Certified translations by professionals

Wherever justice is dispensed or an official process is being tried, the certified translation of a sworn/publicly appointed specialist translator is needed. Certified translations equate to official legal documents which can themselves be the object of legal disputes.

Translations with or without certification – what is the difference?

At Lingua-World, we produce translations of all text types into and from all languages. If you need a certified translation, the text is not only translated carefully from the source language to the target language, the finished translation is also certified. This means that a certified translation is only legally sound when it is produced by a specialist translator (sworn) or interpreter (sworn).

Sworn translators from Lingua-World produce official and legal translations into languages such as Russian or English and create translations from German to Ukrainian and all other languages. They are well versed in the terminology and authorised to certify their translation in a manner suitable for court.

Frequently asked questions about certified translation

When our sworn translators produce specialist legal translations, that is to say certified translations of deeds and documents for use in court or by public authorities, it is usually a matter of vital importance.

At this point we would therefore like to address important questions that we are often asked in connection with legal translations by our sworn translators.

1. How does Lingua-World ensure that the certified translation is legally exact?

Specialist legal translations are produced exclusively by native speakers who possess the required legal expertise and have been authorised to certify their translations by a court.

In this case, “expertise” means that the specialist legal translators are familiar with the legal procedures and the differences in phrasing between the various legal systems and languages.

They undertake to produce an accurate, complete and technically correct translation. We have the certificates of appointment of our legal translators so that we at Lingua-World can guarantee you the correct legal translation/certified translation at any time.

2. How can I tell if it’s a certified translation?

The sworn translator applies their stamp and signature to confirm the certified translation, and further details pertaining to the languages and place of jurisdiction are added. Translations by specialised translators from Lingua-World translations are also certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001 and DIN EN ISO 17100.

3. How long does the translation take and how long is the certification valid?

The duration of the translation depends on your request and the availability of sworn translators for the requested languages. We guarantee quick and purposeful processing of your order. There are no restrictions on the validity of the certification unless the public authority or court expressly requests a current translation and certification.

4. What does a certified legal translation cost?

The costs depend on the work involved and the language combination selected. Please contact us to obtain a binding quote before placing your order.

We are also happy to support lawyers who regularly require officially certified translations for acceptance of mandates by producing such texts quickly and reliably and creating a file with your mandate-specific terminology, which we constantly update.
