When it comes to a document translation service, you want to know that you are in the safest of hands – and that your translation will be perfect. That’s why many clients choose a certified document translation service, both to meet legal requirements in particular situations or for their own peace of mind. Read on to find out exactly what certified translation entails, why it is crucial in certain circumstances, and what makes Capital Linguists stand out as a leading provider.
What is a ‘certified translation’?
A certified translation includes a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. This certification adds a layer of credibility and can be a legal requirement for many types of documents, such as those submitted to government bodies, educational establishments, or legal documents. Capital Linguists’ extensive network of translators and interpreters comprises highly skilled certified translators across all of its 200+ languages. This means that whatever the purpose of your document, you can be sure your translation will be unrivaled in its accuracy with our certified document translation services.
Our team of qualified human translators
Capital Linguists is immensely proud of its team of highly skilled, accredited human translators. The key to our success lies in the fact that each member of our team is a native speaker of the target language, bringing not only linguistic expertise but also an unrivaled understanding of the cultural subtleties that underpin our understanding. What’s more, at Capital Linguists, we select the translator with the most appropriate background for your document. So, if you require a certified legal translation, we’ll assign one of our many legal translators. If it’s an educational document, don’t worry – we have a whole host of native translators with pedagogical expertise.
This approach ensures each translation resonates perfectly, as well as that it features the most appropriate terminology and phrasing for its specific context. That’s why we are proud of our certified translation services – as well as the fact that we are ISO 9001 registered. This accreditation allows our clients the peace of mind that they have chosen an agency with an unwavering focus on achieving top-tier industry standards.
At Capital Linguists, we only use human translators. This is extremely important and directly impacts your translation. That’s because, unlike machine translation tools, our human translators tailor their approach to every single project. They spend time learning about and understanding the context and purpose of your documents. This meticulous approach preserves the tone and style of the original content, while also ensuring the documents translated match the conventions and format required.
When you choose Capital Linguists for your certified document translation service, you can trust that your documents are in the hands of dedicated professionals who take pride in delivering impeccable results every single time.
Our approach to translating legal documents and contracts
There are few areas where a mistranslation has greater consequences than in the world of legal translation. That’s why Capital Linguists’ approach to legal translation is rooted in precision and expertise. Among our extensive network of certified translators, we have many linguists with extensive legal knowledge, enabling impeccable translations where term and clause is accurately conveyed. They also ensure compliance with the legal protocols in the target language.
Many translations of legal documents and contracts need to be certified. Such translations must adhere to specific guidelines. A certified translation helps ensure there are no delays or rejections by the relevant authorities.
Confidentiality is our priority at Capital Linguists, giving our clients the peace of mind they need when sensitive information is being translated. That’s why we work with some of the leading law firms in the United States, who trust us to deliver complete and accurate legal translations, where confidentiality and security are non-negotiable priorities.
How we translate technical texts
Our approach to technical texts does not differ in terms of the way we prioritize accuracy, relevance and faithfulness to the original. However, there are some differences in the requirements involved. Namely, technical translations often require a translator who is specialized in a particular lexical field, which is why we have an extensive network of translators equipped with a range of different terminologies and areas of expertise. Some areas where we have translators with specialisms in specific technical fields include:
- Engineering
- IT and technology
- Medicine
- Manufacturing
- Pharmaceuticals.
These translations can still be certified in a similar way to a legal translation. However, a technical translation is more likely to be certified for accuracy, whereas the certification process for a legal translation may be bound by legal requirements.
