This is why your text will always be translated by a legal translator who is fully proficient in using the right terminology and style for legal documents. As a legal translation agency, we have a wealth of experience in financial translations, translating manuals, contracts and annual reports.

Legal translation of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The General Data Protection Regulation is part of European legislation that is aimed at maintaining privacy and safeguarding personal information. The GDPR impacts every single company that collects personal information in the European Union. As of 25 May 2018, the entirety of the EU has the same privacy legislation. As a result of the GDPR, certain conditions or privacy statements are no longer sufficient.
This new legislation therefore also impacts your own legal documents. In some cases, you will need to draw up new documents, or amend existing ones. If they were already translated previously, they will have to be translated once again. This may result in you having to compile and translate your general terms and conditions again. You can read about what steps to take in order to properly prepare your multilingual documents here.
Non-disclosure agreement applies
Every translation project is subject to a non-disclosure agreement (see our general terms and conditions). Having us sign an additional or alternative non-disclosure agreement is possible in mutual consultation. We know that many of our clients’ projects have to meet strict deadlines. This is why we will always strive to answer any and all questions promptly. Additionally, we will always provide very clear communication about our deadlines, delivery times and rates in our quotations.

Frequently asked questions
A certified translation has to meet several strict requirements. For example, the text must be translated by an experienced translator and checked by a second, independent reviewer. This check safeguards the quality of our translations. A certified translation will not feature a declaration, signature or stamp.
A sworn translation is a translation that is certified by a translator who has been sworn in by a court for a specific language pair (on the basis of training and experience). The translator certifies the translation by physically attaching it to the original document, declaring that the translation is correct and complete in their estimation, and adding their signature and stamp.
A sworn translation is virtually only required for legal reasons. When in doubt, we recommend that you verify with whatever party requesting a sworn translation that such a translation is absolutely necessary. Sometimes a translation agency's stamp will suffice. There are many excellent translators who have decided not to be sworn in. It must be said, though, that a translator is sworn in based on demonstrable proficiency and training.
Yes, we provide sworn translations for a variety of companies on a regular basis. We do not have sworn translators for every language pair. Whether we can provide a sworn translation depends on translator availability.
A certified or sworn translation is a translation that is completed by a sworn translator. This person is sworn in and listed in the Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators by the courts of law, whereby the translation is always legally valid.
Translation technology for legal translations
Translation memory
Our translation memory software can recognise repeated and previously translated texts. This increases the consistency of the translation and prevents extra costs. Previously translated texts are saved in the translation memory. Each client has their own translation memory.
Terminology list
If a specific translation or tone of voice is requested, this can be stored in the terminology list. These translations will then be suggested to the translator during the translation process. This improves the consistency of the translation and allows for special requests to be accommodated.
Quality control
In addition to a second check by a human translator, we apply an automatic quality control check. This includes stylistic improvements as well as a spell check and overall translation review. This aids the translator and revisor to better find mistakes in the texts as well as to improve the consistency of the translation.
