What languages do you translate?

We translate over 50 languages with a specialty in the languages most commonly spoken in Tennessee: Kurdish (Sorani), Arabic, Spanish, and Somali. We also translate French, Vietnamese, Mandarin Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Swahili, Burmese, Nepali, and many more. Contact us if you need a language not listed here.

What is a certified translation?

A certified translation includes a signed statement from the translator or translation company attesting that the translation is accurate and complete. Certified translations are required by USCIS for immigration applications, by Tennessee courts for legal proceedings, and by many government agencies and educational institutions. All Tennessee Translation certified translations are accepted by USCIS and Tennessee state agencies.

How much does translation cost?

Translation pricing depends on the language pair, document complexity, word count, and turnaround time. We offer competitive rates starting at $0.10 per word for common language pairs. Certified document translations (such as birth certificates and diplomas) are typically priced as flat-rate projects. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote on your specific translation needs.

How fast can you translate my documents?

Standard turnaround for most certified document translations is 2-3 business days. Rush service is available with 24-hour turnaround for urgent requests. Large projects such as manuals, websites, and multi-page legal documents are quoted individually based on scope and complexity. We always provide a clear timeline before starting work.

Do you provide interpretation services?

Yes, we provide both on-site and remote interpretation services throughout Tennessee. We offer consecutive and simultaneous interpretation for court proceedings, medical appointments, business meetings, conferences, and school events. Phone and video interpretation is available for urgent needs or locations outside our in-person service areas.

Are your translations accepted by USCIS?

Yes. All of our certified translations meet USCIS requirements and are accepted for immigration applications including green card petitions, naturalization applications, visa applications, and asylum cases. Our certification statement complies with USCIS standards and includes the translator's credentials and signature.

What areas of Tennessee do you serve?

We serve the entire state of Tennessee with a focus on Nashville (Davidson County), Memphis (Shelby County), Knoxville (Knox County), Chattanooga (Hamilton County), Clarksville (Montgomery County), and Murfreesboro (Rutherford County).
