However, not all documents come through an international firm or agency. Usually, they derive from legal cases and insurance investigations, or they can be personal documents such as birth certificates, academic reports, marriage certificates, divorces certificates and separation agreements. In this sense, a translation company should count on a dedicated team of highly capable translators which carries out your document translation into a multitude of languages.

Since there are many specialised areas of document translation our translation team has worked on thousands of foreign language projects in subjects ranging from law, government, business, insurance, financial and commercial to medical, technical, computing, literature and many others. Some of these translations are really complex and may involve the coordination of a team of translators. Hence it is important to rely upon the skills of highly qualified editors, proofreaders, translators and terminologists who manage glossaries, carrying out frequent updates and revisions, establishing quality procedures and following up changes in medical, technical, financial and legal translation.

One of the most important things in document translation is the confidentiality and trust required. A good translation company understands that some of these documents have legal value and contain important information relating to your company, or personal details that our translators keep entirely confidential. For this reason, translations must be bound by a commercial confidentiality and the company take security issues very seriously.

Authenticity and legalisation of document translation is one of the main aims of a reliable document translation company. People do not often know if translators can make their documents legally valid in other languages and so they call upon a quality translation company to legalise their marriage and divorce documents, among others. In this way, they have to find a trustworthy service that is highly experienced in this field and guarantees the fast turnaround of their official documents, translated and certified for official use in the UK or abroad. The service should provide the certified legal document translation and a Certificate of Accuracy & Witness Statement free-of-charge on request. In addition to certified translations, the service should also help the company’s clients to obtain an apostille in the language they require.

Document translation also requires skilled computing knowledge since clients’ documents can be delivered in various formats such as pdf, ps, dwf, xls, ppt, doc, rt and swf. In this sense, the translators and editors must be extremely adept at retaining and delivering the translated document in the same format as was the original. Thus, whatever the demands may be of your language translation, a professional team should always be there to assist you with your document translation requests.
