Certified vs Standard Translation
Sets out Certified vs Standard Translation and what we need from you before work starts.
Where it fits day to day
We translate documents for people and organisations who need a US receiving office to accept the file, so we publish the requirements we work to and confirm the rest at intake.
- Confirmed in writing: how to choose translation quality level.
- Handled per project: document translation for uscis.
- Confirmed in writing: immigration document translation guide.
- Confirmed in writing: budget translation guide.
- Confirmed in writing: premium translation guide.
From intake to delivery
Where Certified vs Standard Translation fits, and the parts we cannot confirm without seeing the file.
Intake and scope
Scope, format, deadline and glossary are agreed in writing at intake, so nothing is renegotiated later and the brief is fully documented.
Terminology preparation
A project glossary is locked before drafting, so sector terms stay consistent across the whole file and future revisions.
Translation
A domain translator drafts your file against the locked glossary, preserving layout, register and the exact wording of the source.
Second-reader review
A separate linguist verifies terminology, numbers, dates and names line by line, never the original translator.
Formatting and delivery
Fonts, tables, headers and numbering are rebuilt to match the source, and the final file is checked against it before it ships.
