About the Dzongkha language.
Dzongkha is the national language of Bhutan. It is a Tibetic language, related to Tibetan, and is written in the Tibetan script. Bhutan also uses English widely in government, education and business. Other Sino-Tibetan languages we translate include Newar, Tamang, Burmese and Cantonese.
Dzongkha and Tibetan share a script and much of their written heritage, but they are different languages with different vocabulary and spelling. A Bhutanese document needs a Dzongkha translator; Tibetan has its own page.
We translate in both directions. Dzongkha to English work is usually civil documents, academic records and official correspondence. English to Dzongkha work is usually public information, tourism and business content.
Many Bhutanese official documents are issued in English as well as Dzongkha; we translate only the parts you need. Bhutanese names are transliterated in more than one way, so we keep them consistent with the passport or other documents you supply. 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 Dzongkha translation
For official documents, tell us which institution will receive your Dzongkha 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 Dzongkha 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.
Dzongkha legal translation
Legal translation into and from Dzongkha 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.
