Translations FAQ's

Below are some of the questions we are most frequently asked. If you have any other questions, please call us at any time on 01782 257467 and we'll be happy to answer them.

Is it true that there are no sworn translations in Britain?
Sworn translations do exist, but they are always brought in from another country. Britain has no institute for sworn translators so an officially recognized translation is a certified one.

Will my translation be accepted by the UK Home Office/SIA/British Court?
Yes, because we provide certified translations, which are accepted by all public institutions in the UK.

Do you provide sworn translations?
Yes, certainly.  We offer sworn translations provided by our translators accredited in Poland.

What is the difference between a sworn translation and a certified one?
A certified translation is intended for use in the British market (there are no sworn translators in the UK).  It is provided together with a Certificate we give, issued on our headed paper and bearing our corporate stamp.
A sworn translation is prepared for the Polish market.  It includes an authentication provided personally by the sworn translator who prepared it.

How can I deliver my documents to you?
If the documents have an electronic format, you can easily send them to us using our automated delivery system, by FTP or by e-mail. Paper materials can be posted to our office address and many clients located outside of London use this mode of delivery.
If you are sending original documents, we suggest using First Class Recorded or Special Delivery mail. However, we also offer a service whereby we can translate photocopied documents sent by e-mail or fax.

What type of documents do you translate?
We translate all kinds of documents, e.g. official documents, trade offers, websites, letters, certificates, school records, contracts, manuals, etc.

How do I arrange a Translation?
All you need to do is telephone us on 01782 257467 or fill in a Translations quote request form, giving us all the details about the Translation. Once you've approved the quote, we will get our professional Translator working on the job as soon as possible.

Can you send me the translation by fax or e-mail?
Certainly, if it is just one or two pages, we are happy to send it for free. If the document to be faxed is more than 3 pages or the fax number is overseas, the charges are:

£0.50 - per page faxed within UK
£1.00 - per page faxed outside UK

On what basis do you charge?
The amount quoted will depend on the type of Translation which you require and on how many words you need translating and complexity of the Translation. Our Translations rates start from only £40.00.
