Prism Linguistics provides certified English translation of the Romanian, Hungarian and Slovak civil records that Romani speakers actually hold, and Romani interpreters for asylum interviews, court hearings and medical appointments in Brandon and across the United States.
Certified Romani to English translation at Prism is reserved for the document actually written in Romani, a declaration or a family letter, while a qualified Romanian, Hungarian or Slovak translator prepares the certificate; a professional Romani translator makes sure the official name and the Romani name are reconciled across the file.
Romani is not Romanian. Romani is the language of the Roma; Romanian is the language of Romania. A Roma family from Romania holds a certificat de naştere from the local starea civilă office, in Romanian. A family from Hungary holds a születési anyakönyvi kivonat from the anyakönyvi hivatal, in Hungarian. A family from Slovakia holds a rodný list from the matričný úrad. Romani itself is almost never the language of the paperwork, so we quote for the language on the page and use a Romani translator only for a declaration actually written in Romani.
The trap is the name. A Roma applicant may carry a Romanian or Hungarian official name on the certificate and use a Romani name in daily life; we show the official name spelled to match the passport and note the Romani variant, or the asylum file and the birth record look like two people.
Every certified Romani 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 Brandon gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in the country.

Brandon is an unincorporated census-designated place in Hillsborough County, so it has no city government and no municipal court of its own. Felonies and larger civil actions are heard in the Circuit Court of Florida's Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, while misdemeanors, traffic citations and smaller civil claims go before the Hillsborough County Court; both hold sessions at the Brandon Regional Service Center.
Hillsborough County Public Schools serves more than twenty thousand English learners speaking over a hundred languages, and reports Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian and Creole as the most common among its students. HCA Florida Brandon Hospital, a large acute-care teaching hospital in the community, adds steady medical demand. Prism works from a single office, in New York, and assigns a linguist based near Brandon for in-person hearings and appointments; courts and attorneys come to us for rare languages other providers cannot supply, alongside USCIS-compliant certified translation.
Certified Romani translation in Brandon is ordered less often than certified Romanian, Hungarian or Slovak translation for the same family, and we say at the quote which one each page needs. A letter from a Roma community association, a statement dictated in Kalderash, or a school note in Slovak Romani goes to a Romani translator; the state certificate goes to the translator for its national language.
Romani translation for USCIS in Brandon usually supports an asylum or family case built from several languages at once: a Romanian civil certificate, a Hungarian identity card, and a personal statement the applicant wrote in Romani because that is the language the events happened in. Our Romani translators translate the statement and check every name against the official record, so USCIS sees one applicant rather than two.
Romani court document translation in Brandon is mostly evidence rather than certificates: a recorded statement in Vlax Romani, messages between relatives, a country-conditions report that quotes Roma witnesses, or an expert declaration about the treatment of Roma in a particular town. A qualified Romani translator identifies the dialect on the recording, transcribes it, and certifies the English so an attorney can file it as an exhibit.
Our Romani interpreters in Brandon are professional, experienced linguists who work in asylum offices, immigration and state courts, hospitals and clinics, and who are booked by dialect, Vlax or otherwise, which is what makes a Romani interpreting assignment right.
Ask which Romani. Romani has many dialects and no single standard. In the United States the Vlax dialects dominate, Kalderash and Machvaya among them; a Roma speaker from Slovakia or Hungary may use a non-Vlax variety that a Vlax Romani interpreter follows only partly, so we ask the family's country and group before assigning anyone. Roma have historically avoided census takers, so there is no count of Romani speakers in the United States; estimates have run as high as one million people, concentrated in Texas, Florida, California, the Pacific Northwest and the Northeast. Roma from Romania have been among recent asylum seekers at the southern border, and the recurring failure there is a Romanian interpreter booked for a Romani speaker, or the reverse. No state runs a court certification exam in Romani, so courts use a qualified Romani interpreter; Romani is the kind of rare language courts come to us for. At an asylum interview the Romani interpreter renders the answer as given.
For an in-person assignment in Brandon we assign a Romani 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.
Romani is the language of the Roma people, with around 4 million speakers distributed across Europe, particularly in Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Serbia, and Spain, plus US diaspora communities. It's an Indo-Aryan language descended from ancestral languages of northern India, brought west during medieval Roma migration. The US Romani-speaking community is small but distinctive, with concentrations in California, Texas, and parts of the Midwest. Our Romani translation work is occasional and typically tied to cultural, asylum, or community-association documents.

No. Romanian is the national language of Romania; Romani is the language of the Roma. A Roma applicant from Romania may need both: a Romanian translator for the birth certificate and a Romani interpreter for the interview. Tell us the country and the family's group and we assign accordingly.
Yes. Those certificates are in Romanian, Hungarian or Slovak rather than Romani, so the translator for that language prepares a full English translation with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy to meet USCIS requirements.
