As part of our expansion into Bengali (Bangla) language coverage, we're looking for a Legal Bengali Translator to review and certify translations of civil, court, and immigration documents from Bengali into English (and vice versa as needed). This is a reviewer role: you'll work from AI-assisted first drafts and apply the linguistic precision and legal accuracy required for official filings.

Verify names, dates, and numeric data are transcribed exactly as they appear in source documents, applying standard transliteration conventions
Sign certification statements attesting to translation accuracy and completeness in accordance with USCIS requirements (8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3))
Preserve original document layout and formatting in the certified translation
Flag documents with ambiguous terminology, regional dialect variation, or unclear source content for additional review
Meet stated turnaround windows for standard, express, and rush orders

What we're looking for

Native or near-native fluency in Bengali (Bangla) and professional fluency in English
Demonstrated experience translating legal, civil, or immigration-related documents
Strong working knowledge of certified translation standards and certification statement requirements for US immigration and court use
Meticulous attention to detail, especially with proper nouns, dates, and official terminology
Ability to work independently against deadlines ranging from same-day to 48-hour turnarounds
Familiarity with Bangladeshi civil registry documents, academic transcripts, and court record conventions

Nice to have

Prior experience as a certified or sworn translator
Experience with Punjabi, Hindi, or other South Asian language pairs
