Professional Hawaiian Translation Services

Two document streams absorb most of the Hawaiian-language duty of the State. The Hawaiʻi Public Housing Authority issues tenancy notices and grievance procedures for first-language speakers. The Department of Education builds Hawaiian-medium schooling under Ka Papahana Kaiapuni. Huri Translations prepares wording for the housing authority and for the schools.

Our team writes eligibility findings and inspection notices for county offices in Honolulu. A family follows the wording without a second English version at the kitchen table. Our Hawaiian Pidgin Translation Services handle the creole forms appearing in tenant interviews. Formal ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi wording keeps to the published spelling rules.

Hawaiian-medium schools need student handbooks and parent letters composed in first-language Hawaiian. Our editors follow the orthography set by Hale Kuamoʻo and the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo, because a missing kahakō over a long vowel changes the meaning of a word. Distance-learning families relocated to Las Vegas receive that curriculum in Hawaiian.

Tenancy law and the speech of the ʻohana differ sharply in tone. Our reviewers grew up inside the formal and the everyday forms of Hawaiian, alongside the linguists behind our Samoan Translation Services. County clients across the islands send us their highest-stakes school and housing files.

The 1978 constitutional convention made Hawaiian an official language of the State, alongside English. Ballot information and hearing notices appear in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi under that provision. Our editors draft these documents in step with language revitalization programs rebuilding ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi as a daily medium in the home and the public office.

County clerks in Honolulu send us voter information pamphlets and precinct notices. Older records dropped the diacritics from place names. Our editors restore them against the published gazetteer, because a precinct spelled without its ʻokina names a different locality.

Official place-name restoration forms a second stream. The State returned the ʻokina and the kahakō to road signs and park markers. Our editors check a restored name against Place Names of Hawaii, the 1974 Pukui and Elbert reference, and release the file to a sign shop in Anchorage or a Hawaiian civic club on the mainland.

A gubernatorial proclamation opens in elevated speech and closes in the plain wording of a public notice. Our team drafts the opening and the closing separately, alongside the linguists behind our Māori Translation Services. A Hawaiian civic group in San Diego receives a text usable at the lectern and in the printed program.

Hawaiʻi hospitals and community health centers issue consent forms and discharge instructions in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi on request, under federal language-access rules. Our clinical team writes these documents for a kūpuna following a discharge sheet at home. The dose and the warning signs appear in plain wording, part of our healthcare expertise.

Two medical reviewers check the translated dosage line and the contraindication against the English source. Clinics in Sacramento treating Hawaiian-speaking patients ask for that second check, as island providers do. A wrong number on a prescription label puts a patient at direct risk.

Patient education about chronic illness brings two vocabularies together. The lāʻau lapaʻau heritage of plant medicine names remedies with no counterpart in clinical pharmacology. We draw on traditional medicine specialists trained by practitioners. A brochure on diabetes states the clinical guidance and names the customary practice in use at home.

Telehealth widened these programs. Providers recording video instructions for patients in Long Beach send us their scripts for translation and for spoken delivery. Our healthcare team builds subtitle files timed to the on-screen pharmacist. Our Tongan Translation Services prepare Pacific patient leaflets for clinics with mixed island populations.

A bank issuing deposit agreements and loan terms to Hawaiian-speaking customers translates them for daily use. We prepare those documents, along with fee schedules and privacy notices. The English version keeps its legal force while the Hawaiian version stays plain enough for daily use.

Speakers of ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi in Las Vegas, the city known as the ninth island, manage accounts some 2,700 miles from Honolulu. We translate statements and mortgage paperwork for them. Figures and repayment obligations match in English and in Hawaiian, part of how a bank answers its financial services duties to Pacific Islander clients.

Compounding interest and escrow have no common Hawaiian equivalent. Our linguists supply a literal translation and a short gloss written for a first-time borrower. The contract keeps its force in court. The borrower learns the term at its first appearance.

A bank in Sacramento taking deposits from Hawaiian-speaking customers files the Hawaiian disclosure with its examiner. A second linguist confirms the rate and the penalty against the English original. Our Tongan Translation Services follow that method for the wider Polynesian customer base.

Hawaiʻi courts and the Bureau of Conveyances accept Hawaiian-language exhibits and vital records under two conditions. A sworn statement from the translator accompanies the file. The Hawaiian wording matches the source letter for letter. Huri Translations builds these files to the standard described in notarial documentation and apostille guidance.

Families in Honolulu bring us genealogical records and probate files written in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, along with kuleana title documents. We prepare sworn English versions for use in a courtroom. Diacritics stay on personal and place names throughout. A dropped ʻokina names a different ancestor. A registrar then rejects the chain of title.

An apostille request adds a further step of formality. A birth record or a power of attorney bound for a foreign ministry needs a translation acceptable to the receiving state without query. We write the translator’s attestation in the format expected by that ministry and assemble the whole file. Nobody discovers a missing seal at the counter.

Islanders settling in Salt Lake City need sworn translations of court orders and adoption files. Our Marshallese Translation Services handle the Compact-of-Free-Association communities filing comparable notarial paperwork in the Mountain West.

The State leased the Mauna Kea science reserve to the University of Hawaiʻi in 1968. Observatory programs on the summit publish environmental notices and consultation records for cultural practitioners and for engineers. We write the Hawaiian versions, along with the satellite connectivity material from the ground stations.

When a project touches contested ground, the multi-stakeholder drafting process produces hearing transcripts and position papers. A mistranslated phrase inflames a hearing. Our linguists prepare the submissions of the developer and of the community under our house style sheet.

Hawaiian star names and astrophysical coordinates describe one sky in two systems. Our team writes the Hōkūleʻa wayfinding names beside their catalog designations on an educational panel. Hōkūleʻa itself is the Hawaiian name of Arcturus, the zenith star of the islands.

State offices in Honolulu send us their consultation summaries in draft. The Hawaiian version goes out with the English on facing pages. Our Tahitian Translation Services support the wider Polynesian voyaging community, a network formed around the 1976 Hōkūleʻa voyage to Tahiti.

Community-based subsistence fishing area rules took effect at Hāʻena on Kauaʻi in 2015, the first such area approved by the State. Huri Translations translates that rule book for a konohiki and for a state biologist, under our marine conservation practice. The customary names of fish and reef zones stay unaltered.

Ocean safety bulletins form a second strand. A fishing community on the windward coast of Oʻahu needs the local terms for swell and current inside the warning. We draw on weather and oceanography specialists for the surf and small-craft bulletins issued from Honolulu.

The Hawaiian lunar calendar, kaulana mahina, names tides and fish behavior in terms absent from English. State management plans speak of catch limits and biomass surveys. We set the moon-phase names and the survey figures in facing columns of the management plan. A community meeting then debates the practice and the science from a bilingual document.

Cultural groups in Oceanside teach reef stewardship to children born in California. We supply the Hawaiian glossary for those lessons. Our Fijian Translation Services support partner programs across Melanesia.

Hawaiian genealogy names kalo the elder sibling of the Hawaiian people, through Hāloa. Loʻi kalo restoration grants and water-rights filings open on that genealogy. We translate them within our traditional agricultural knowledge remit. Varietal names and pondfield terms keep their published spellings.

The Waiāhole Ditch decision of 1997 returned stream water to loʻi terraces on windward Oʻahu. A case file of that kind arrives with a hydrology report and community testimony inside it. Growers near Honolulu send us the file whole. We translate the hydrology finding and the kūpuna testimony to a shared deadline.

Customary agronomy keeps its own lexicon. The names of taro varieties and planting moons describe a system older than plantation farming. An extension bulletin dropping those names loses its grower audience. Our editors keep the terms and add the yield measurements expected by a grant officer.

Hawaiian growers in Portland raise kalo in heated greenhouses and ask for bilingual planting guides. Our Rarotongan Translation Services support the wider Cook Islands growing community, a network exporting taro to Auckland.

Evacuation instructions and shelter notices come to us from county emergency managers, along with tsunami and hurricane bulletins. Our disaster response support team keeps Hawaiian alert templates loaded in the county broadcast system.

Emergency managers in Mesa coordinate with island authorities when a Pacific-wide warning issues. A county broadcasts the Hawaiian message within minutes of the order, because a linguist approved the wording during the annual review cycle.

We sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement on the project file at intake. Our secure handling protects the sensitive data and proprietary research entrusted to us by government clients through the full localization cycle. Records never leave our controlled environment in transit or at rest.

Records managers in Dallas and international partners across the Pacific apply one retention standard to administrative files. Our Chuukese Translation Services support Micronesian communities under those protections. A regional response plan goes out in Hawaiian and Chuukese on the county release date.

Public service announcements and museum audio guides need a native voice placing stress and vowel length correctly. A learner repeats a mispronounced kahakō and keeps the wrong word for years. Our Hawaiian voice recording services pair trained narrators with linguistic direction in the booth.

County hearings and school conferences in Honolulu draw on our consecutive and simultaneous interpreters. An interpreter follows the change from statutory phrasing to family speech inside one session.

We produce dubbed narration and synchronized scripts for documentary and classroom video, timed to the frame. An editor checks the spoken Hawaiian against the Hawaiian subtitle line by line. The full catalog of our spoken-word services is at the parent voice recording services hub.

Hawaiian cultural broadcasters in Seattle commission recorded readings and song annotations. Our Pacific voice teams handle neighboring languages, including our Samoan Translation Services. One booking supplies a Hawaiian narrator and a Samoan narrator.
