Law firms in Los Angeles that handle commercial litigation cases often assist parties who have been accused of breaching a contract. Such lawsuits commonly arise in joint ventures when one party alleges that the other party has not lived up to the terms of the agreement. Joint ventures between an American entity and a foreign one always require clear communications. This point is of particular importance when disputes are taken to court. Lawyers need to submit a copy of the contract and its certified translation to the court.

How Are Translations Certified for Courts?
Translators who are approved by courts to translate foreign language documents translate the material in question and attach their signed certification. Companies that offer court-certified translations usually also provide their own certification and stamp all the pages. Courts in many parts of the United States require the translator to use a special wording on their declaration. We have translated many documents for federal and state courts. We would be pleased to have the opportunity to work on your documents as well.

Translation of Contracts and other Legal Documents
The translation of a contract is an integral part of a lawsuit regarding breach of contract. While a decent translation delivers the message of the agreement, an excellent translation conveys the exact intention of the parties that drafted the contract. Translators with deep knowledge of legal terminology are familiar with the language of contracts and can translate the terms spelled out in the document properly. Legal translators at California Center for Translation & Interpretation recognize the importance of quality translations in the courtroom. Litigations due to breach of contract are already stressful. Translators who have taken part in such cases often do their best to minimize language barriers so that all the parties involved can use the translations to strengthen their position. They spend a lot of time polishing their translations to make sure they got everything accurately. Our translators rely on their rich experience in the legal field to deliver top-quality translations for your agreements and other legal documents.

Not all documents that are presented in Los Angeles courts are legal in nature. Sometimes other types of documents such as bank statements are used in lawsuits. When financial documents are in a language other than English parties involved seek certified translations for courts. Plaintiffs usually select the parts of the document to use in court. Financial statements can be lengthy but not all the text is always relevant to the lawsuit. In some cases lawyers who are handling the case do not speak a second language and hence get everything translated so that they can figure out what part is relevant.

Let us assume that you are planning to submit to a court in Los Angeles a bank statement from Mexico translated from Spanish to English as a part of your evidence for a case. This Spanish-language document would have to be court certified before you can submit it to the courts. A statement coming from a financial institution is not filled with legal terminology. It is not a contract or bylaws of an entity. Nevertheless, it can be presented in a court if the amount of a transfer or total balance is in question.

Translators who handle the translation of court documents must be accurate and provide high-quality translations. If they are translating financial documents they must type in the correct numbers. Failure to translate every part correctly can have grave consequences. Bank statements are often filled with words and numbers. Therefore, they require the attention of translators who are good at translating words and punching in numbers.

Our translators who are approved to execute the translation of documents for courts are ready to assist you.

When we receive a financial statement in Spanish or any other foreign language for a client who will be taking the translations to court, we do our best to select a translator whose background and skills are closely related to the financial field.

Our Spanish translators, for instance, have seen many bank statements and translated financial documents and can handle the translation of your financial documents. We usually do not convert currencies from pesos to U.S. dollars because currency exchange rates might vary from day to day so the exchange rate on the date on which the documents were prepared could be different from that on the date the translations were prepared. However, if you want us to use the exchange rate of a specific day, please let us know. We can translate statements issued by banks in any Spanish-speaking country such as Peru, Guatemala, Spain, Chile, and Argentina. Please reach out to us and ask about our court-certified translation services for your foreign-language documents.
