About the Ojibwe language.
Ojibwe (Anishinaabemowin) is spoken around the Great Lakes and westward: in Ontario and Manitoba in Canada, including the area around Thunder Bay, and in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and North Dakota in the United States. It belongs to the Algonquian branch of the Algic family, related to Cree, which has its own page. Other Algic languages we translate include Arapaho and Ottawa. We also translate Apache and Athapascan, other languages of North America.
Ojibwe has several dialects, including Odawa and Oji-Cree in some classifications. It is usually written in the Roman alphabet with the double-vowel system, and in northern Ontario also in Canadian syllabics. Tell us which community and writing system your readers use and we will follow it.
Official documents in Canada and the United States are issued in English (and in Canada also French), which we also translate. Ojibwe work is usually community, health and education information, cultural and language material, signage, and interpreting.
We translate in both directions, including Ojibwe into English. 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 Ojibwe translation
For official documents, tell us which institution will receive your Ojibwe 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 Ojibwe 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.
