A court-certified translation is one that meets the requirements of judicial council. For legal purposes foreign language documents must be translated in a certain way. Translators who have been certified by American courts often have passed exams that gauge their fluency in the language pair they work in. Some states do not administer tests so they only request translators to register with courts. Translators who complete the process and have been approved can offer certified translations for courts. They are familiar with the courts’ policies and translate documents, preparing the final version to adhere to those guidelines. They sign their declaration and attach it to the translation that is going to a court.

Before they start providing court-certified translation services they examine the document to make sure they are familiar with the subject matter. For example, if a medical document needs to go to court the court-certified translator will review the text to make sure translating the terminology is within his/her abilities. They will only take the task if they feel that they are fully comfortable translating the medical language. A medical document such as an autopsy report or hospital bill is often filled with technical terms such that only medical translators who specialize in the field can perform a satisfactory translation. Such translators understand the importance of the document they are asked to translate because the choice of words often make a difference in the outcome of the case.
