Certified Translations

Certified translation services

A certified translation is a translated document such as a birth certificate or academic transcript which includes a certification or sworn statement from a certified translator attached. A certified translator is an individual who possesses the necessary skills and qualifications to translate written documents or spoken words from one language into another, as acknowledged by a government agency or other organization. At Linguation, we provide top-quality certified translation services to ensure accurate and legally recognized translations. Our team of certified translators delivers precise and reliable translations for a variety of documents, including legal, medical, and official paperwork.

Certified translation: How much does it cost?

Just as the documents to be translated vary in scope and degree of difficulty, so do the prices for the corresponding translation. It is also important to consider that the price of each translation will be dependent on the type of language required by the target audience. For instance, there will be an abundance of certified translators available for translating a document into English or Spanish. However, it becomes difficult to find a translator for infrequently used languages such as Dari or Latvian, where translations naturally become more expensive.

A professional translation agency will calculate the price of a translation per word or line of the original text. This calculation is based on a standard line that contains 50 to 55 characters including spaces. It does not simply count the lines of the original layout. This would be unfair if, for example, the document has many headings that contain fewer than 55 characters but are calculated as a standard line. Instead, the translator divides the number of characters in the entire document by a factor of 55. This results in the number of standard lines, which are then multiplied by the line price.

When calculating the price of certified documents, the following factors play a role:

• Language combination
• Size of document
• Subject area or degree of difficulty of the text
• Complexity of formatting
• Desired delivery date (e.g. express translation)
