Professional Rohingya Translation Services
The Rohingya are one of the world's most persecuted minorities, described by the United Nations as victims of genocide. Over one million Rohingya have fled Myanmar since 2017, with significant numbers resettled or seeking asylum in the UK. These individuals and families require professional Rohingya translation services for asylum claims, UNHCR resettlement processing, healthcare access, and integration support.
We provide specialist Rohingya translation and interpreting services to immigration solicitors, resettlement organisations, the Home Office, NHS healthcare providers, and human rights organisations. Our Rohingya translators are native speakers from the global diaspora, vetted for accuracy and experienced in handling highly sensitive content relating to persecution, displacement, and trauma.
Whether you are supporting an asylum case, processing a UNHCR resettlement referral, or providing healthcare to Rohingya patients, our translations are accurate, compassionate, and fully certified for official use.
Why Rohingya Requires Genuine Specialist Expertise
Rohingya translation is one of the most challenging specialist language services, requiring expertise that very few translation agencies can genuinely provide:
- Language misidentification, Rohingya is frequently misidentified as Bengali, Burmese, or Chittagonian by agencies unfamiliar with it. While Rohingya shares some vocabulary with Chittagonian, it is a distinct language with its own grammar, vocabulary, and cultural context
- Script variation, A single Rohingya client may present documents in Hanifi script, Arabic-based script, Bengali script, and Latin transliteration. Translators must be able to read all variants
- No standardisation, Unlike established national languages, Rohingya has no single authority governing spelling, grammar, or terminology. Our translators are experienced navigating these variations
- Trauma sensitivity, Rohingya translation almost always involves content relating to genocide, sexual violence, military operations, and forced displacement. Our translators are experienced in handling this content with appropriate care
We never assign Rohingya work to Bengali or Burmese translators, this would produce inaccurate, potentially harmful translations that could undermine an asylum case.
Rohingya Translation for Asylum, Resettlement, and Community Support
We support Rohingya individuals and the organisations that serve them across a wide range of translation needs:
- Asylum claims, Translation of witness statements, country-of-origin evidence, identity documents, and all supporting materials for Home Office asylum applications and tribunal appeals
- UNHCR resettlement, Translation of UNHCR referral documents, status determination letters, and resettlement processing paperwork for families arriving through official resettlement schemes
- Family reunion, Translation of relationship evidence and supporting documents for family reunion visa applications, helping separated families reunite in the UK
- Healthcare, Medical interpreting and translation of health records, enabling Rohingya patients to access NHS services and communicate with healthcare providers
- Education, Translation of educational records and school communications, supporting Rohingya children and adults accessing UK education
- Community services, Interpreting for local authority services, housing, benefits, and community integration support
Every Rohingya translation is certified and accepted by UK authorities. We understand that for many Rohingya clients, these translations are not routine paperwork: they are lifelines.
