Vasekela Bushman Translation Services in Fredericton, NB

Vasekela is a San, or Bushman, !Kung variety with click consonants and no standard written form; the community in Canada is negligible, so any need is rare and remote, and records come in Portuguese, English or Afrikaans, in Fredericton and across Canada.

Vasekela Bushman to English Translation Services in Fredericton

We provide certified translation into English of the Portuguese, English or Afrikaans civil records behind a Vasekela speaker's file, and prepare a sworn affidavit where a record is missing or approximate.

Vasekela Bushman refers to a San, or Bushman, community of !Kung, also called !Xun, origin, with roots in southern Angola and later settlement in Namibia and South Africa. The speech is a Ju, or !Kung, variety of the Khoisan grouping, marked by click consonants, and it has essentially no standardised written form. There is therefore no such thing as a civil document written in Vasekela: birth, marriage and identity records for these communities are issued by the state in Portuguese in Angola, and in English or Afrikaans in Namibia and South Africa.

In practice, any translation work for a Vasekela speaker is translation of those Portuguese, English or Afrikaans records into a certified English version, not translation from the language itself. Records for a historically displaced, formerly semi-nomadic community may be incomplete or reconstructed, and we translate what exists and label it plainly rather than present it as more than it is.

Any translation is issued as a certified translation by a qualified translator, or as a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths where a record is missing or approximate. We are a private agency, not a court-appointed body, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution, such as IRCC or the IRB.

Every certified Vasekela Bushman 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 Fredericton gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

Vasekela Bushman Interpreters in Fredericton

Our Vasekela interpreting for Fredericton is remote and occasional, confirming the exact !Kung variety and, where no true match exists, looking to a related variety or a common second language.

Requests for spoken Vasekela in Canada are very rare, since the community here is negligible. Where a need does arise, for a refugee or medical matter, it would be arranged remotely, and we would confirm the exact variety, since !Kung, or !Xun, speech spans several related forms and a speaker may also use Afrikaans, Portuguese or a regional Bantu language.

Any interpreting for Fredericton would be by phone or video rather than on site, given how few speakers are in the country. We are honest at intake about the difficulty of sourcing a speaker of so small a language, and we would look to a related !Kung variety or a common second language where a true match cannot be found.

For an in-person assignment in Fredericton we assign a Vasekela Bushman 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.
