Romani interpreting and certified translation in Vancouver and across Canada, mostly interpreting-led and often tied to refugee claims at the IRB, with the country of origin confirmed for each record.
Romani Translation Services in Vancouver
Romani-community translators in Vancouver working from the country-of-origin language of each record, since Roma civil documents are issued in Romanian, Serbian, Slovak, Hungarian or another language rather than in Romani. We confirm the origin of each record first.
Vancouver is the largest city in British Columbia and Canada's principal Pacific gateway, with major film, technology, port and tourism sectors. Its population is among the most linguistically diverse in North America, with large Cantonese, Mandarin, Punjabi and Tagalog speaking communities alongside newer arrivals from across Asia and the Middle East. This diversity, combined with steady immigration through IRCC programs, creates ongoing demand for translation and interpreting across everyday life.
The University of British Columbia and Vancouver General Hospital anchor education and health care in the city, while Vancouver Coastal Health serves the wider region. The Supreme Court of British Columbia and the Provincial Court of British Columbia both sit in Vancouver and regularly require interpreters for parties who speak little English. Settlement agencies, clinics, law offices and businesses all rely on professional translation to serve residents in their first languages.
Certified Romani to English Translation in Vancouver
Certified translation into English of the birth, marriage and identity certificates, school records and refugee or statelessness papers on a Romani file, each rendered from the language it was issued in, with a certified translator or a sworn affidavit.
Romani is the language of the Roma, spoken across Europe in many dialects with no single official spelling. There is rarely an official document in Romani itself, because civil records are issued in the language of the country a person lived in, such as Romanian, Serbian, Slovak, Hungarian or Czech.
So translation usually runs from that country's language into English, and we ask which country issued each record before starting. We translate birth, marriage and identity certificates, school records and the supporting papers for a refugee or statelessness claim, with a certified translator or a sworn affidavit of accuracy, and names matched to your passport.
Acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution, so where a person holds records from more than one country we translate each in the language it was issued in and note its origin.
Every certified Romani 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 Vancouver gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada. See certified Romani translation for the document service in full.
Romani Interpreters in Vancouver
Romani interpreters in Vancouver matched by dialect and country, with the interpreting requirements confirmed before the appointment.
Dialect matching matters a great deal for Romani. The Vlax group, including Kalderash and Lovari, the Balkan, Carpathian and Sinti varieties all differ, and a speaker often follows an interpreter from the same group and country more comfortably, so we ask about both at booking.
We confirm the client's preferred language, dialect group and interpreting requirements before the appointment so the appropriate Romani interpreter is assigned. Our Romani interpreters work in IRB refugee hearings and IRCC interviews, Canadian court settings, hospital and clinic appointments under PHIPA and PIPEDA, and school and settlement meetings, on site in Vancouver and by phone or video across Canada.
For an in-person assignment in Vancouver we assign a Romani interpreter based in or near the city. Telephone and video interpreting can usually be arranged the same day. Courts, law firms, hospitals, IRCC applicants and private clients book us directly. See Romani interpreter in Vancouver for the full interpreting service.
About the Romani Language
Romani is the language of the Roma people, with around 4 million speakers distributed across Europe - particularly in Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Serbia, and Spain - plus diaspora communities in Canada. It's an Indo-Aryan language descended from ancestral languages of northern India, brought west during medieval Roma migration. Our Romani translation work is occasional and typically tied to IRB refugee hearings, cultural, or community-association documents.

Does the Romani dialect matter for an interpreter?
Yes. Vlax, Balkan, Carpathian and Sinti varieties differ, so we ask about the speaker's group and home country to match an interpreter they follow comfortably.
