What to check for each language pair.
Tell us the language of the original document and the language needed, plus any established spelling for names, relevant stamps, handwritten entries or specialist terminology. The translation should reflect the source and the intended recipient's requirements.
European languages
For French, Spanish, German, Italian and other European-language records, include accented names, official dates and any reverse-side wording.
Middle Eastern & South Asian languages
For Arabic, Urdu, Hindi and related requests, provide passport spellings for names when the original uses a different script.
Other language routes
If your language is not shown in the popular list, send the document for review with the source and target language stated clearly.
Language, document and intended use are reviewed together.
A certified translation should reflect the complete source document, not just convert individual words. The workflow starts with the actual file and the purpose you identify.
Upload the source
Send a clear scan or photo of every page that needs translation.
Confirm the language pair
State the source language and the language you need the document translated into.
Translate & review
Names, dates, terminology and document details are checked against the source.
Certify & deliver
The completed translation is prepared for the stated use and supplied in the confirmed format.
The document type matters just as much as the language.
A birth certificate, academic transcript, passport and court document all contain different structures and terminology. Use the documents hub for guidance on the record type, and see our certified translation guidance when your recipient requires certification.
- Civil records such as birth and marriage certificates
- Passports, ID documents and immigration-supporting records
- Degrees, diplomas, transcripts and professional records
- Legal, financial and employment documents
Upload the complete document and state the source and target language for review, even if your language does not have a dedicated page.
Language translation FAQs.
Language availability, document type and the receiving organisation’s instructions can all affect the correct route.
Do you translate documents into English?
Yes. Choose the original language above and upload all relevant pages, including legible annotations and stamps. Tell us the English-language recipient and any certification instructions.
Can you translate from English into another language?
Yes, requests from English into another language can be reviewed. The featured cards mainly describe translation into English; specify your exact target language and the receiving organisation when ordering.
What if my language is not listed on this page?
Use the order form and state the source and target languages clearly. The directory covers many dedicated routes, but is not an exhaustive catalogue.
How are names transliterated?
Where a name can be rendered in more than one way, consistency with the passport, application or recipient instructions can be important. Provide the spelling that should be used where relevant.
Can you translate several documents in the same language?
Yes. Multiple documents can be submitted together. Send the complete set so terminology, names and repeated details can be handled consistently across the order.
Do you translate handwritten text, stamps and seals?
Where text is legible and relevant to the document, handwritten entries, stamps, seals and endorsements should be included in the source file so they can be reviewed as part of the translation.
How much does certified translation cost?
Cost depends on the language pair, number of pages, legibility, terminology, delivery deadline and certification requirements. Upload your documents to start an order and provide the recipient's instructions.
Upload the document and state the language pair.
Send the source file, target language, intended use and any recipient instructions together so the translation can be prepared around the actual requirement.
