What Exactly Is Certified Translation?
At its core, certified translation is a translation of a document followed by a signed statement attesting to its completeness and accuracy. It’s a key part of the translation process for legal, medical, immigration, and official documents. Unlike an initial translation generated by translation software or machine translation tools, certified translations involve expert proofing, strict quality checks, and legal or notarial certification. This makes them legally valid for institutional use, especially when converting from one language to another for official purposes.
