Tahitian, or Reo Tahiti, work is largely French-led, since French Polynesia issues its records in French; requests are occasional and the community in Canada is small, served on site where possible and otherwise by phone and video.
Tahitian Interpreters in Nanaimo
Our Tahitian interpreting is occasional, covering interviews, hearings and appointments in Nanaimo, and we say plainly where French is the practical language rather than arrange an interpreter no one needs.
Spoken interpreting in Tahitian is asked for occasionally, mainly for an older speaker or as a matter of comfort, since French is widely used in official settings. Where French is the practical language of an appointment we say so plainly rather than arrange an interpreter no one needs.
Where a Tahitian interpreter is genuinely wanted we cover IRCC interviews, hearings and medical appointments, in person in Nanaimo where an interpreter is within reach, and otherwise by phone or video given the small community in Canada.
For an in-person assignment in Nanaimo we assign a Tahitian interpreter based in or near the city. Telephone and video interpreting can usually be arranged the same day. We serve courts, lawyers, hospitals, IRCC applicants and private individuals; we are a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor, and we say so up front.

Nanaimo is the largest city on Vancouver Island's east coast and a main ferry and floatplane gateway between the mainland and the island, with an economy built on shipping, forestry, tourism, health care and education. English is the first language of the large majority of residents, but the Harbour City is becoming more diverse, with a growing number of residents whose mother tongue is not English, including Punjabi, Tagalog, Chinese and Korean speakers settling in the region.
Vancouver Island University is based in Nanaimo, and Nanaimo Regional General Hospital operates under the Island Health authority. The Supreme Court of British Columbia and the Provincial Court of British Columbia both sit in Nanaimo and require interpreters for people who speak little English. Settlement agencies, clinics, courts and local businesses rely on professional translation and interpreting to support residents and immigrants arriving through IRCC.

Tahitian to English Translation Services in Nanaimo
We provide certified translation of the French civil records a French Polynesian file needs, and of any document genuinely written in Tahitian, by a certified translator or with a sworn affidavit, with an attached apostille translated too.
Tahitian is a Polynesian language of French Polynesia, written in the Latin alphabet with macrons over long vowels and an apostrophe for the glottal stop, the 'eta. French Polynesia is French territory and issues civil records in French, so a Tahitian speaker's birth, marriage or death certificate and court or administrative papers are normally in French, and a translation runs from the French text.
Where a personal statement, church record or heritage document genuinely exists in Tahitian we translate it into English, rendering the macrons and glottal stop carefully and matching names as printed. French Polynesia issues documents under French arrangements including the apostille, which we translate when attached. A translation should come from a certified translator or carry a sworn affidavit; Prism is a private agency, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
Every certified Tahitian 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 Nanaimo gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada. See certified Tahitian translation for the document service in full.

About the Tahitian Language
Tahitian (Reo Tahiti) is the indigenous language of Tahiti and French Polynesia, with around 70,000 speakers -- co-official alongside French in French Polynesia. There is no notable Tahitian-speaking community in Canada, and speakers are served through our national interpreter network. Translation requests are very rare; most French Polynesian civil documents are in French and routed accordingly.
