Professional Bengali Translation Services UK

Bengali is the seventh most spoken language in the world, with over 230 million native speakers primarily in Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal. The UK has one of the largest Bangladeshi diaspora communities in Europe, with the British-Bangladeshi population exceeding 600,000 people — creating substantial demand for professional Bengali translation services.

Bengali documents present unique challenges for translation. Written in the Bengali script (বাংলা লিপি), Bengali uses a distinct alphabet derived from ancient Brahmi script. Official Bangladeshi documents follow formatting conventions that differ significantly from UK standards, requiring translators who understand both systems.

Our Bengali translators are native speakers with expertise in Bangladeshi administrative systems and UK immigration requirements. Whether you need birth certificates for UK visa applications, educational credentials for NARIC recognition, or marriage certificates for spouse visa applications, our certified translations are accepted by the Home Office, UKVI, and all UK official bodies.

Accurate Bengali translation requires specific expertise:

• Bengali script — Bengali uses its own script with 11 vowels and 39 consonants. Our translators accurately transliterate Bengali names to English following consistent conventions
• Bangladesh vs West Bengal — Documents from Bangladesh and Indian West Bengal have different formats and administrative terminology. We assign translators familiar with the appropriate system
• Islamic documents — Marriage and family documents often include Arabic Islamic terms (Nikah, Mehr, Talaq). We accurately translate these with appropriate explanations for UK authorities
• Bilingual documents — Many Bangladeshi official documents include both Bengali and English sections. Our translations clearly indicate which portions were originally in each language
• Name variations — Bengali names may be spelled differently when transliterated to English. We maintain consistency with existing UK documents where possible

Our translators understand both Bangladeshi bureaucratic systems and UK immigration requirements, ensuring your documents meet all standards for acceptance.
