Getting Burmese Translation Right

Native Burmese translators. Your project goes to a native Burmese speaker matched to your subject — immigration, legal, medical, humanitarian, or business.

Names without surnames. Most Burmese people have one personal name and no family surname, and honorifics like U, Daw, Ko, and Ma aren't part of the name. We reproduce every name exactly, make honorifics clear, and match your passport spelling.

Burmese numerals and Myanmar calendar dates. Documents often use Burmese digits (၀၁၂၃) and Myanmar-calendar dates. We convert every one accurately.

Zawgyi or Unicode. Burmese files may be typed in Zawgyi or Unicode, which look garbled if mixed up. We handle both and deliver in the encoding you need.

Any format, including scans and photos. For certified documents, a clear scan or phone photo is enough — no editable file needed. We translate every stamp, seal, and handwritten entry.

Certified Burmese to English Translation for USCIS and Asylum Cases

Every Burmese-language document filed with USCIS or the immigration court needs a complete English translation and a signed translator certification (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)). Notarization is not required for USCIS.

Multi-page documents receive lower per-page rates.

Myanmar documents often need context. Many births were registered late, and many customary marriages are documented by affidavit or court registration rather than a civil certificate. We translate exactly what your document says; check the USCIS reciprocity schedule for Burma for the documents USCIS expects.

Asylum and immigration court. We translate declarations, letters, arrest and court records, medical reports, and news articles — confidentially, with a signed certificate of accuracy.

Every certified translation includes: complete translation of text, stamps, and handwritten entries; names and honorifics rendered clearly; Burmese numerals and Myanmar-calendar dates converted; the signed Translation Accuracy Certificate; 24-hour delivery for most 1–2 page documents; and the USCIS acceptance guarantee.

English to Burmese Translation for Hospitals, Schools, and Community Services

Communities from Myanmar live across the US — in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Utica, St. Paul, Omaha, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, and beyond. Hospitals, clinics, schools, resettlement agencies, and courts need clear Burmese for:

• Healthcare — patient instructions, consent forms, discharge papers, and medication guides
• Schools — enrollment packs, report cards, and parent letters
• Public services — benefits notices, housing documents, and outreach materials
• Legal — court notices, summonses, and know-your-rights materials

We write plain, respectful Burmese and deliver print- and web-ready files in Unicode (or Zawgyi on request).

Serving Chin, Karen, Kachin, or other communities? Many people from Myanmar speak an ethnic language first and Burmese second. Tell us your audience and we'll confirm the best language option.

Why Choose TheWordPoint for Burmese

Native Burmese translators, carefully vetted. Every translator passes test tasks and a probation period and is matched to your subject. [List only verified credentials.]

Checked before delivery. A reviewer compares the translation with the source; human-maintained glossaries keep terminology consistent and can reduce the cost of repeated text. [State the exact repetition-discount policy.] (For high-volume content, ask about our separate machine translation post-editing service — never used for certified documents.)

Any realistic deadline. Most certified documents within 24 hours; larger projects on a schedule you set — though, as we like to say, nobody can translate 500 pages in an hour.

Confidential. Essential for asylum, legal, and medical documents.

24/7 support.
