Do I need to translate visa stamps from Turkey and Central asian countries?

[deadbird]

As part of "scan all passport pages and translate if not in English/french", I was wondering if stamps from the following countries need translation?

1) Turkey, the script is latin, but there are no english translations on the stamp. See example - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Turkey_Visa_Stamp.jpg

2) Uzbekistan, there is an english translation of "chegara nazorati" -> "border control" with the rest of it being numbers and locations "Tashkent, Uzbekistan". See example - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Uzbekistan_Entry_Stamp_2019.jpg

3) Kazakastan, same thing as Uzbekistan. See example - https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3a/Kazakhstan_passport_stamp.jpg

If not every word in the stamp is in English/French, then the stamp needs a translation

Can you share the source reference for this?

The instructions aren’t super clear but I assume you’ve checked the offices link?

Thanks. Yeah, couldn't figure out from the the text in the link above that every word needed to be translated. Sorry, what did you mean by the "offices link"? The same link that you posted?

I am having trouble digesting that *every non english/french word* needs translation. Take e.g. A schengen visa. There's english, french and a 3rd language maybe Dutch. It seems highly unlikely that IRCC will need it every Dutch word to be translated - https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/schengen_visa_sticker.jpg

Why does everyone keep butchering the name of my country - Kazakhstan?!
To your question: I don't believe it needs translation - there's literally translation in English in the very stamp.

Better to be safe, and assume that. You don't want to wait another 3 months to be told to translate some stamps.

Thanks, that's what I would think a reasonable IRCC officer would expect. The english translation is right next to the Kazakh version and the rest is numbers.
Also, sorry for misspelling Kazakhstan. Beautiful country, really enjoyed my short visit to Almaty.

Meanwhile any pointers for certified translation services, should I need it.?
It's especially difficult to find something for Uzbek and Kazakh.

Hi I am in same situation as you were. My wife's Uzbekistan passport has Uzbekistan and UAE stamps. Have you submitted your application yet? If so, have you done the translation from Uzbek to English? If yes, which translation agency did you use? Thank you in advance.

Are you also searching for a Certified Uzbek translator? I couldn't find any on https://atio.on.ca. Have you found any?

No, I'm done with my oath and passport. If you don't find Uzbek translators on this, try posting in your local Facebook / Next-door groups.
