Language Translation Services

BeTranslated works with a network of professional translators who translate exclusively into their native language. Every translator has a minimum of five years of relevant experience and specializes in a subject area: legal and contract work, marketing and transcreation, technical documentation, medical and clinical content, or financial. Your project is managed end-to-end by a dedicated project manager who coordinates language pairs, tracks delivery, and ensures consistent terminology across multi-language assignments.

For projects spanning 10 or more languages simultaneously, we deploy an optimized team of translators working in parallel under a single project lead. Whether you need a single certified document or a full website localized into 20 markets, we match the right team to your brief from day one.

Interpreters for meetings in the same languages are available through our professional interpreting services, and documents that an authority asks to see certified go through our certified translation services, for example for a European consulate or a US agency.

A language pair is a direction, not just two languages. Translating German into English calls for an English native speaker who reads German fluently, while the reverse direction goes to a German native speaker, so the same two languages can mean two different linguists. We assign each direction separately and then add the subject specialist your text needs, such as a translator with a legal background for contracts or a medical specialist for clinical records.

Regional variants matter as well. Portuguese for Lisbon and for São Paulo, Spanish for Madrid and for Mexico City, and French for Paris and for Quebec differ in vocabulary, spelling, and forms of address. The brief should name the market where the text will be read, so the translator can choose the right variant.

When a translation is destined for an authority, the question shifts from language to paperwork. A certified translation carries a signed certificate of accuracy, and some countries ask for a sworn translation signed by a translator appointed or registered locally, as with a German Landgericht or a Spanish traductor jurado.

For a US filing, such as one to USCIS or a state court, a certified translation into English is usually the expected format. The receiving authority decides what it accepts, so we confirm its rules before work begins.

European business is multilingual by default. A contract between a Spanish supplier and a German buyer, a customs filing in Italy, and an invoice for a Belgian customer in Dutch can sit in one trade chain, so European projects often arrive as bundles of several languages with English as the common working language.

Chinese, Japanese, and Korean projects raise questions of script and layout, such as Simplified versus Traditional Chinese, and Arabic and Hebrew need right-to-left layouts. African language projects often involve regional standards or scripts, as with Amharic in the Ethiopic script, so the brief should state the country and the audience.
