Keep reading and we’ll explain what happened to this couple. And how you can avoid being in their shoes.

For tourists who get married in foreign countries such as Bulgaria, they will often be asked to have their documents translated to the Bulgarian language by one of their certified translators. Other countries may not make it compulsory that you use their translator but that the translator of your choice is certified.

If you travel a lot, you may have been asked to have some of your documents translated by a certified translator. You are probably wondering what is the difference between a regular translator and a certified translator.

The difference is simple. A translation service is deemed certified when it meets the requirements of the country requesting the documents, with the translator being held responsible for its accuracy.

It is important to note that a certified translator and a certified translation are not the same things. The difference between the two is simple.

A certified translator is a professional who has taken an exam, passed, and belongs to a body such as the American Translators Association.  While a certified translation is one that comes with a signed statement by the translator that the document is an accurate translation of the original.

Certified translations are usually required for legal documents such as business contracts, court transcripts, immigration documents, adoption agreements, and birth, death, or marriage certificates.

A translator need not be certified to give a certified translation.

In this article, we will discuss why it is necessary to make sure your translator is certified, when you may need to have your documents translated, the benefits of using a certified translator, and problems faced when your translator is not certified.

Why it’s necessary – It’s no news that people engage in producing fake documents. We have heard of cases of people who apply for visas with fake bank statements. Or political candidates being disqualified for their fake school certificates. The list of these types of cases is endless.

One way to avoid such cases coming up in foreign countries. Is to have them translated by a certified translator.

For legal and official purposes a country will order that documents be translated to their language.

A common situation where the need to translate your documents would arise is getting married in a foreign country. The country will require the intended couple to translate documents up to their passports/proof of identity by certified translators.

Another instance of providing translated documents is when you are traveling to a foreign country either for a temporary visitor as an immigrant. You will be required to translate all your documents to the country’s language. And they must be certified.

In a nutshell, translation of documents should only come up when they are needed for legal paperwork, and especially when they are being submitted to a government body.

 Benefits – There ate two (2) key benefits to using a certified translation  service namely:

Confidentiality agreements: did you know that  Google translate has the right to store everything you do? Well, they do. In an attempt to improve the way it works, it stores all your data for future modification purposes. This is the last thing you want when dealing with legal documents. Stress-free translation

Ease of Translation: using translations that are certified saves you a lot of stress. You don’t have to worry about having your documents rejected. Or anyone doubting the accuracy of your documents. Making whatever process you’re going through as seamless as possible.

Problems Faced – From the benefits, we discussed it is easy to guess some problems you might face in using an uncertified translator.

You may not enjoy any confidentiality agreement making your information prone to risk.

And you may encounter a difficult process as your documents will be rejected for being uncertified. Making you have to redo the whole translation process. This results in a waste of time, effort, and money.
