Prism Linguistics provides certified English translation of Romanian and Moldovan documents, including Soviet-era records in Cyrillic, and Romanian interpreters for court, medical and USCIS appointments in San Bernardino and nationwide.
Romanian Interpreters in San Bernardino
Our Romanian interpreters in San Bernardino are qualified, professional linguists who work in state courts, hospitals, law firms and USCIS field offices, and who check first whether a Moldovan or Roma speaker is better served in Romanian, Russian or Romani.
Romanian, Moldovan or Romani? They are not interchangeable. Romanian and the language of Moldova are the same language, but a Moldovan witness may be more comfortable in Russian; we ask. Romani, spoken by Roma families from Romania, is a different language altogether, and a Romani-speaking elder booked as Romanian will sit through a hearing understanding half of it. If the family is Roma, tell us, and we work out with them which language the interpreter must have.
Who books a Romanian interpreter. About 425,000 Americans reported Romanian ancestry on 2023 Census estimates, concentrated in the New York metropolitan area and New Jersey, southern California, the Great Lakes states and Arizona, and it is the parents and grandparents of that community who need a Romanian interpreter. Romanian is not among the languages with a national court interpreter exam through the National Center for State Courts, so courts use a registered or otherwise qualified Romanian interpreter; tell us the court and the case type and we confirm what it will accept. We are a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor. A federally funded hospital must provide a Romanian interpreter at no cost to the patient. At USCIS the Romanian interpreter renders the answer neutrally and does not correct the applicant's grammar or story.
For an in-person assignment in San Bernardino we assign a Romanian 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.
Romanian Court, Medical and USCIS Interpreters in San Bernardino
Prism Linguistics supplies experienced Romanian interpreters in San Bernardino for court hearings, depositions, attorney meetings, medical appointments and USCIS interviews, in person, by phone or by video.
San Bernardino is the county seat of San Bernardino County. California abolished its municipal courts under Proposition 220, so a single unified trial court now hears everything: the Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino, takes felonies and larger civil cases alongside the limited civil, small claims, traffic and infraction work municipal courts once handled, with local proceedings at the San Bernardino Justice Center.
The court's certified interpreter languages are Arabic, Eastern Armenian, Cantonese, Farsi, Tagalog, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Punjabi, Russian, Spanish and Vietnamese. San Bernardino City Unified School District publishes its Student and Parent Handbook in English and Spanish. St. Bernardine Medical Center and California State University, San Bernardino generate further work. Prism Linguistics runs a single New York office and assigns a linguist based near San Bernardino for in-person court, medical and USCIS-compliant certified translation. Courts come to us for the rare languages other providers cannot supply.

Romanian to English Translation Services in San Bernardino
Certified Romanian to English translation from our Romanian translators covers the certificat de naștere, marriage and death certificates, Agenția Servicii Publice extracts from Moldova and the Soviet-era ZAGS certificates in Russian and Moldovan Cyrillic.
Romania and Moldova issue the same language on different paper. A Romanian certificat de naștere from a local civil status office is a single, standard form. A Moldovan applicant may hold a modern certificate from the Agenția Servicii Publice, a multilingual extract, or a Soviet-era certificate from a ZAGS office written in Russian and in Moldovan Cyrillic, and Moldova now tells holders of the old Soviet certificates to request a Romanian-language duplicate. USCIS does not require the duplicate; it requires a complete translation of what you hold, so the Romanian translation covers the Cyrillic original, both languages where the form is bilingual, and every stamp.
The trap is the diacritic. Romanian uses ș and ț with a comma below, and older software substituted the cedilla forms, so the same surname is printed three ways across a birth certificate, a diploma and a passport. A Romanian translator who drops the marks turns Ștefan into Stefan and Niță into Nita, and USCIS reads that as a different person. We keep the diacritics the passport shows, note where a document differs, and for a Moldovan record transliterate the Cyrillic to the Latin form the applicant's passport uses rather than to a generic Russian romanisation.
Every certified Romanian 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 San Bernardino gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in the country.

About the Romanian Language
Romanian is the Romance language of Eastern Europe, closely related to Italian and French, but written in a region surrounded by Slavic languages, with which it shares some vocabulary. Around 24 million people speak it as a native language, mostly in Romania and Moldova. In the United States the Romanian-American community is around 500,000, concentrated in Chicago, Detroit, New York, and Sacramento. Our Romanian translation work is a balanced mix of USCIS civil documents (birth, marriage, divorce records), Romanian school transcripts being evaluated for US universities, and the work permits that come with the growing Romanian medical and IT professional presence.
Romanian Interpreting in San Bernardino: FAQs
My Moldovan birth certificate is a Soviet-era document in Russian. Can you translate it for USCIS?
Yes. We translate the Soviet-era certificate in full, both the Russian and the Moldovan Cyrillic text where the form is bilingual, plus stamps and marginal notes, and transliterate names to the Latin spelling on your passport. USCIS requires a complete certified translation of the document you hold; you do not need to obtain a new Romanian-language duplicate first.
Do you have Romani interpreters, or only Romanian?
We ask which you need. Romanian and Romani are different languages, and a Roma family from Romania may speak both or only one. Tell us at booking and we confirm with the family which language the interpreter must have for the hearing or appointment, rather than sending a Romanian interpreter to someone who needs Romani.
Do you have an office in San Bernardino?
No. Our only office is in New York. Romanian translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in San Bernardino we assign a Romanian interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in the United States.
