How Do You Certify a Translation? - Document Translation Services in NYC

 

How do you certify a translation? As one of the best-known document translation services in NYC, our team at Languagers often get asked how we certify translations.  

 

Because of confusion surrounding what a certified translation is, we will look in this article at everything you need to know about how translations are certified and why having documents certified is important. 

 

What is a Certified Translation?   

 

There are lots of reasons why you might need to translate a document.  

 

When conducting business or settling legal affairs with people who do not speak English fluently, translating documents ensures that all parties can come to an agreement quickly. However, if documents are not translated accurately, this can result in confusion and even lawsuits. 

 

In medical contexts, translation errors in documents like patient health records and research papers can also have catastrophic consequences.  

 

Because it is vital that important documents are translated accurately, business professionals, medical professionals, and legal teams go to lengths to always invest in certified translations. 

• For a translation to be considered “certified,” translators who translate documents have to include formal letters with documents that state that they are a qualified translator and that their translated text is 100% accurate. 
• Along with signed formal letters stating that translations are accurate, translators will include a copy of the original document that has been translated. 
• Legally, anyone can certify that a translation they have completed is accurate. However, businesses, medical professionals, and lawyers, usually only source certified translations through agencies which independently check translations before delivering documents back to clients.
