We don’t just focus on translating the words of the document or text. We consider these things as well:
– Jurisdictional influences on formatting, syntax, and vocabulary
– Practice-area specific influences on formatting, syntax and vocabulary
– The intended purpose of the text and how style and word selection can influence it
– The audience of the translation and the influence of cultural considerations on word selection
We offer the option for you to have a certified, sworn, notarised or legalised (Apostille) translation. These are provided by a team of translators that have been rigorously vetted by us and their qualifications verified. We ask in the case of certification, to contact us regarding the type of certification you need. Such translations have an additional cost of 3-16% of the initial translation quote.
Upon request, we can translate up to 12,000 words per day by a human translator, and up to 50,000 words per day for machine translations with light review.
