How we work

Our process in 4 steps

  1. No-obligation quote

    Send us the document you want translated into Fijian. 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 Fijian 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 Fijian translator has completed the text, a second specialist carries out a thorough quality check and revision.

  4. Delivery

    You receive the Fijian translation digitally by email, in the same layout as the original. Certified translations are also sent by registered post where a hard copy is required.

Decision helper

Certified or standard? How to choose the right Fijian translation

  • Choose certified

    When an authority requires an official, certified translation: the Home Office, courts, notaries, registrars or a foreign government. Escalated to notarisation or FCDO apostille where needed.

  • Choose standard

    For business publication, websites, marketing and internal documentation. Faster and without certification, with the same specialist translator.

Not sure? Send your document and we will advise which form the receiving authority expects.

What non-native translators and machine translation miss in Fijian

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

  • Confusion with Fiji Hindi

    Voorbeeld:

    Alongside Fijian, the Indo-Fijian population speaks Fiji Hindi (Fiji Hindustani); a single set of documents may appear in both languages plus English.

    Onze aanpak:

    We establish the source language first, before we pair you with a translator.

  • English as the document language

    Voorbeeld:

    In Fiji, English is often the official document language of government, education and the courts. A document 'from Fiji' is not automatically 'in Fijian'.

    Onze aanpak:

    We assess the source document and confirm the actual source language in the quote.

  • Distinct letter values

    Voorbeeld:

    Fijian spelling uses distinct sound values: c is /ð/ and b, d, g and q are prenasalised. A literal letter-for-letter reading produces errors.

    Onze aanpak:

    We work with a translator who commands the Fijian orthography.

  • Mixed dialects

    Voorbeeld:

    Marked differences between east and west, and between islands, make an arbitrary choice of variant risky.

    Onze aanpak:

    By default we choose Bauan; where you need a specific island dialect we confirm it up front in the quote.

Wereldwijde dekking

Waar Fijian wordt gesproken

Fijian is not the only language of Fiji. Alongside Fijian, the Indo-Fijian population speaks Fiji Hindi, and English is often the official document language of government, education and the courts. A document 'from Fiji' is therefore not automatically 'in Fijian'. We establish the source language first and select standard Bauan as the target variant unless you need a specific island dialect.

Does a Fijian translation always need to be certified?
No. Certified translation in Fijian is uncommon in the UK context, and for most documents a professional translation is enough. Where an authority asks for official acceptance, our Fijian translation agency provides certified translation — a signed statement of accuracy from the translator or the agency — which can be escalated to notarisation by a solicitor or notary public, or to an apostille or legalisation through the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). We confirm the level your receiving body requires in the quote.
My document comes from Fiji — is it automatically in Fijian?
Not necessarily. In Fiji, English is often the official document language of government, education and the courts, and the Indo-Fijian population speaks Fiji Hindi. We therefore establish the source language of your document first, before we pair you with a translator, so the right specialist handles the right language.
Which variant of Fijian does Ecrivus work in?
By default we work in the Bauan dialect, which serves as the official variant and lingua franca. If you need a Western Fijian or island-bound dialect, we confirm that variant up front in the quote and select a translator accordingly. Fijian spelling also carries distinct letter values, so we work with a translator who commands the orthography.
How quickly will I receive a quote for a Fijian translation?
On working days you receive a quote within 1 hour. The lead time for the translation itself depends on document type, volume, language pair and any required certification, and is confirmed in the quote rather than promised as a fixed turnaround.
Which Fijian documents are most commonly translated?
Common cases are birth, marriage and death certificates, diplomas and transcripts, family documents for the diaspora, and business or NGO material for the South Pacific. UK-specific cases we handle include Home Office and UKVI immigration documents and university admissions assessed by UK ENIC. We confirm the approach and any certification per document in the quote.
Why choose a Fijian translation agency instead of finding a freelance translator yourself?
A Fijian translation agency takes the coordination off your hands. We establish the source language, choose the right variant, arrange certification or an FCDO apostille where an authority requires it, and keep the scheduling on track. You keep one point of contact for variant, terminology 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.
