What does a sworn translation refer to?
A sworn translation is different than a simple translation from one language to another, as this activity is always done by a professional translator. This means that when you will contact our sworn translators in Timisoara, you will be rest assured that your documents will be translated by professionals who have obtained a certification that allows them to offer translation services.
A sworn translation defines the translation in which the translator has the in-depth knowledge of a certain foreign language, but also of a specific area of expertise.
For instance, Romanian translators can specialize in the translation of books, the translation of corporate documents, the translation of certificates and other official documents and this will imply that the translators will have the in-depth knowledge of the meaning of the words used in the respective area.
For legal documents, such as contracts, agreements, certificates, diplomas and so on, our sworn translators in Timisoara will always have a legal background, meaning that they will know the legal implications of the words and their meaning and they will provide a clear and equivalent translation in the other language, which will maintain all the legal implications and without making various errors that could create issues for the owner of the documents.
Thus, sworn translators in Timisoara are able to understand all the subtleties of a text and this is the purpose of a sworn translation, as it assures a native level of understanding for written texts in the two languages (the language in which the document is written and the language in which it must be translated).
This is of crucial importance, as a word translated in a different meaning that the one it was first meant can have multiple consequences.
Typically, persons who offer sworn translation services will translate documents such as: academic records, diplomas issues by educational institutions, any type of certificate, criminal records, land registration documents, invoices and other similar documents.

- for very large translations, of over 30 pages, our translator in Romania will negotiate the price, depending on the difficulty of the document and the actual size of the document.
The profession is represented by several associations, created based on the nature of the activities developed by each category of translators. One of the associations where translators can be represented is the Association of Translators in Romania.

Translators who are specialized in translating books and literature documents are separated from the category of translators that deal with legal documents and they are represented by other associations.
