About us

MENDEE LTD, trading as Central Asia Translations

Formerly MENDEE.DIGITAL LTD — renamed 4 September 2026; Companies House number 14071822 unchanged.

We are a UK translation specialist working for private clients and for immigration and asylum solicitors. Our focus is the languages that generalist agencies cannot reliably handle — Tajik and Uzbek, with Russian alongside — translated in-house by a named translator to the ISO 17100 translate–revise–check workflow, and certified under a real signature. Kazakh, Kyrgyz and Ukrainian are available on request.

Why a specialist, not a generalist

These are scarce languages. There is no DPSI pathway for most of them, and documents move between Latin and Cyrillic scripts across decades of Soviet and post-Soviet administration. Generalist agencies route them through hundred-language menus with no court-ready bench strength. We don’t — this defined set is all we do.

We read the original

Soviet-era civil registry, military booklets, court rulings, religious certificates (nikoh, talok), CIS diplomas and transcripts — translated from source, never back-translated or machine-passed.

Court- and Home-Office-ready

Certification, page numbering, completeness (stamps, seals, marginalia) and translator details match what UKVI caseworkers and HMCTS panels expect.

Named accountability

Every Certificate of Accuracy carries a real signature on company letterhead — not an anonymous agency stamp or an AI disclaimer.

Our process

From enquiry to certified bundle.

Initial enquiry

Email us the document list — no commitment. We typically respond with a quote within one working hour during business hours.

Data Processing Agreement

We sign a UK GDPR-compliant DPA before receiving any client documents. We are prepared to work to your firm’s standard template or to provide our own.

Secure document delivery

Encrypted email, secure file transfer, or your firm’s file-sharing portal. We do not accept client documents via unencrypted consumer apps.

Translation & certification

Your documents are translated by our named UK-based linguist and quality-checked before delivery, to the ISO 17100 translate–revise–check workflow. A Certificate of Accuracy is issued on company letterhead, signed and dated by the company’s certifying signatory, an ITI Affiliate.

Invoice

Itemised per document, addressed to your firm, with 14-day payment terms. No retainer, no minimum. Suitable for legal-aid disbursement claims.

Re-issue if rejected

If a Home Office or Tribunal rejection is attributable to translation quality, we re-issue the translation with a fresh Certificate of Accuracy at no cost.

Scope boundaries

What we don't do.

No immigration advice

We translate documents. We do not advise on immigration routes, applications or prospects — that is qualified legal work for you, not us.

No COI opinion

We do not write Country of Origin Information reports or offer expert opinion. We do source and translate COI materials in our specialist languages for your COI specialist to use.

Human-certified translation

Every certified translation is produced and checked by a human translator and signed by hand. Software may assist with administration — counting pages, preparing a quote — but it does not produce the certified text.

No outsourcing outside the UK

Tajik, Uzbek and Russian are translated by our own UK-based translator, and every translation is certified in the UK by the director, an ITI Affiliate. We do not pass certified work to overseas agencies.
