Sworn legal translation requires in-depth expertise in legal systems. A simple error can have serious consequences, such as invalidating a contract. That's why only a sworn translator can guarantee a certified and recognised translation.
Legal translation is more than simply transposing a text from one language to another. Each legal system has its own concepts, and some notions do not always have a direct equivalent in another language. Consequently, a thorough understanding of comparative law and the differences between legislative frameworks is essential. This enables us to produce a translation that is legally valid and adapted to the context of application.
It is important to note that in France, the terms "certified translation" and "sworn translation" in official languages are used interchangeably without any difference in meaning.

In this way, every exchange is relayed accurately and in compliance with legal requirements.

A sworn legal translator combines linguistic expertise with a mastery of the law. Their role goes beyond simply translating words. They must understand the legislative framework and adapt each text precisely. That's why it's essential to check their qualifications, review their experience and confirm their sworn status.

Before hiring a sworn translator, check that they have a unique registration number and that they renew their registration every five years. This legal requirement ensures that their professional skills are maintained and that they comply with the ethical standards in force. So you can be sure that your translation will comply with official requirements.
