Prism Linguistics provides certified translation of Nauruan documents and Nauruan interpreters for USCIS interviews, court hearings and medical appointments in Mobile and across the United States, one of the rarest languages we are asked for.
Our Nauruan interpreters in Mobile 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 Mobile 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.
Prism Linguistics supplies experienced Nauruan interpreters in Mobile 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.
Mobile is the seat of Mobile County and the base of Alabama's Thirteenth Judicial Circuit. The circuit court takes felonies and larger civil suits, the district court handles misdemeanors, traffic and small claims, and the City of Mobile runs its own municipal court for offenses inside the city limits. Prism Linguistics operates from one office, in New York, and assigns an interpreter based in or near the Gulf Coast whenever a courtroom or bedside needs someone in person. Courts and attorneys approach Prism for the rare languages other providers cannot supply.
Since 1975, families from Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos have settled across south Mobile County, around Bayou La Batre, Coden and Irvington, working the seafood trade, and Vietnamese is widely spoken there. The University of South Alabama and USA Health University Hospital, with its Level I trauma center, generate medical and academic translation, alongside the USCIS and immigration filings we prepare for law firms and private individuals.
Nauruan interpreting services in Mobile and nearby cities draw on the same small pool of qualified Nauruan interpreters, so a court, hospital or attorney in any of the cities below books through one intake and hears the same honest answer on availability.
Our only office is in New York. For in-person work in Mobile we assign a Nauruan interpreter who is based in or near the city, and the same Nauruan linguists cover the surrounding area:
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 Mobile gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in the country.

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.
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.
