About Our Legal Translation Services

Legal translations are high stake translations – they require native speakers who are experienced in the legal field to translate them. When you work with Global Language Services, your Project Manager will assign the translator who has the best experience in the language(s) you require and for the document types you need translated.

Global Languages has been translating for over two decades. We understand that legal document translation requires an understanding of the nuance and context of the whole piece, not just translating individual words. We ensure the piece flows correctly and is understood the way it is intended in both the source and target languages. Your translation is carried out by a human translator for the highest accuracy.

If you require a certified translation, our translators are confident and authorised to produce these. We follow all the protocols required when creating certified translations so you can be sure they will be accepted by all official bodies. We offer sworn translations in some languages too.

The security of your documents and translations is of the highest priority. Our translators sign NDAs and all documents are transmitted via encrypted software. We are ISO 27001 Information Security Management certified which has given us the training to ensure our system is protected against cyber attacks.

We can translate any document

Between our team of over 1,000 experienced linguists, we are capable of translating a huge range of legal documents. Your project manager will assign the translator with the most relevant experience for the best result.

Frequently asked questions

Please speak to us directly for questions about your specific translation needs. Here are some general FAQs that might be of help to you.

Can I translate an official document myself?

If you require a certified translation of an official document then you need to use a professional translator who is authorised to produce certified translations. You cannot do this yourself unless you have the appropriate knowledge and training.

Who can certify translations in the UK?

Certified translations can be done by translators who are members of official bodies like the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (ITI) or the Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIOL).

How much does a legal translation cost per word?

The cost of a legal translation depends on the agency. The average cost per word in the UK is £0.10 to £0.16. A 250 page document would therefore cost between £25 and £40. Please reach out to Global Language Services directly for a true quote for your project.
