Certified translation and interpreting for people from Kosovo in Fredericton and across Canada, matched to Albanian or Serbian as the document and speaker require.
We provide certified translation into English of the Albanian or Serbian records a family from Kosovo holds, such as birth, marriage and death certificates, with a sworn affidavit where a record is handwritten or a name varies.
There is no separate "Kosovan" language. Kosovo's official languages are Albanian and Serbian, and most people from Kosovo speak the Gheg variety of Albanian, written in the Latin alphabet. Kosovo issues civil records in Albanian, and some older or minority records in Serbian, which uses both Cyrillic and Latin, so a birth, marriage or death certificate is translated from whichever of those the document is actually in.
Tell us which language your documents are in, because an Albanian certificate and a Serbian one are handled differently, and a family may hold both from different periods. Where a record is handwritten or a name is spelled several ways, a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths can set out how a name or date was established, and we keep spellings consistent with the passport. Output is issued by a certified translator or supported by affidavit, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution such as IRCC, the IRB or a provincial registry.
Every certified Kosovan 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 Fredericton gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada. See certified Kosovan translation for the document service in full.
"Kosovan" is sometimes used to refer to the language of Kosovo, but in fact Kosovo has two official languages: Albanian (the majority) and Serbian (used by the country's Serbian minority). Kosovan translation requests are therefore usually resolved to either Albanian or Serbian depending on the source document - see our Albanian and Serbian pages for details. Most Canadian Kosovan translation work is Albanian, tied to the refugees Canada resettled during the 1998-99 Kosovo War and the migration that followed.
Certified translation for people from Kosovo in Fredericton renders an Albanian or Serbian civil record into English, since Kosovo issues records in both; we confirm which language a certificate is in and keep the name consistent with the passport.
Fredericton is the capital of New Brunswick, Canada's only officially bilingual province, and home to the University of New Brunswick, founded in 1785, which draws students from more than 100 countries. The city has set an ambitious immigration target of roughly 1,000 newcomers a year, steadily diversifying a population of around 72,000.
As a seat of provincial government, English-French translation is a constant need, and rising immigration adds demand for many other languages. Newcomers require document translation for IRCC applications, credential recognition, healthcare through the Horizon Health Network, and education. Certified and legal translations are frequently required for the Court of King's Bench of New Brunswick and the Provincial Court, as well as for licensing and settlement services supporting the city's growing international community.

We translate it from Albanian to English as a certified translation. If a record is in Serbian, we handle that too. Acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
