When you need a document translated, understanding whether you need a certified or standard translation is crucial. Here are the key differences between the two:
1. Formatting:
Certified translations replicate the format of the original document, ensuring an exact match. Standard translations offer more flexibility and may adapt the layout depending on the medium.
2. Purpose:
Certified translations are legally recognized and suitable for official use, such as in court or for visa applications. Standard translations are ideal for informal or personal use.
3. Professionalism:
Certified translations include a signed statement and an official stamp from a registered translation provider, which guarantees authenticity and accuracy.
4. Accuracy:
Certified translations emphasize precision, replicating the exact wording of the original. While standard translations are accurate, they focus more on readability and conveying meaning naturally.
5. Formality:
Certified translations are always formal and adhere to legal standards. Standard translations are tailored to the context and tone required by the client.
