What Is Legal Translation? (new)
Legal translation is the translation of documents with legal force or legal purpose, such as contracts, court filings, certificates, and regulations. It differs from general translation in three ways:
- Terminology precision. Legal terms often have no exact equivalent between legal systems, and a wrong choice can change the meaning of an obligation or right.
- Format and structure. Legal documents follow strict conventions that the translation must preserve.
- The translation may be relied on by courts, government authorities, and other parties, so accuracy is not optional.
For this reason, legal translation should always be handled by translators who combine linguistic skill with legal knowledge, not by general translators or machine translation alone.

Certified Translation, Notarization, and Attestation: What’s the Difference? (new)
Clients often confuse these three. In general:
- Certified translation: a translation accompanied by a signed statement from the translation agency confirming it is complete and accurate.
- Notarization: a notary confirms the identity of signatories or the authenticity of a signature.
- Attestation or legalization: a government authority verifies the document or its stamp so it is accepted in another jurisdiction.
Which of these your document needs depends on the receiving authority. Tell us where the document will be submitted and we will advise on what is required.
Common Legal Translation Mistakes to Avoid (new)
- Using machine translation or untrained bilinguals for contracts and official papers.
- Mistranslated names, dates, and numbers, which can cause rejection by authorities.
- Inconsistent terminology across a long contract or multiple related documents.
- Ignoring format and stamps, which many authorities expect to see reflected in the translation.
- Choosing on price alone, then paying again to correct and resubmit the work.
