Extra translation services for legal documents

Sworn translation

A sworn translation is a type of official translation that is legally certified by a translator who is authorized (or “sworn in”) by a competent authority — typically a court or a government body (in general, the Ministry of Justice). 

When should you choose the Extra Translations Services?

This type of translation carries legal significance and is often required for official documents, such as birth certificates, diplomas, contracts, court rulings, immigration papers, and other official documents.

What can you expect when purchasing a Sworn Translation Package?

Sworn translation differs from standard translation in several key ways:

• Legal Status: Sworn translations have legal validity; standard translations do not.

• Accountability: Sworn translators take legal responsibility for the accuracy of their translations.

• Official Use: Sworn translations are required for legal or official documents; standard translations are typically used for internal or informal purposes.

Certification Requirements: 

Only authorized translators can produce sworn translations, while standard translations can be done by any competent translator.

Audio Visual Translation (Subtitling)

Subtitles are the captions displayed at the bottom of the screen, translated into a target language. They appear and vanish on the screen as the dialogue does.

A subtitler is a linguistic specialist, who translates dialogue into a target language while keeping the meaning and context intact.

Closed captions (CC) and SDH (Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of hearing) are vital for people who are deaf and struggle with hearing. Subtitles provide them with access to important information as well as means of entertainment.
