- Translation in Coquitlam
Tobian is a Micronesian language of Palau; Tobian translation and interpreting in Coquitlam and across Canada is arranged remotely, with Palau's English-language records handled alongside.
Certified Tobi to English Translation in Coquitlam
We provide certified translation into English of any genuine Tobian personal or heritage text and handle the English or Palauan records that Palau normally issues, with a commissioner of oaths where a record is incomplete.
Tobian (Ramari Hatohobei) is a Micronesian language of the Chuukic group spoken on the small island of Tobi in the far southwest of Palau, with around 150 speakers in the world and a severely endangered status. It is written in the Latin alphabet where written at all. Because Palau conducts official business in English, birth, marriage and civil records for Tobians are normally issued in English, so a certificate typically needs confirmation and formatting rather than translation from Tobian.
A Tobian request is usually a personal or heritage item, a linguistic or family-history text, or one passage within an IRCC or estate file. Where genuine Tobian text is involved we translate it directly, drawing on the limited documented material for the language; otherwise we handle the English or Palauan record accordingly. Output is issued by a certified translator, or supported by a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths where a record is incomplete, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
Every certified Tobi 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 Coquitlam gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada. See certified Tobi translation for the document service in full.

Tobian interpreting is arranged remotely by phone or video, and because the language has around 150 speakers worldwide we confirm availability for the date before taking the booking.
