Kayah Li, Latin, or Burmese script — we confirm before we start.
Kayah Li has its own alphabet, devised in the twentieth century, alongside Latin- and Burmese-based orthographies. Our Karenni linguists translate, localize, and certify documents with the variant and register your readers expect.
How Karenni shows up in the work.
Karenni (Kayah Li) is spoken by the ethnic Karenni people of Kayah State, Myanmar. Many speakers were resettled in the US after years in Thai refugee camps — we staff interpreters from the same communities.

What Karenni translation demands.
Kayah Li has its own alphabet, devised in the twentieth century, alongside Latin- and Burmese-based orthographies. Literacy varies across communities, so we confirm which orthography the audience actually reads — and often recommend spoken-word formats over print.
How we handle Karenni

- Native-speaker linguists with domain expertise
- Typography and layout checked in final files
- Certificate of accuracy available on request
Three ways we deliver Karenni translation.
Karenni ↔ English documents by domain specialists — medical records, contracts, school files, technical manuals.
A second linguist reads every delivery before it leaves.
Websites, apps, and product copy adapted for Karenni-speaking readers — variant, register, and layout together.
Not a word-swap. The page has to work in the language, not just contain it.
USCIS-accepted, court-ready Karenni translations, delivered with a signed certificate of accuracy.
We confirm the variant before we start so the certificate matches the reader.
