Navajo Language

Navajo, sometimes also spelled as Navaho, is the only Native American language spoken in the U.S with over 100,000 mother-tongue speakers. In fact, the total number of Navajo native speakers across Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado reaches almost 180,000 people, and this number is constantly growing. The Navajo language is so important that it is one of the three languages (along with Spanish and Haitian-Creaole), for which there is a federal certification program under The Court Interpreters Act of 1978 (and its subsequent 1988 amendments). Navajo is widely spoken by the Navajo people (Diné) in the southwest United States. Therefore, translation and interpreting from and into Navajo is always in great demand.

What To Expect from Your Navajo Translator?

When you need something translated to or from Navajo, and you start looking for a translator, there are several things to keep in mind: Your Navajo translator must be a native speaker of the target language (Navajo, English, or whatver other language you are hiring them to translate into). The translator must possess proof of relevant education or certification. Do not hesitate to ask f it. If it is a court interpreting job - they should also be federally certified to perform the job. The situation differs from state to state, but you may read more about the Federal Court Interpreter Certification Examination and the relevant procedures at the US Courts website. Finally, with document translation, it is recommended that the target text (i.e. the actual translation) is proofread by a second mother-tongue professional. Some translation agencies apply an extra fee for this service, but it never hurts asking them about a free proofreading.
