About the Vietnamese language.
Vietnamese is the official language of Vietnam. It is written in the Latin alphabet with many diacritics, which mark tones and vowel sounds. Changing or dropping a mark can change the meaning of a word.
Diacritics matter. Vietnamese names and words must keep every mark exactly as written. We check them in names and in the final file. Vietnamese names are written family name first. We keep the order and spelling shown on your identity document. Northern and southern Vietnamese differ in some vocabulary. Tell us who will read the text.
Vietnamese to English is usually personal, civil, academic and company documents. English to Vietnamese is usually business, product and marketing content.
Common Vietnamese documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, degree certificates and academic transcripts. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
