International students from all over the country contact us to learn about our academic document translation services. Our expertise in the area of professional translation services draws the attention of many individuals who need to have their school-related documents translated into English. Many of them have never applied to an educational institution in the United States. Now that they have moved abroad and intend to enroll in a college away from home they need to know how to go about getting their academic documents translated. The translation procedure is a new concept to such students so they want to know the basics.
The first thing international applicants should keep in mind that they do not have to drop the documents off at our office in Los Angeles. This is an important point for students who live far away from LA. Many students who reach out to us express concern about their inability to deliver the original documents in person. However, they do not need to worry about getting the documents to us. They can simply scan all the pages their school requires and send them to us via email. Students who know for sure that the academic institution they are applying to requests the originals can mail us the documents.
Students who have completed some courses in a non-English speaking country and hope to transfer their credits to an American school might have to provide course syllabus in addition to their transcripts. School transcripts usually indicate the course title, the number of units, and year taken. They do not go into depth about the scope of the course. The admissions office might ask for the course syllabus. Such documents can also be submitted to a translation company.
The last thing international students should know about academic translation is that the original document needs to be attached to the translation. Many colleges who take applications from international students would like to review the foreign-language document plus its English translation. Some admissions counselors use the foreign language documents to verify information.
CACFTI knows all about certified translations for educational documents. We have vast experience in the translation of academic records, degrees, syllabus, student ID cards, etc. We have received many inquiries from international students who were interested in getting their foreign-language documents translated into English. Please contact us about our academic document translation services if you are an international student. We are confident in our ability to exceed your expectations.

Anyone who has a contract in English and would like to get it translated into a different language can follow a few simple steps to complete the process. Contracts are crucial in various types of relationships including employer-employee relationships. Employees who have agreed to work based on commission, for example, often have signed a detailed contract. In Los Angeles it is common for non-English speakers to sign such agreements. Non-English speakers rely on translation companies to understand the terms of the agreement before they sign it. The first step to get a contract translated into a foreign language is to find a translation company that offers legal translation services. A commission contract is an important legal document that indicates what percentage the employee will get for his/her work. It is imperative for the employer to consider companies that specialize in legal language.

Translators with a solid background in law and the legal field can usually translate contracts effectively. The second step is to send the translation company the document. Some firms take the original copy such that clients have to deliver the document or mail it to the office. Other organizations accept digital files so their clients can simply scan the pages and email them. The third step is to get a quote and confirm the project. After you have reviewed and approved the service provider’s quote and you can ask about the methods of payment they accept. You would make your payment in cases in which the service requires advanced payment. The fourth step is to get the electronic version to make sure everything is correct. Companies that are dedicated to customer satisfaction commonly provide their clients with the opportunity to review the translated material before they proceed with the hard copy.

The fifth step is to provide the address to which the translated contract has to be mailed. Individuals should also make a note if they require fast shipping. As a reliable company based in Los Angeles, CACFTI offers translation services for legal documents. We truly understand that the translation of a legal document can make a difference in the outcome of a case in court. A contract represents the mutual understanding between two parties and as such must be translated accurately. We would appreciate your consideration if you need to have an agreement translated from English into a foreign language. Please contact us with the detail of your project to get a quote.
