In the translation of the contract, obligations, deadlines, restrictions and rights of the parties must not be repeated. The translation must faithfully follow the content of the original and consistently use the terminology in the basic contract, annexes and attachments.
Which contracts do we translate?
We translate contracts on work, business cooperation, purchase, sale, lease, distribution, provision of services, loan, representation and confidentiality and other contractual documents. In the case of larger packages, annexes, appendices and general conditions may also be included.
When is a certified translation of a court interpreter required?
Not every contract has to be stamped by a court interpreter. For internal communication or negotiations, a professional translation is often sufficient, while a court, notary public, registry or other body may require a certified version.
In the quote, a professional translation should be clearly distinguished from a certified translation, so that the client does not pay for a certification that he does not need.
Contract documentation with consistent terminology.
Send the contract, annexes and attachments together so that terms are consistent throughout the package.
What to send for a quick assessment?
| Document / attachment | Why is it useful? | What to include |
|---|---|---|
| Contract | main document | the entire contract |
| Power of attorney | representation in the contract | related attachment |
| Extract from the register | information about the company | current extract |
Consistent terminology in the contract and annexes
Terminological consistency is particularly important in contracts. The same defined term, function or obligation should be translated equally in all articles and related documents. If the client has an approved terminology, glossary or previous contract, it is useful to provide it as a reference.
Confidentiality and document form
Contracts often contain confidential business information. Documents are processed only for the purpose of providing the service. According to the agreement, we can keep the structure of the original or prepare a bilingual version.
