Prism Linguistics provides certified translation of Nauruan documents and Nauruan interpreters for USCIS interviews, court hearings and medical appointments in Metairie and across the United States, one of the rarest languages we are asked for.
Nauruan Interpreters in Metairie
Our Nauruan interpreters in Metairie are professional linguists with courtroom, hospital and USCIS experience, and Prism handles most Nauruan interpreting assignments by phone or video so that an older speaker's evidence or medical history is taken exactly, in Nauruan.
Nauruan interpreters are scarce, and we say so up front. With around 9,000 native speakers in the world, Nauruan is one of the smallest languages on our list, and Nauruans who reach the United States nearly all speak English, which is the language of government, business and media at home. A Nauruan interpreter is needed when an older speaker gives evidence, when a medical history has to be taken exactly, or when a court or USCIS officer wants testimony in the language the person thinks in. Expect a Nauruan assignment to be by phone or video. No state runs a court certification exam in Nauruan, so courts use a qualified Nauruan interpreter, and Nauruan is exactly the kind of rare language that courts come to us for. Hospitals that take federal funds must provide a Nauruan interpreter at no cost. At USCIS the Nauruan interpreter renders each answer as given.
For an in-person assignment in Metairie we assign a Nauruan 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.
Nauruan Court, Medical and USCIS Interpreters in Metairie
Prism Linguistics supplies experienced Nauruan interpreters in Metairie for court testimony, USCIS interviews and medical histories, nearly always by phone or video, and we tell you the lead time honestly, together with certified translation of any document that is actually written in Nauruan.
Metairie is an unincorporated census designated place in Jefferson Parish, so it has no city hall and no municipal court. Louisiana is organized by parishes: felonies, family matters and larger civil cases go to the 24th Judicial District Court, while First Parish Court, which sits in Metairie, handles misdemeanors, traffic, parish ordinance violations and smaller civil claims. Courts come to Prism for rare languages other providers cannot supply.
Jefferson Parish Schools provides free written translation and oral interpretation to families in Spanish, Vietnamese and Arabic, and its students speak about fifty languages in all, including Urdu, Portuguese, Tagalog, Amharic, Wolof and Aymara. The New Orleans metropolitan area has the largest Honduran community in the United States, and many families settled in Metairie. East Jefferson General Hospital and attorneys filing with USCIS drive steady medical and certified translation work. Prism runs a single office, in New York, and assigns a linguist based in or near the area for in-person assignments.

Nauruan to English Translation Services in Metairie
Certified Nauruan to English translation at Prism is for the document that is genuinely in the language, a letter, affidavit, church record or land paper, translated in full by a qualified Nauruan translator and signed with a Certificate of Translation Accuracy; the English certificates Nauru issues need no translation at all.
Nauruan records are issued in English. Nauruan and English are both official in Nauru, and Nauruan is spoken at home by about 95 percent of the population, but government runs in English: birth, marriage, death and divorce certificates come from the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages at the Government Offices, Yaren District, printed on plain paper with a red ink seal, in English. So a Nauruan speaker rarely needs a translation at all. The Nauruan request we actually get is for a letter, affidavit, church record or land document written in Nauruan, or for an English document to be rendered into Nauruan for a relative on the island. Nauruan has roughly 9,000 native speakers, so few translators have ever seen one of these documents. We translate Nauruan text in full, spell personal names to match the passport and note the variant on the original.
Every certified Nauruan 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 Metairie gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in the country.

About the Nauruan Language
Nauruan is the national language of Nauru, the world's smallest island nation, with a population under 12,000. Around 7,000 people speak Nauruan; English is the language of administration. The US Nauruan-speaking community is essentially non-existent; translation requests are extremely rare.
Nauruan Interpreting in Metairie: FAQs
My Nauruan birth certificate is in English. Do I need it translated?
No. The Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages in Nauru issues certificates in English, so USCIS accepts them as they are. Where a document is written in Nauruan, such as a letter, affidavit or land record, we translate it in full with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy.
Can you really find a Nauruan interpreter?

No. Our only office is in New York. Nauruan translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work.
