Certified translation and interpreting for people from Kosovo in Kingston and across Canada, matched to Albanian or Serbian as the document and speaker require.
Certified Kosovan to English Translation in Kingston
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 Kingston 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.
About the Kosovan Language
"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, with Serbian records handled on the same basis.
Kosovan Translator in Kingston
Certified translation for people from Kosovo in Kingston 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.
Kingston is a historic city on the shore of Lake Ontario, home to Queen's University, the Royal Military College and St. Lawrence College, along with a large public sector. Since 2015 the city has welcomed hundreds of refugees, supported by organisations such as Immigrant Services Kingston and Area, part of Kingston Community Health Centres, and the employment agency KEYS. Newcomers arrive speaking a wide range of languages, including Arabic, Kurdish and Kirundi.
Kingston Health Sciences Centre arranges interpretation for patient appointments, and local settlement services offer spoken-language interpreting in more than sixty languages. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice and the Ontario Court of Justice, including Small Claims Court, serve the area. Universities, hospitals, correctional facilities and courts together generate consistent demand for accurate translation and interpreting to help residents access services in a language they understand.
