Language coverage explained

Translation Support for Documents From Around the World

Urgent Certified Translation works across more than 100 languages for personal, immigration, legal, academic and business documents.

Language availability is considered alongside the document type and required certification. A short civil certificate, a handwritten family record, an academic transcript and a detailed legal contract may all require different subject knowledge, formatting and review time even when they use the same language pair.

Translators are matched according to the language pair and document type. Names, dates, locations, document references and official terminology are checked carefully, with existing passport spellings followed where these have been supplied.

If the language is not immediately clear, send the complete document rather than selecting the closest-looking option. This is particularly important for multilingual documents, regional varieties and languages that share a writing system.

Language-specific details

Names, Scripts and Regional Variations Need Careful Handling

An accurate translation involves more than recognising the general language. Personal names, official terminology and regional wording must remain consistent with the documents used elsewhere in your application.

  • Provide existing English spellings Share the spelling used in a passport, visa, residence permit or previous certified translation when consistency matters.
  • Identify the required language direction State whether the document needs translating into English or from English into another language.
  • Send multilingual pages in full Do not crop bilingual headings, stamps or annotations. The complete page helps define what needs translating.
  • Share the recipient’s instructions Overseas authorities may request a particular regional variety, sworn-translator procedure or certification format.

Common questions

Certified Translation Language FAQs

These answers explain language availability, mixed-language documents, translation direction, urgent turnaround and regional variation.

Which languages can you translate?

Translation support is available across more than 100 languages and regional varieties. The exact language pair, document type and available turnaround are confirmed after the file has been reviewed.

Can you translate a document containing more than one language?

Multilingual documents can be reviewed as a complete file. Upload every page and identify any sections already written in the required target language so the correct scope can be confirmed before quoting.

Can you translate from English into another language?

English-to-other-language translation may be available subject to the language pair, document type and receiving authority’s requirements. Some overseas submissions may require a sworn translator, notarisation or legalisation in addition to translation.

What should I do when I do not know the document’s language?

Send the complete document for review rather than selecting a language based only on the script. The team can assess the file and confirm whether the language or regional variety can be identified before work begins.

How are names transliterated into English?

Where possible, provide the English spelling already used in the person’s passport, visa, identity card or previous official record. This helps keep the translation consistent with the rest of the submission.

Are urgent translations available for every language?

Urgent availability depends on the language pair, document length, formatting, legibility, certification requirement and translator availability. Send the complete document and exact deadline so the fastest realistic option can be confirmed.

Can I send a photograph of the document?

A clear, uncropped and well-lit phone photograph is normally suitable for an initial assessment. All text, edges, stamps and seals should remain readable, and both sides should be supplied when the reverse contains information.
