Monégasque, the Ligurian speech of Monaco, almost never appears on documents, because Monaco issues its records in French. Prism Linguistics handles Monaco files across Canada as French document translation, and arranges Monégasque interpreting on request once the speaker's language is confirmed.
Monégasque is a Ligurian variety with its own vocabulary and pronunciation, so it is not covered by a French or Italian interpreter. When a booking comes in we confirm the client's preferred language and what the appointment involves, and assign a Monégasque interpreter accordingly.
We arrange Monégasque interpreting for IRCC interviews, hearings and appointments, on site in the larger centres or by telephone and video anywhere in Canada, and confirm availability against the date and setting.
Common settings include legal and court interpreting, medical and hospital interpreting, IRCC and Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) interviews, and police and enforcement work. See all on-site interpreting options or start a free quote.
Monégasque is a Ligurian Romance variety historically spoken in Monaco, written in the Latin alphabet and today taught as a heritage language rather than used for official paperwork. Monaco's administrative language is French, so birth, marriage and death certificates, family records and court papers from the principality are issued in French, and a translation runs from the French text.
Where a heritage or personal document genuinely exists in Monégasque we translate it into English, but in practice a Monaco file means French civil records, which we translate as printed and report with the issuing office. Output comes from a certified translator or a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths. Acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
For documents rather than spoken interpreting, see certified Monegasque translation, our full Monegasque translation services, or general document translation. Every translation moves through our TEP workflow — translation, editing and proofreading by separate linguists — with free revisions.

Monegasque (Monegasque) is the historical local language of Monaco, an Italian-Romance variety closely related to Ligurian (the language of nearby Genoa). It's spoken by only a few thousand people today, and French is Monaco's language of administration. Monaco's civil documents are issued in French and are translated from that text; Monegasque interpreting is arranged once we confirm the speaker's language.
We can translate anything genuinely written in Monégasque, but Monaco issues its civil records in French, so a Monaco file almost always means French translation. Send us a scan and we will tell you which applies.
Where the speaker uses Monégasque we arrange a Monégasque interpreter, on site or by telephone and video. Give us the date and setting and we confirm the language and availability.
We provide a certified translation, or a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths, prepared in the expected format. Acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
