Prism Linguistics provides Tshiluba interpreters for USCIS and asylum interviews, court hearings and medical appointments in Green Bay and across the United States, and certified English translation of the French civil records and Tshiluba statements that Kasai families carry.
Tshiluba Translators in Green Bay
Prism Linguistics provides qualified Tshiluba translators in Green Bay and professional Tshiluba interpreters for the resettlement agencies, courts, hospitals and attorneys that serve Green Bay's Congolese families, with certified translation of the affidavits, church letters and statements written in the language alongside the French civil records.
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.
Tshiluba to English Translation Services in Green Bay
Certified Tshiluba to English translation from Prism covers the part of a Congolese file that is actually in the language: affidavits, church letters and family statements, rendered by a qualified Tshiluba translator and delivered with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, while the French acte de naissance goes to our French translators.
The certificate is in French; the story behind it is in Tshiluba. Tshiluba, also written Ciluba, is one of the four national languages of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, spoken across the Kasai provinces, but the state writes in French. A birth is registered at the commune's civil status office (bureau de l'état civil) within ninety days and produces an acte de naissance; a birth registered late needs a jugement supplétif from a peace court. We translate the French record in full and identify each authority as printed.
Congolese refugees were the largest group admitted to the United States in fiscal year 2024, nearly twenty thousand people, and a Tshiluba-speaking family from a camp arrives with UNHCR registration papers rather than a full civil record. The Tshiluba layer is in the affidavits, church letters and the family's own account, taken through a Tshiluba interpreter. Tshiluba names are the trap: a child may carry a Tshiluba name at home, a French baptismal name on the acte, and a third spelling on the refugee travel document. The Tshiluba translator spells to match the travel document and notes each variant.
Every certified Tshiluba 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.

Tshiluba Interpreters in Green Bay
Our Tshiluba interpreters in Green Bay are experienced, professional linguists who work in asylum offices, immigration and state courts, hospitals and resettlement clinics, and who confirm which Kasai province a family comes from before the assignment is accepted.
Kasai east or west? Ask, then assign. Tshiluba has an eastern variety spoken by the Luba of Kasai-Oriental and a western one spoken by the Lulua of Kasai-Occidental; the differences are mostly tone and vocabulary, so one Tshiluba interpreter can usually cover both, but we ask where the family is from. The harder question is whether the person needs Tshiluba at all: many Kasai adults also speak French or Lingala, and an agency that sends a French interpreter to a grandmother from a Kasai village has failed her. No state runs a court certification exam in Tshiluba, so courts use a qualified Tshiluba interpreter; Tshiluba is the kind of rare language courts come to us for. Hospitals and clinics that take federal funds must provide a Tshiluba interpreter at no cost. At a USCIS asylum or adjustment interview the Tshiluba interpreter renders each answer as given, without softening.
For an in-person assignment in Green Bay we assign a Tshiluba 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.

About the Tshiluba Language
Tshiluba (Luba-Kasai) is a Bantu language spoken by around 6 million people in the Kasai region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it's one of the four national languages. The US Tshiluba-speaking community is small, tied to Congolese refugee and immigrant populations in Texas, Maryland, and parts of the Midwest. Our Tshiluba translation work is occasional and typically USCIS asylum-related, alongside the church and community-association documents tied to Congolese diaspora networks.

Tshiluba Translation in Green Bay: FAQs
My Congolese birth certificate is in French. Do I need a Tshiluba translator?
No, you need a certified French to English translation, which we provide, since the acte de naissance and the jugement suppletif are in French. A Tshiluba translator is needed for the affidavits, church letters and family statements in Tshiluba. We deliver both with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy.
Do you send an eastern or a western Tshiluba interpreter?
We ask where the family is from. The Luba variety of Kasai-Oriental and the Lulua variety of Kasai-Occidental differ mainly in tone and vocabulary, and one Tshiluba interpreter can usually cover both. No state certifies court interpreters in Tshiluba. We are a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor.
Do you have an office in Green Bay?
No. Our only office is in New York. Tshiluba 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 Tshiluba interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in the United States.
