    Translating legal texts – reliable, precise & fast by experts in their field

At tolingo translation agency, we use highly specialised and extremely experienced translators to translate texts in which every word matters: qualified specialist legal translators.

    Professional specialist legal translations –
    for law firms, legal departments, public authorities & government agencies

    Specialist legal texts include complex technical terms, are extremely precise and must never contain any errors. Translation therefore requires absolute precision and there is no room for interpretation. Our specialist legal translators are experts in the legal language used in both the source and target languages and always translate the content accurately and with an eye for the crucial details. In the case of long texts or when speed is a priority, a machine translation can also be very helpful – especially for specialist legal texts. Our highly specialised AI is used hand-in-hand with our experienced specialist legal translators. In this way, we combine speed with quality.

    We recommend our Smart package for legal translations. With this translation solution, we use artificial intelligence only if it is suitable for the text and brings added value to the translation. Our specialist translators ensure that your text is not only accurate in terms of content, but is also translated correctly from a legal point of view.

    AI

    Fast and focused on the essentials. Our artificial intelligence translates your texts, experienced translators check to see if the core information has actually been translated correctly and make improvements to the text if necessary.

    Legal translations – what is important & what you can expect from us

    There are two factors that make a legal translation special: on the one hand, the content must be carried over extremely precisely from the source to the target language. On the other, technical terms must be translated correctly, used consistently and also applied in the right context in the target language. This requires certified translators with the necessary expertise and experience.

    Legal texts, contracts and court documents also frequently contain sensitive information that is only intended for the sender and recipient. Our employees and translators are therefore all contractually obliged to maintain confidentiality. On request, we will be happy to confirm this level of security in writing with a declaration of confidentiality.

    FAQ

    Key questions – and all the answers

    • What is a legal translation?

      A legal translation is a translation of legal texts, contracts or (court) documents. These types of text are usually written in specialist legal language, which must be translated precisely and correctly into the target language. In addition to language skills at native-speaker level, specialist legal translators must therefore be able to demonstrate sound specialist knowledge.

      All certified translators who translate legal texts for tolingo have been thoroughly checked in this regard. They have qualified as translators with a focus on law, specialise in specific legal areas (e.g. patent law, trial documentation or data protection) and are familiar with the associated terminology. All our specialist translators have a record of many years of professional experience in translating legal texts.

    • When do I need a legal translation?

      A legal translation is required, for example, for legal texts, contracts, court paperwork and official documents. Translations of specialist legal texts must be accurate in terms of content and be in line with the legal systems in the country of the target and source languages. That’s why legal translations are completed by specialist translators who have experience of the legal system and can translate complex matters and specific terminology accurately.

    • Can I have a legal translation certified?

      If you wish, we will be happy to get your legal translation certified. In this case, we select certified translators who can translate your text professionally and certify it officially. The certification confirms to official bodies and authorities abroad, for example, that the translation is correct.

      It’s worth remembering that a legal translation does not require certification per se. The type of document and requirements of the recipient determine whether certification is necessary. It’s therefore best to ask the recipient in advance whether the translation has to be certified.

    • How quickly will I get my legal translation?

      As with any translation, the turnaround time for a legal translation depends on the size of the job. As soon as we have this information, you will be given a guaranteed delivery time in our quotation. Our established procedures and efficient processes mean that we always deliver every job promptly. If you are in a particular hurry, you can select the Express or Super-Express options. Then we speed things up and deliver even more quickly.
