Define the purpose and recipient
Explain whether the translation is for reviewing a document, preparing a submission or communicating with another party. Provide any instructions from the solicitor, court or receiving organisation. These requirements can affect the format and certification requested. Translation is a language service and does not replace advice on the legal effect of a document.
Keep document sets together
Contracts, correspondence, statements and supporting certificates can refer to schedules, annexes or earlier versions. Identify the final version and include the attachments that need translation. If only an extract is required, specify the pages and tell us how it will be used, rather than assuming that an incomplete document will be sufficient for the recipient.
Terminology and consistency
Share relevant reference material or an existing agreed terminology list when requesting a quotation. Identify repeated party names, defined terms and document references. A consistent translation still needs to reflect distinctions in the source; terms should not be changed merely to make a foreign document sound as though it belongs to a different legal system.
Sensitive material and practical preparation
Use the secure quotation form for the material needed to assess the assignment. Tell us about handling restrictions before uploading a large bundle. Ensure scans are legible and page numbering is clear. A damaged page, unclear handwriting or missing attachment may need clarification before the scope can be finalised.
Certification and deadlines
Certification, formatting and delivery requirements are assessed with the document. Notarisation or other authentication should not be assumed to be included. Legal material can require manual review before the price and timing are confirmed. Share the actual deadline at the start, particularly where a submission depends on receiving the completed translation.
From enquiry to delivery
- Upload the material and explain its intended use and your deadline.
- Review the quotation, confirmed scope and turnaround.
- Approve and pay through the secure payment process.
- The translation is prepared and reviewed before secure delivery.
Frequently asked questions
Does a certified translation provide legal advice?
No. It communicates the source content and may include agreed translation certification. Questions about legal rights, procedure or the effect of a document should go to an appropriate adviser.
Can I send a document bundle?
Request a quotation for the complete bundle and identify the files and pages that need translation. Include relevant delivery and recipient requirements.
