Moldavan Translators in Yonkers
Prism Linguistics provides certified Moldavan translation services in Yonkers and qualified Moldavan interpreters for the hospitals, courts, USCIS appointments and attorneys that serve the city's Moldovan-born families. Our Moldavan translators read Romanian, Soviet-era Cyrillic and Russian, so one team handles the whole file.
Yonkers is in Westchester County, on New York City's northern edge. Like other New York cities outside the five boroughs it has its own City Court, which arraigns felonies and tries misdemeanors, lesser offenses and smaller civil claims; felony prosecutions go to the Westchester County Court, and divorces, separations and larger civil actions to the Supreme Court for Westchester County.
The 2018 American Community Survey put Spanish speakers at about 35 percent of Yonkers residents. The city also has a substantial Arabic-speaking population from the Levant, particularly Jordanians and Palestinians, a sizable Albanian community, and West Indian families. St. John's Riverside Hospital and Sarah Lawrence College sit within the city and add clinical and academic demand. Prism's head office in New York is our only office; a linguist based in or near Yonkers is assigned for in-person work. Courts come to us above all for rare languages other providers cannot supply, Albanian among them.
Moldavan to English Translation Services in Yonkers
Certified Moldavan to English translation covers whatever the file holds: a Soviet ZAGS certificate in Russian and Moldavan Cyrillic, a Romanian-language record from the Public Services Agency, the multilingual extract and the archival certificate issued when an original is gone, each rendered by a qualified Moldavan translator with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy.
Moldavan, Moldovan, Romanian: one language, three names, two alphabets. Moldova's parliament settled the naming in March 2023 by making Romanian the sole state language, but the records a Moldavan applicant holds were issued under every earlier rule. A birth certificate from before 1991 comes from a Soviet ZAGS office in Russian and in Moldavan Cyrillic; one from the 1990s onward is in Romanian in Latin script, issued today through the Agenția Servicii Publice, which also issues a multilingual extract and online duplicates. USCIS does not need the duplicate; it needs a complete Moldavan translation of what you hold, both languages of a bilingual Soviet form and every stamp included.
Ion on the passport, Ivan on the birth certificate. Soviet records often wrote Moldavan names in their Russian form, so Ion appears as Ivan and Dumitru as Dmitri, and the Cyrillic can be romanised the Russian way or the Romanian way. A Moldavan translator who picks the Russian romanisation produces a name that matches nothing else in the file. We transliterate to the Latin spelling on the Moldovan passport, keep the diacritics, and note the Russian form on the original.
Every certified Moldavan 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 Yonkers gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in the country.

Moldavan Interpreters in Yonkers
Our Moldavan interpreters in Yonkers are experienced, professional linguists who work in hospitals, state courts and USCIS field offices, and who are matched to the language the person actually uses at home: Romanian, Russian or both.
Romanian, Russian or both? Ask before you book. A Moldavan speaker from the capital will follow a Romanian interpreter without difficulty; the standard language is the same on both banks of the Prut. But many older Moldavan speakers, and most people from Transnistria or Gagauzia, are more at ease in Russian, and a witness may answer in Romanian and quote a document in Russian in the same breath. We ask which language the person actually uses at home and, where the answer is both, send a Moldavan interpreter who has both.
Working-age arrivals rarely need a Moldavan interpreter; their parents do. About 56,000 US residents were born in Moldova on 2022 American Community Survey estimates, with the largest numbers in California, New York and Washington state, and most of them identify as Romanian. No state runs a court certification exam in Romanian or Moldavan, so courts use a qualified Moldavan interpreter and come to a private agency like ours for it; we are not a court-appointed vendor. A federally funded hospital must provide a Moldavan interpreter at no cost. At USCIS the Moldavan interpreter renders each answer as given, in whichever language it came.
For an in-person assignment in Yonkers we assign a Moldavan 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.
About the Moldavan Language
Moldavan, more often written Moldovan, is the language of Moldova, and linguistically it is Romanian. The distinction is political rather than practical: a Moldovan birth certificate is translated by a Romanian linguist. Older Soviet era documents may be in Cyrillic script and Russian, so a set of family records can need two different pairings. Moldovan communities in the United States are concentrated in Washington state, Oregon, Sacramento, and Chicago, largely alongside Romanian and Ukrainian arrivals.

Moldavan Translation in Yonkers: FAQs
Is a Moldavan translation the same as a Romanian translation?
The language is the same; the documents are not. A Moldavan record may be in Romanian, in Soviet-era Cyrillic or in Russian, often on one bilingual form, and names may appear in their Russian form. We translate all of it, transliterate to the passport spelling, and note the variants, which a Romanian-only translator often misses.
Do you have Moldavan interpreters who also speak Russian?
Yes. We ask at booking which language the person uses at home and, where the answer is both, assign a Moldavan interpreter who works in Romanian and Russian, so a witness can answer in one and quote a document in the other without a second interpreter.
Do you have an office in Yonkers?
No. Our only office is in New York. Moldavan translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in Yonkers we assign a Moldavan interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in the United States.
