Lincoln is the seat of Lancaster County and Nebraska's state capital. Felonies, domestic relations and larger civil suits are heard in the Lancaster County District Court, the state's Third Judicial District, which also decides appeals from county court and most state agencies. Misdemeanors, traffic, small claims, evictions and probate stay in Lancaster County Court, and Lancaster is one of only three Nebraska counties with a separate juvenile court.
Lincoln has the largest Yazidi community in the United States, Kurmanji Kurdish speakers, and Yazda opened North America's first Yazidi cultural center here. Lincoln Public Schools names Arabic, Chinese, French, Karen, Kurdish, Nuer, Russian, Spanish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese as the commonest first languages among its English language learners, and translates documents for families. Courts come to Prism for the rarer of those, Kurmanji, Nuer and Karen among them, which other providers cannot supply. Our only office is in New York; in-person work goes to a linguist based near Lincoln.
Certified Myene to English translation at Prism is mostly the French acte de naissance, marriage act and diploma from Gabon, translated in full by a qualified translator who reads the Myene names correctly, plus any handwritten Myene declaration, each signed for USCIS and attorneys.
Myene documents are French documents. Myene is a cluster of six closely related Bantu varieties (Mpongwe, Orungu, Galwa, Adyumba, Nkomi and Enenga) spoken by about 46,000 people in Gabon, mainly in Ogooué-Maritime and Moyen-Ogooué provinces and around the capital. Gabon's official language is French, and every record a Myene speaker brings to USCIS is in French: the acte de naissance from the état civil office of the mairie, préfecture or sous-préfecture where the birth was declared, the marriage act, and school and university certificates. So a Myene translation order is a French-to-English translation of a Gabonese record, and the Myene layer is in the names, which a French-speaking clerk spelled by ear. We spell names to match the passport and note the Myene form on the original. Where a document does carry Myene text, such as a handwritten declaration, we translate it.
Every certified Myene 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 Lincoln gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in the country.

Our Myene interpreters in Lincoln are professional, experienced linguists who work in immigration and state courts, hospitals and USCIS field offices, mostly by phone or video, and who are assigned in the speaker's own variety for every Myene interpreting job.
Which Myene? Mpongwe, Orungu or Galwa changes who we call. The six Myene varieties are close, but a speaker will tell you at once which one is theirs, and an interpreter is most reliable in their own. Myene speakers in the United States are few, and almost all of them also speak French, so the practical question is usually whether a French interpreter will do. For a working-age applicant it often will. For an elderly relative, or for testimony about a childhood spent in a Myene-speaking village, book a Myene interpreter, and expect the assignment to be by phone or video because in-person Myene interpreters are scarce; Myene is exactly the kind of rare language that courts come to us for. No state runs a court certification exam in Myene, so courts use a qualified Myene interpreter, and we confirm what the court will accept. Hospitals that take federal funds must provide a Myene interpreter at no cost. At USCIS the interpreter renders each answer as given.
For an in-person assignment in Lincoln we assign a Myene 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.
