About the Malayalam language.
Malayalam is the language of Kerala, in south-west India, and of Lakshadweep. It is one of India's 22 scheduled languages and has classical-language status. It is a Dravidian language, related to Tamil, written in its own Malayalam script. Large Malayali communities live in the Gulf states, the United Kingdom and elsewhere.
Malayalam script is complex and needs correct fonts and careful typesetting. We deliver text that has been checked by a native reader, and we keep names consistent with the spelling used in passports and other documents.
We translate in both directions. Malayalam to English work is usually certificates and records from Kerala, including those needed for nursing and health-professional registration abroad. English to Malayalam work is usually information for Malayali communities, employers and health services.
Common documents include birth and marriage certificates, school and university records, land and property documents and court papers. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
