Navajo translation and Navajo interpreting in Burnaby and across Canada, for heritage, academic, legal and family matters, arranged remotely.
Certified Navajo to English Translation in Burnaby
We handle Navajo as a specialist translation, most often of a passage, transcript, inscription or piece of historical material, rather than birth or marriage certificates, which are not issued in Navajo. Any official use depends entirely on the receiving institution, so we confirm the purpose first.
Navajo, or Diné bizaad, is an Athabaskan language of the southwestern United States, spoken across the Navajo Nation in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. It is written in a Latin-based orthography that uses accents and a raised mark to show high tone and nasal vowels, and it is a famously complex verb-based language, so it needs a translator who actually knows Navajo rather than one working from a dictionary.
Navajo is not a language of civil records in Canada or the United States, so requests are usually academic, genealogical or cultural, such as rendering a passage, a recording transcript, an inscription or historical material. Where a request arises we treat it as a specialist translation and confirm the source and purpose first, since acceptance for any official use depends entirely on the receiving institution.
Every certified Navajo 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 Burnaby gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada. See certified Navajo translation for the document service in full.
About the Navajo Language
Navajo (Dine Bizaad) is a Southern Athabaskan language and the most-spoken Native American language north of Mexico, with around 170,000 speakers concentrated in the Navajo Nation - the largest indigenous reservation in the United States, covering parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. Navajo gained national attention as the basis for the World War II Navajo code-talkers program. Our Navajo translation work is typically cultural, educational, or tied to tribal-government documents.

Burnaby lies immediately east of Vancouver and is British Columbia's third largest city, home to major shopping, film production and technology employers around Metrotown and the Brentwood and Lougheed town centres. It is highly multilingual: English is the mother tongue of about 41 per cent of residents, while more than half report another first language, and the Chinese community, including Mandarin and Cantonese speakers, is the single largest group, alongside Korean, Tagalog and Punjabi speakers.
Simon Fraser University sits atop Burnaby Mountain and the British Columbia Institute of Technology is also based here, drawing international students and faculty. Burnaby Hospital operates under the Fraser Health authority, and the Provincial Court of British Columbia and the Supreme Court of British Columbia serve the area. Together these institutions, along with settlement agencies and local businesses, generate ongoing demand for translation and interpreting in the community's many languages.
