About the Bosnian language.
Bosnian is one of the three official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina, alongside Croatian and Serbian. It is written mainly in the Latin alphabet, and also in Cyrillic. Other Slavic languages we translate include Bulgarian, Croatian, Macedonian and Montenegrin.
Documents from Bosnia and Herzegovina may be issued in Bosnian, Croatian or Serbian, sometimes in more than one. We translate from the language actually used. Bosnian shares most of its grammar with Croatian and Serbian, and has some vocabulary of Turkish, Arabic and Persian origin. We keep names and special letters exactly as they appear on the identity document.
Bosnian to English is usually personal, civil, academic and immigration documents. English to Bosnian is usually community, business and public information content.
Common Bosnian documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, degree certificates and police clearance certificates. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.

Certified Bosnian translation
For official documents, tell us which institution will receive your Bosnian translation and send its written requirements. We assess the language pair and confirm whether the project needs a signed statement of accuracy, a sworn translator or another process. Acceptance is decided by the receiving institution.
Common documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, degree certificates and police clearance certificates. Requirements differ between courts, embassies, universities and immigration authorities, so tell us where the Bosnian translation will be submitted and send any written instructions you have. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
Bosnian legal translation
Legal translation into and from Bosnian requires specialist knowledge of legal terminology, document conventions, and the specific requirements of the relevant legal system. Each project is assigned to a linguist with the right language pair and subject expertise, and managed by a named project manager.
