About the Cree language.
Cree is spoken across Canada, from Alberta and Saskatchewan to northern Ontario, Quebec and Labrador. It is the most widely spoken Indigenous language in Canada and an official language of the Northwest Territories. It belongs to the Algonquian branch of the Algic family. The native name shown here is Plains Cree, nēhiyawēwin. Other Algic languages we translate include Algonquian, Arapaho, Ojibwe and Ottawa.
Cree is a chain of dialects, including Plains, Woods, Swampy, Moose and East Cree, which differ in sounds and vocabulary. It is written in Canadian syllabics and in the Roman alphabet; Plains Cree communities often use Standard Roman Orthography. Tell us the dialect and the writing system your readers use and we will deliver in it.
Canadian official documents are issued in English or French, which we also translate. Cree work is usually community, health and education information, public notices, cultural and language material, and interpreting.
We translate in both directions, including Cree into English or French. 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 Cree translation
For official documents, tell us which institution will receive your Cree 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 Cree 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.
Cree legal translation
Legal translation into and from Cree 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.
