About the Hiligaynon language.
Hiligaynon, also called Ilonggo, is spoken in the Western Visayas of the Philippines: Iloilo, Negros Occidental, including Bacolod, Capiz and Guimaras, and in parts of Mindanao. It is one of the country's major native languages. It is an Austronesian language written in the Latin alphabet. Other Austronesian languages we translate include Bikol, Filipino, Ilocano and Tagalog.
Hiligaynon is a Visayan language, related to Cebuano and Waray but separate from them. Documents sometimes arrive labelled "Bisaya" or "Visayan", so we check which language it is before quoting. Cebuano has its own page.
Philippine official documents are issued in English or Filipino. Hiligaynon work is usually community and health information, church material, personal letters and statements, and interpreting.
We translate in both directions, including Hiligaynon letters and affidavits into English for use in South Africa. Filipino names are often spelled 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 Hiligaynon translation
For official documents, tell us which institution will receive your Hiligaynon 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 Hiligaynon 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.
Hiligaynon legal translation
