Frequently Asked Questions

What are legal translation services?

Legal translation is the process of converting legal documents from one language to another with absolute accuracy. These translations are carried out by experienced legal translators who ensure terminology, context, and legal validity are preserved. Certified legal translations are crucial for international business, cross-border litigation, and compliance so that sensitive legal information is correctly understood and enforceable in different jurisdictions.

Can I translate a legal document myself?

No! Even if you are bilingual, self-translation is highly discouraged for official purposes. Courts and government bodies require impartial, professionally certified translations to ensure no conflict of interest or inadvertent inaccuracies. Only professional translators with a certified license can provide certified translation, and they have proper knowledge of specific legal phrasing.

How do you select the best legal translation service?

Focus on providers who demonstrate profound expertise in legal matters, hold industry certifications (like ISO), have stringent confidentiality policies, and employ qualified, native-speaking legal linguists. Look for positive reviews from other legal professionals. These qualified matches with Translation.co.uk- your trusted translation agency in Great Britain.

 

Can AI translate a legal document?

While AI and machine translation are improving, they cannot yet grasp the complex nuances, cultural context, and legal precedence embedded in legal texts. For critical legal documents where accuracy is paramount, relying solely on AI is a significant liability. A human expert legal professional should always be involved. At our professional translation company, expert translators use their human expertise with innovative legalese translator tools to accurately translate your legal documents. This approach is not only fast and accurate but also cost-effective.

 

Can a notary translate legal documents?

A notary’s duty is to witness signatures and certify documents’ authenticity, not translate them. They cannot provide a translation unless the notary is also a qualified and accredited professional translator. The two professions are distinct. However, suppose you need a legal translation to be notarised. In that case, we can connect you with our translator, who can visit the Notary Public’s office to sign the Certificate of Accuracy in the presence of a Notary Public, who then attests to the translator’s identity.

How much does it cost to translate a legal document?

The standard pricing of certified legal translation services in London starts from £25/page. Page count, language pair, complexity, and urgency further affect the final cost.
