When you need a certified translation, timing is often important. For example, you may need the document for an official application, studies abroad, a move, or legal proceedings.
But how long does a certified translation take?
The short answer: the turnaround time depends on the document, the language combination, the length and the deadline. A short official certificate can often be translated more quickly than an extensive legal document.
In this article, we explain which factors determine the turnaround time.
When you need a document, website or commercial text translated, one of the first questions that usually comes to mind is: “How much does a professional translation cost?” The answer is not always straightforward. The cost of a translation depends on several factors, such as the language combination, the complexity of the text and the required turnaround time.
AI translation and machine translation are increasingly being used by companies that want to create multilingual content quickly and efficiently. Tools such as ChatGPT, DeepL and Google Translate can translate large volumes of text in just a few seconds.
However, an AI translation is not automatically ready for publication.
A small error in an internal text is usually not a major problem. An error in a contract, website or marketing campaign, however, can have consequences for your business. That is why more and more organisations are choosing AI translation with human revision. But when is revision necessary? And when is an automatic translation sufficient?
When you need to use official documents abroad, a certified translation is not always sufficient. In many cases, the authenticity of the document or the translation must also be officially confirmed by means of an apostille.
At Verlingua, we assist clients every day with certified translations and the related apostille procedures. In this article, we explain everything you need to know.
