Certified Luxembourgeois document translation and Luxembourgeois interpreters for Berkeley courts, hospitals, attorneys and USCIS appointments.
Prism Linguistics provides certified English translation of Luxembourg civil records for Luxembourgeois (Luxembourgish) speakers, most of which are issued in French or German rather than Luxembourgeois, and Luxembourgeois interpreters for hearings, depositions and USCIS interviews in Berkeley and across the United States.
Prism Linguistics provides qualified Luxembourgeois translators in Berkeley and professional Luxembourgeois interpreters for the attorneys, courts, hospitals and USCIS appointments in Berkeley that need the national language of Luxembourg rendered exactly. Our Luxembourgeois translation services cover letters, wills and Luxembourg civil records, delivered as a certified translation.
Berkeley sits in Alameda County, and cases from the city are heard in the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, which holds jurisdiction over the entire county under Article VI of the state constitution. California has no separate municipal courts, so limited matters such as traffic citations, small claims and probate are handled by the same Superior Court at its Berkeley Courthouse on Martin Luther King Jr. Way, while much of the county's felony and civil calendar runs in Oakland at the Rene C. Davidson Courthouse.
Berkeley Unified School District runs a Newcomer Program at King Middle School, Spanish two-way immersion at Longfellow and Sylvia Mendez, and offers translation of its family web pages, and Berkeley High School operates a Multilingual Program for newcomer students. Nearby in the same county, Oakland Unified meets the state translation threshold for Spanish, Mam and Arabic; Mam, a Mayan language of Guatemala, is exactly the sort of rare language courts approach Prism for when other providers cannot supply it. UC Berkeley adds steady academic and research demand. Prism's only office is in New York, but a linguist near Berkeley is assigned for in-person work.
Certified Luxembourgeois to English translation from Prism covers personal letters, wills and any record actually drafted in the national language, and our Luxembourgeois translation services also handle the French and German extracts Luxembourg issues, each with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy prepared to meet USCIS requirements.
Check the language before you order a Luxembourgeois translation. Luxembourg has three official languages, Luxembourgeois, French and German, fixed by the 1984 language law, but the civil registers are kept in French and older records may be in German or Latin. An extrait d'acte de naissance, a marriage extract or a court judgment from Luxembourg is therefore almost always a French document, and the Luxembourgeois translation a client asks for is usually a French translation with Luxembourgeois names and street names inside it. Where a document really is in Luxembourgeois, such as a personal letter or a will drafted in the national language, we translate the Luxembourgeois text itself. Going the other way, Luxembourg accepts foreign documents with a translation into French, German, English or Luxembourgeois, so a US record sent to a Luxembourg authority normally needs no Luxembourgeois translation at all.
Every certified Luxembourgeois translation is a complete, word-for-word rendering with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, prepared to meet USCIS requirements. It is done from a clear scan, so a client in Berkeley gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in the country.

Our Luxembourgeois interpreters in Berkeley are qualified, professional linguists who take depositions, court hearings and USCIS interviews where the exact Luxembourgeois wording matters, not German interpreters approximating a Moselle Franconian language.
Luxembourgeois interpreters are rarely needed, and needed precisely when they are. Luxembourg runs in three languages, so a working-age adult from Luxembourg is seldom the person who needs a Luxembourgeois interpreter. The exceptions are real: an elderly relative giving evidence, a deposition where a witness's exact words in Luxembourgeois are at issue, or a recorded conversation in Luxembourgeois that a court needs rendered rather than paraphrased. Luxembourgeois is a Moselle Franconian variety of West Central German; a German interpreter follows the gist and misses the French-derived vocabulary, which is what a transcript dispute turns on. The 2000 US census counted about 45,000 Americans of Luxembourg descent, concentrated in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa, and Luxembourgeois survives in a few of those families. No state runs a court certification exam in Luxembourgeois, so courts use a qualified Luxembourgeois interpreter, usually by phone or video; Luxembourgeois is the kind of rare language courts come to us for. At USCIS the Luxembourgeois interpreter renders each answer as given.
For an in-person assignment in Berkeley we assign a Luxembourgeois interpreter based in or near the city. Telephone and video interpreting can usually be arranged the same day. We serve courts, attorneys, hospitals, USCIS applicants and private individuals; we are a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor, and we say so up front.

Luxembourgeois is the French form of Luxembourgish, the national language of Luxembourg; see our Luxembourgish page. Anyone dealing with Luxembourg paperwork learns quickly that the country runs in three languages, and civil documents are typically issued in French or German rather than Luxembourgish. That means a birth certificate from Luxembourg usually needs a French or German translator, not a Luxembourgish one. We check the actual language of the document before quoting, which saves clients paying for the wrong pairing.

Almost certainly not. Luxembourg keeps its civil registers in French, and older records can be in German or Latin, so an extract of a birth, marriage or death record is normally a French document. We check the language before quoting and translate the record with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, spelling names to match the passport.
Yes, usually by phone or video, because in-person Luxembourgeois interpreters are scarce in the United States. A German interpreter is not a substitute where the exact wording matters. No state certifies court interpreters in Luxembourgeois. We are a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor.
No. Our only office is in New York. Luxembourgeois translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work.
