Prism Linguistics provides certified English translation of the French and Arabic civil records that Sara speakers from Chad actually hold, and Sara interpreters for refugee, asylum, medical and court appointments in Green Bay and across the United States.
Our Sara interpreters in Green Bay are professional, experienced linguists who work in resettlement clinics, asylum offices, hospitals and state courts, and who are matched to Ngambay or another Sara language before the booking, which is what makes a Sara interpreting assignment right for an older relative.
Sara is a family of languages, not one. Ngambay, with around a million speakers, is the largest, and the others are close but not identical, so we ask which Sara the family speaks before assigning anyone. Sara speakers of working age usually also speak French or Chadian Arabic, the trade language of about 60 percent of the country, and either works as a relay when a Sara interpreter cannot be found in time; older relatives usually need the Sara itself. No state runs a court certification exam in Sara, so courts use a qualified Sara interpreter, usually by phone or video; Sara is the kind of rare language courts come to us for.
For an in-person assignment in Green Bay we assign a Sara 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 Sara interpreters in Green Bay for refugee medical screenings, asylum and USCIS interviews, court hearings and depositions, in person where possible and otherwise by phone or video, matched to the speaker's own Sara language, together with certified Sara translation of the papers in the file.
Green Bay is the seat of Brown County, Wisconsin. The Brown County Circuit Court, which sits in eight branches, hears felonies, family, probate and civil matters, while the Green Bay Municipal Court handles citations issued by city police, fire, inspection and public works staff for traffic and other ordinance violations. The Oneida Nation runs its own trial court in Green Bay. Courts and attorneys come to Prism for the rare languages other providers cannot supply, and for USCIS-compliant certified translation.
The Green Bay Area Public School District reports more than 37 languages among its students, with Spanish, Hmong and Somali the prominent ones after English. It publishes district information and its Commitment to Education brochure in English, Spanish, Hmong and Somali. HSHS St. Vincent Hospital, the largest in the region, adds steady medical interpreting demand. Prism Linguistics works from a single New York office and assigns a linguist based near Green Bay for in-person court, medical and private client work.
Local Sara interpreting services in Green Bay and the cities around it come from the same nationwide network, so a resettlement agency, clinic, court or attorney in any city below books a Sara interpreter the same way, in person where one is near and by phone or video otherwise.
Our only office is in New York. For in-person work in Green Bay we assign a Sara interpreter who is based in or near the city, and the same Sara linguists cover the surrounding area:
Certified Sara to English translation at Prism covers the letter or affidavit actually written in Sara, handled by a qualified Sara translator, alongside certified French or Arabic to English translation of the ANATS acte de naissance, the jugement supplétif and the UNHCR registration card, each with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy.
Sara speakers hold French or Arabic documents. Sara is the language group of southern Chad, but Chad's official languages are French and Arabic and its civil records follow them: the acte de naissance, now issued as a secured document by the Agence Nationale des Titres Sécurisés (ANATS), the marriage record and the school certificate come in French, sometimes Arabic. So the certified translation a Sara-speaking family needs for USCIS is French to English, occasionally Arabic. Chad is still registering much of its population: a government operation launched in July 2026 set out to give a million children a birth certificate, and an adult born in a Sara village often holds a jugement supplétif, a court judgment standing in for the birth record that was never made. We translate the judgment as a judgment and say so.
Refugees who came through camps carry UNHCR registration cards and affidavits in place of certificates, and a Sara name is often spelled one way in French and another in Arabic; we spell to match the travel document and note the variant.
Every certified Sara 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 Green Bay gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in the country.

Sara is a group of related Nilo-Saharan languages spoken by around 3 million people primarily in southern Chad and northern Central African Republic. The Sara peoples were historically targeted during the long Chadian civil conflicts. The US Sara-speaking community is small, concentrated in areas that received Chadian and CAR refugee resettlement. Our Sara translation work is occasional and typically USCIS asylum-related.
No. Chad issues civil records in French, and sometimes Arabic, so we translate the French or Arabic document in full with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy prepared to meet USCIS requirements. If a letter or affidavit is written in Sara, a Sara translator handles it.
We ask first. Sara covers several related languages of southern Chad, of which Ngambay is the largest, and we match the interpreter to the speaker's own variety. Where none is available in time we can relay through French or Chadian Arabic. We are a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor.
No. Our only office is in New York. Sara translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in Green Bay we assign a Sara interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in the United States.
Every assignment follows our TEP workflow for written work – translation, editing, proofreading – with a free revision policy, and every interpreting booking is managed by a dedicated coordinator to meet regulatory and client requirements.
Our Sara interpreters are vetted for fluency, subject-matter expertise and professional ethics, and certified translation work is handled by certified translators who are members of provincial bodies under CTTIC.
We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year – including American statutory holidays. Confidentiality is protected in line with HIPAA on every assignment.
