Prism Linguistics provides certified English translation of French Polynesian civil records and Tahitian-language church registers, and Tahitian interpreters for medical appointments, court hearings and immigration interviews in Round Rock and across the United States.
Prism Linguistics provides qualified Tahitian translators in Round Rock and professional Tahitian interpreters for the hospitals, courts, USCIS appointments and attorneys that serve Polynesian families there. Our Tahitian translation services pair a French translator for the civil record with a reo Tahiti specialist for church registers and family papers, and every document leaves as a certified translation.
Round Rock is in Williamson County. Criminal and civil matters from the city are heard in the Williamson County district courts and the county courts at law in Georgetown, while the Round Rock Municipal Court handles Class C misdemeanors, traffic and city code violations. Courts and attorneys here come to Prism Linguistics for court interpreting and certified translation for USCIS and immigration filings, and above all for rare languages other providers cannot supply.
Round Rock Independent School District reports 92 languages other than English spoken by its families, naming Hindi, Tamil, Vietnamese, Arabic, Spanish and Amharic among them, and provides translation support at every campus. Dell Technologies' global headquarters and Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Round Rock add clinical and corporate demand, and a sizeable Telugu-speaking community has settled around them. Prism's only office is in New York; its interpreters and translators work nationwide, and a linguist based in or near Round Rock is assigned for in-person work.
Certified Tahitian to English translation at Prism means a qualified Tahitian translator working on the papers actually written in reo Tahiti: Maohi Protestant Church registers, baptism records and family letters. The French civil certificate that sits beside them goes to a French translator, and both come back with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy.
The civil record is French; the family is Tahitian. French Polynesia is part of France, so a birth, marriage or death certificate (acte de naissance, de mariage, de décès) comes from the mairie of the commune where the event happened. It is written in French. What is Tahitian about it is the names. Reo Tahiti marks a glottal stop and long vowels that a French clerk often left out or wrote inconsistently, so the same name can look different on a certificate, a passport and a baptism record. We reproduce each document as printed and spell names to match the passport, noting the variant.
Civil registration only began in 1852 and reached the outer islands decades later, so older family records are church records. Maohi Protestant Church registers are kept in Tahitian; Catholic parish and Latter-day Saints records also exist, and these are the documents that need a Tahitian translator.
Every certified Tahitian 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 Round Rock gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in the country.

Our Tahitian interpreters in Round Rock are experienced, professional linguists who work in hospitals, state courts and USCIS field offices, and who know that a Tahitian interpreting assignment usually involves an older speaker whose younger relatives would otherwise be pressed into interpreting for them.
A French interpreter usually serves, until it does not. The 2017 territorial census found 22 percent of French Polynesians speaking a Polynesian language at home, rising to 41 percent among people aged 70 and over. So the person who needs a Tahitian interpreter in a US hospital or courtroom is typically elderly, and a younger relative interpreting for them in French is exactly the arrangement to avoid. Tahitian is also not the only language of French Polynesia: Marquesan and Tuamotuan are separate languages, and we ask which island the speaker comes from. The 2020 census counted about 7,900 Americans of Tahitian origin, half of them in Hawaii. No state runs a court certification exam in Tahitian, so courts use a qualified interpreter, often by video. Federally funded providers must supply one at no cost. At a USCIS interview the interpreter renders each answer as given.
For an in-person assignment in Round Rock we assign a Tahitian 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.
Tahitian (Reo Tahiti) is the indigenous language of Tahiti and French Polynesia, with around 70,000 speakers, co-official alongside French in French Polynesia. The US Tahitian-speaking community is essentially non-existent. Translation requests are very rare; most French Polynesian civil documents are in French and routed accordingly.
