Prism Linguistics provides certified translation of Nauruan documents and Nauruan interpreters for USCIS interviews, court hearings and medical appointments in Chicago and across the United States, one of the rarest languages we are asked for.
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 Chicago gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in the country.

Prism Linguistics provides qualified Nauruan translators in Chicago and professional Nauruan interpreters for the courts, USCIS offices, hospitals and attorneys that occasionally meet a speaker of one of the Pacific's smallest languages in Chicago. Our Nauruan translation services cover letters, affidavits, church and land records in Nauruan, delivered as certified translation.
Chicago is the seat of Cook County, and Illinois runs one unified trial court, so there is no separate municipal court. The Circuit Court of Cook County hears felonies in its Criminal Division and larger civil suits in its Law Division, while its Municipal Department, First District, covering the city, takes misdemeanors, traffic offences, evictions, small claims and felony preliminary hearings. Our only office is in New York; a linguist near Chicago covers in-person work.
The most common languages among Chicago Public Schools families are Spanish, Polish, Arabic and Chinese, and the district also publishes in Tagalog, Ukrainian, Urdu and Vietnamese. Beyond that list the city holds one of the world's largest Assyrian communities, speaking Neo-Aramaic, and a Rohingya community with its own culture center. Illinois courts have been documented falling short on Q'anjob'al interpreters, with Mam and K'iche' also in demand and thousands of Mayan speakers living downstate. Rare languages like these are why courts approach Prism.
Our Nauruan interpreters in Chicago 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 Chicago 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.
