    Send us the document you want translated into Bengali. You receive a competitive quote within 1 hour on working days. Short lines, one dedicated project manager who is there for you.

  2. Assigning a translator

    One of our specialist Bengali translators gets to work. For certified translations, a professional translator who issues a certified statement of accuracy; for business, technical, legal or medical texts, a specialist from that field.

  3. Translation, QA and revision

    Once the experienced Bengali translator has completed the text, a second specialist carries out a thorough quality check and revision.

  4. Delivery

What non-native translators and machine translation miss in Bengali

Many teams speak good Bengali and AI tools translate in seconds. Yet in business, legal and medical Bengali texts, non-native translators and machine translation make the kind of mistakes that cost you credibility or legal validity. A few examples we prevent:

  • Broken conjuncts in the script

    Voorbeeld:

    The Bengali script is an abugida with many ligatures (juktakkhor); the wrong font or encoding garbles compound characters.

    Onze aanpak:

    We process Bengali text Unicode-correct and check the rendering of conjuncts and inherent vowels at review.

  • Inconsistent transliteration of names

    Voorbeeld:

    Names such as Mohammad/Muhammad/Mohammed or Rahman/Rohman are romanised in different ways; on official documents the spelling must match the passport exactly.

    Onze aanpak:

    We take the exact spelling of names from your source document and passport and confirm it for bodies such as the Home Office or General Register Office.

  • Sylheti requested as "Bengali"

    Voorbeeld:

    An applicant asks for a Bengali translation when the source document or speaker is in fact Sylheti — a markedly different variant.

    Onze aanpak:

    We confirm up front which variant is needed and pair you with a translator who has the right expertise.

  • Register and country of origin mixed

    Voorbeeld:

    The formal sadhu register, the tui/tumi/apni distinction and Bangladesh-versus-India loanwords within one text read as untidy to the intended reader.

    Onze aanpak:

    We set register and country of origin per project so that word choice and forms of address fit your reader, and confirm them in the quote.

Wereldwijde dekking

Waar Bengali wordt gesproken

Bengali is not a single market. Standard Bengali from the Kolkata region forms the written language, but Sylheti — dominant in the British diaspora and common among asylum applicants — differs sharply and is often treated as a separate language. Vocabulary also diverges between Bangladesh, with its Arabic and Persian loanwords, and India, with its Sanskrit borrowings. We match variant, register and terminology to your reader and confirm that choice up front in the quote.

Does Ecrivus provide certified Bengali translations?
Yes. As a Bengali translation agency we provide certified translation — a signed and dated statement of accuracy from the translator or the agency, with our contact details — for use with the Home Office, UKVI, courts and diploma assessments. Where a receiving body asks for more, this can be escalated to notarisation by a solicitor or notary public, or to an apostille or legalisation through the FCDO. The pool of Bengali specialists is smaller than for the major European languages, but we arrange the certification for you and confirm the level your authority requires in the quote.
What is the difference between standard Bengali and Sylheti?
Standard Bengali is based on the Nadia dialects around Kolkata and is the written language. Sylheti, spoken in north-east Bangladesh and the Barak Valley and dominant in the British diaspora, differs so sharply that it is often regarded as a separate language. We confirm up front which variant your document or speaker requires and pair you with a translator who has the right expertise.
Which document types are most commonly translated into or from Bengali?
Common document types are civil-status documents (birth, marriage and death certificates), single-status declarations for family reunification, diplomas for UK ENIC assessment, medical intake records and case files, and trade contracts with the textile and clothing sector in Bangladesh. UK-specific cases we handle often are Home Office and UKVI immigration papers and HMCTS court documents. We confirm the approach and any certification per document in the quote.
How quickly will I receive a quote for a Bengali translation?
On working days you receive a quote within 1 hour. The lead time for the translation itself depends on document type, volume, variant and any required certification, and is confirmed in the quote. For tight deadlines we confirm a workable rush schedule up front rather than promising a fixed turnaround.
How does Ecrivus handle the Bengali script and names on official documents?
We process the Bengali script Unicode-correct, so that conjuncts and ligatures (juktakkhor) render properly. We take names exactly as they appear in your source document and passport, because bodies such as the Home Office require a consistent match between documents. Where romanisation is uncertain we confirm the spelling with you before delivery. For overseas use you can have a document legalised through the FCDO at [GOV.UK — Get a document legalised](https://www.gov.uk/get-document-legalised).
Which professional bodies do you reference for Bengali translation?
We work with native specialist translators and reference the recognised UK professional bodies — the ITI (Institute of Translation and Interpreting), the CIOL (Chartered Institute of Linguists) and, for interpreting, the NRPSI (National Register of Public Service Interpreters). These are bodies of reference for the profession; we name them so you can see the standard the work is held to.
Why choose a Bengali translation agency instead of finding a freelance translator yourself?
A Bengali translation agency takes the coordination off your hands. We select the specialist who fits your document and variant, arrange certification, notarisation or legalisation where an authority requires it, and have the work checked by a second reviewer. You keep one point of contact for variant, terminology, scheduling and delivery, all under a single quote. A skilled freelance translator does excellent work too; the difference an agency adds is bringing those moving parts together so you are not managing them separately — which matters all the more for a language where Sylheti and standard Bengali must be told apart.
