Kazakh interpreting and translation

Kazakh interpreting for industry, law and family matters

In contract negotiations, engineering meetings and site inductions, Kazakhstan's business and legal terminology is often more familiar in Russian, so we can provide an interpreter who moves confidently between Kazakh, Russian and English. Kazakhs from China or Mongolia, on the other hand, may use different loanwords and know little Russian, and we match them with an interpreter who understands their background.

Our Kazakh interpreting services include face-to-face work at meetings, hearings, medical appointments and immigration interviews, telephone interpreting 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and video interpreting through the SILA Linguists® app or your own platform. For investor forums and industry conferences we arrange consecutive and simultaneous interpreters, and remote simultaneous interpreting for hybrid events.

Kazakh translation in Cyrillic, Latin and Arabic script

Kazakh has been written in Cyrillic for decades; Kazakhstan is now moving in phases to a Latin alphabet, and Kazakhs in China use an Arabic-based script. We confirm the target script before starting. Many official documents from Kazakhstan are bilingual in Kazakh and Russian, and we translate whichever version the receiving authority requires.

We translate production sharing and supply contracts, technical manuals, environmental and safety documents, corporate filings, birth and marriage certificates, diplomas and transcripts. Certified Kazakh translation includes a signed statement of accuracy, accepted by UK authorities such as the Home Office, courts and universities, and by employers.

Kazakh transcription

We transcribe Kazakh meetings, interviews and recorded evidence, marking every switch into Russian, and provide time-stamped transcripts with an English translation. Video content for training and corporate communications can be subtitled in Kazakh or English. For mining and energy clients we can build a glossary of site, equipment and safety terms at the start of a project, so interpreters, translators and subtitlers all use the same agreed Kazakh and Russian terminology.
