Decide what you actually need translated

An annual report can run to two hundred pages, and a large part of it is narrative that no one receiving it will read. The statutory core — the financial statements, the notes, the directors' report and the audit report — is usually what an office, a lender or a court wants.

Saying so costs us pages, which is the point: you pay by the page and a full report translated in its entirety is frequently several times what anyone asked for. Tell us what the recipient needs and we will quote that.

Forward-looking statements are not smoothed

The narrative sections use hedged, carefully lawyered wording — expectations, intentions, risks that may materialise — and the hedging is the legally significant part. A translation that renders a hedged projection as a plain statement of fact has removed the qualification the company's counsel put there on purpose.

Risk factors, going-concern language and subsequent-events disclosures are translated at the register they were written in, without being sharpened or softened.

Figures and dates are the hazard, not the words

A financial document is mostly numbers, and numbers are written in conventions that invert between countries. Most of the world writes 1.000,50 where the United States writes 1,000.50 — the separators swapped — and most of the world dates DD/MM/YYYY where the United States dates MM/DD/YYYY. A figure read under the wrong convention is not slightly wrong; it is wrong by a factor of a thousand, or by eleven months.

So the original figure is reproduced and the convention in use is stated, and currency is never converted. An exchange rate is a date-dependent opinion rather than a translation, and a converted total is a number the issuing institution never stated. Where a document uses a different grouping system entirely — Indian statements group in lakh and crore, so 12,34,567 is 1,234,567 — that is reproduced and explained rather than silently regrouped.

How it works

Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.

A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.

Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.

Certified vs. standard translation

A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where a page is up to 250 words.

A standard translation is for business or personal use where certification is not needed, such as CVs, client intake forms or marketing material, and is billed at the same $24.95 per page of up to 250 words.
