From passports to birth certificates to court records, many different texts are classified as official legal documents. As such, these sorts of projects call for the enlistment of legal document translation services by a verified professional from a reputable agency.
Expert Legal Document Translation Services
At ABS Translations, we’re proud to provide a team of thoroughly vetted translators with the specialized expertise needed to handle even the most complex requests. For legal documents in particular, we make sure our translators meet all of the following criteria.
- The legal field involves a range of technical and formal terminology, so much that some even consider it a language of its own — “legalese.” Thus, it’s essential to select a translator with a solid working knowledge of concepts that may be discussed in law-related documents.
- They’ll also need to have native-level mastery of the specified source and target languages, enabling them to preserve the nuanced meaning of phrases throughout.
- Finally, the translator must know and adhere to the appropriate formatting rules. For a passport or birth certificate, for example, the order in which the month and date should be written will vary by country.
If a translator lacks either relevant linguistic or subject matter expertise, or if they fail to properly format the document, it can negatively impact the accuracy and quality of the returned translation.
In a courtroom setting, translation errors may interrupt proceedings and lead to an unprofessional appearance. In a personal immigration context, they could result in rejection or delayed acceptance of one’s application. With all of this at stake, it’s best to do things right the first time around by enlisting the proven team at ABS to complete your translation with the utmost skill and attention to detail.
