Certified translation and interpreting for people from Kosovo in Winnipeg 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 Winnipeg 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, with Serbian records handled on the same basis.
Certified translation for people from Kosovo in Winnipeg 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.
Winnipeg is Manitoba's capital and largest city, with an economy spanning manufacturing, transportation, finance and agriculture on Treaty 1 territory. It has one of Canada's largest Filipino communities, and Tagalog is the leading non-official mother tongue, followed by Punjabi, alongside Indigenous languages such as Ojibwe and Cree spoken by the region's First Nations and Metis populations.
This diversity drives steady demand for translation and interpreting. The Court of King's Bench of Manitoba and the Provincial Court of Manitoba both sit in Winnipeg, and the Health Sciences Centre serves patients in many languages. The University of Manitoba, settlement agencies assisting IRCC newcomers, and employers across health care, manufacturing and public services regularly require documents and conversations accurately bridged between languages.
Our interpreters for people from Kosovo cover IRB hearings, IRCC interviews, legal aid and medical appointments in Winnipeg, placed as Gheg Albanian or Serbian once we confirm the speaker's language.
For speech, most people from Kosovo are matched with a Gheg Albanian interpreter, though a Serbian speaker from Kosovo is matched with Serbian instead. Tell us the speaker's language at intake so we place the right one.
We arrange interpreters for IRB refugee protection hearings, IRCC interviews, legal aid, and hospital and clinic appointments, on site in Winnipeg or by phone and video across Canada.

No; Kosovo's languages are Albanian, usually the Gheg variety, and Serbian. We translate and interpret whichever applies to you.
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.
