About the Kabyle language.
Kabyle (Taqbaylit) is spoken in Kabylie, in northern Algeria, including Tizi Ouzou and Béjaïa, and by a large Kabyle community in France. It is the most widely spoken Berber language of Algeria. Tamazight, the Berber language family, is an official language of Algeria alongside Arabic. Other Afro-Asiatic languages we translate include Central Atlas Tamazight, Tarifit (Riffian), Tashelhit and Hausa.
Kabyle is usually written in the Latin alphabet, with letters such as ɛ, ɣ and č, and sometimes in Tifinagh. It is related to the Berber languages of Morocco but has its own vocabulary and spelling, so we use a Kabyle translator for Kabyle readers. Other Berber varieties are on our Berber page.
Algerian official documents are issued in Arabic or French, which we also translate. Kabyle work is usually cultural and community material, personal letters and statements, and interpreting for interviews and hearings.
We translate in both directions, including Kabyle into English or French. Algerian 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 Kabyle translation
For official documents, tell us which institution will receive your Kabyle 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 Kabyle 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.
