- Translation in Abbotsford
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.
Certified Tahitian to English Translation in Abbotsford
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, 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 Abbotsford gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

Abbotsford is the largest city in the Fraser Valley and the centre of one of British Columbia's most productive agricultural regions, with farming, food processing, manufacturing and aerospace among its key industries. It has a long-established and sizeable Punjabi Sikh community tied to generations of farming in the valley: Punjabi is the mother tongue of about 22.6 per cent of residents, and some of the province's oldest gurdwaras are located here.
The University of the Fraser Valley, which hosts a Centre for Indo-Canadian Studies, anchors post-secondary education, while Abbotsford Regional Hospital operates under the Fraser Health authority. The Provincial Court of British Columbia and the Supreme Court of British Columbia hear matters from the region and often require interpreters. Settlement agencies, clinics, farms and legal offices all rely on professional translation to serve residents and newcomers in Punjabi and other languages.

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.
