Legal Document Translation California

Legal Translation Overview

Individuals who are looking for a translation completed by a legal translator often need important documents such as contracts, powers of attorney, leases, and court orders translated from a foreign language to English or vice versa. They might be working for a law office or the legal department of an organization. They could also be private parties that are need a legal document translated for their personal use. Even if they speak the target language they might be hesitant to translate legal text themselves because their understanding is that the translator needs to have certain qualifications and have extensive experience in legal translation. In addition, they might be planning to submit the translation to a party that requires the translation to be completed by a professional translation services provider. Many organizations such as degree evaluation service providers, courts, law firms, and medical offices expect foreign language documents to be translated into English by professional legal translators.

What Legal Translators Do

Legal translators usually hold a degree in legal translation and have been trained to translate legal terminology from the source language into the target language. They commonly have been trained to translate legal text such as licensing agreements, deeds, non-disclosure agreements, and employment contracts. They often specialize in a specific area of law. They might have experience translating official transcripts and degrees issued by law schools as well as statutes and codes, bylaws, etc. When they translate a legal document they use their knowledge and expertise in the field of legal translation to deliver accurate and well-written translations.

Who Needs a Legal Translator

Individuals who are completing immigration applications and need to have a legal document translated often require the services of legal translation services providers that meet the requirements of USCIS.

We can translate legal text and other types of documents.
