Could you tell me more about certified (sworn) French translations?

It is a legal requirement that any French documents to be submitted to official authorities, register offices, universities, notaries, courts, or solicitors must be either written in French or translated into French by a sworn translator. Similarly, any document written in a foreign language and required by an official authority must be accompanied by a certified (sworn) translation. These translations must be performed by linguists authorized by the Ministry of Justice, who are known as “Expert Translators before the Court of Appeal” or sworn translators. These professionals possess the authority to translate and authenticate the accuracy of a translation. At Translate Fast Ltd, we have authorized French translators who can provide certified (sworn) translations of your documents for submission in France.

French translation versus French localisation and transcreation: what’s the difference?

It is important for businesses seeking to expand their reach to understand the differences between translation and localisation in French.

Translation is the process of converting one language into another, such as translating written correspondence from English to French. Localisation, on the other hand, involves adapting a product or content to align with the cultural norms and customs of the country where it will be marketed. While translation conveys basic information, localisation provides the context necessary for a comprehensive understanding of the message.

In addition to translation and localisation, businesses can also opt for transcreation, a more creative approach that adapts the text to the target language and culture while preserving the original text’s tone and intent.

Is there a company that offers the best French document translation services?

Translation agencies that employ native speakers with extensive translating experience and specialized subject matter knowledge are the optimal choice for businesses seeking high-quality and professional French document translation services. Such agencies ensure the highest standards for the target audience by providing accurate and nuanced French translations. At Translate Fast Ltd, we offer document translation services in over 200 languages and have earned a 5-star rating on Trustpilot and Google from our satisfied customers. As the highest-rated translation agency in the UK, as of May 2023 (Trustpilot), we take pride in our customer feedback and continuously strive to deliver exceptional translation services to our clients.
