC interviews and settlement appointments in Regina, with the speaker's variety and interpreting requirements confirmed at booking.
We arrange Kiunguja interpreters, Swahili speakers of the Zanzibar variety, for IRB refugee hearings, IRCC interviews, and hospital and settlement appointments. Kiunguja is the base of Standard Swahili, but coastal Zanzibari usage has its own vocabulary and Arabic-derived turns of phrase, so we confirm where the speaker is from and match the variety accordingly.
Interpreting is available in Regina on site, and by phone or video across Canada. Tell us at intake which language and variety the speaker uses, and we confirm the interpreting requirements so the right Kiunguja or Swahili interpreter is assigned rather than assumed.

Kiunguju is the variety of Swahili spoken in and around Zanzibar - historically the "purest" form of the language, since the Zanzibar archipelago was a centre of Swahili literature and trade for centuries. It serves as the basis for Standard Swahili (Kiswahili Sanifu). Our Kiunguju translation work overlaps with broader Swahili - Tanzanian and Zanzibari civil documents are usually in Standard Swahili, with Kiunguju being a regional spoken variety.
