Translation Services in Louisiana: Cities and Guidance

Louisiana is the only US state whose private law descends from the civil-law tradition rather than English common law, and its legal vocabulary shows it: estates are "successions", and the state is divided into parishes, not counties. For translations of foreign civil-law documents - French, Spanish, Latin American - that shared ancestry is occasionally useful, and for documents going the other way it is a point to get right.

New Orleans has a large Honduran community, much of it arriving in the rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina, and a long-established Vietnamese community in New Orleans East. Vital records come from the state Vital Records Registry in New Orleans.
