White and Green Hmong are different enough to matter
Hmong has two main varieties in the United States — Hmong Der (White) and Mong Leng (Green) — and they differ in sounds, some vocabulary and even the community's own name for itself. A translator or interpreter from one is not automatically right for the other, and in a legal or medical setting the mismatch shows.
Tell us which your document or your client uses. Where we cannot tell from the text, we ask rather than assume.
The final consonant is a tone, not a sound
Written Hmong uses the Romanized Popular Alphabet, devised in the 1950s, in which a final consonant letter marks the tone rather than a sound: the b, j, v, s, g and m at the end of a syllable are never pronounced. Pob, poj and pos are three different words.
That is why a Hmong name looks to an English reader as though it has stray letters, and why dropping them destroys the word. Most Hmong families also have no long written record tradition, so US files rest on refugee camp registrations, resettlement papers and affidavits rather than civil certificates. We translate those and name the issuing body as it stands.
Documents from Laos
Each of these pages describes the document as Laos issues it — the authority, the format, the annotations and what offices in the United States ask for: Birth Certificate · Marriage Certificate · Divorce Certificate · Criminal Record Certificate · Academic Transcript · High School Diploma · University Diploma · Articles of Incorporation · Bank Statement · Death Certificate · Disability Certificate · Driver's License · Expert Report · Lease Agreement · Legal Separation · Medical Records · Name Change Document · Identity Card · Passport · Paternity Acknowledgment · Power of Attorney · Property Deed · Vehicle Title.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Frequently asked questions
White or Green Hmong?
Tell us if you know. They differ in sound and vocabulary, and a translator from one is not automatically right for the other.
Why does my name end in a consonant that is not pronounced?
It marks the tone in the Romanized Popular Alphabet. Removing it changes the word.
I have no birth certificate.
Common. Hmong files usually rest on camp registrations, resettlement papers and affidavits, and we translate those.
