Translating Documents To English, From English And Between Other Pairs
Most orders bring a foreign record into English for a UK reader. Some go the other way, and a few skip English entirely. Whichever way the words travel, our multilingual certified translation uses two linguists.

Into English For UK Use
The most common job. A marriage certificate, payslip or school record becomes a certified English copy for a visa, court or employer. See how a marriage certificate translation to English is laid out.

Out Of English For Offices Abroad
British papers sometimes need to be read overseas, for a wedding, a job or a residence permit. Many foreign offices want a sworn translator for papers going abroad, so tell us the destination country first.
- ⇄
Between Two Other Languages
A Polish record may be needed in German, or a Spanish one in French. We translate directly between two non-English languages where a suitable translator works in that pair, and the quote confirms it.
Harder Cases
Rare Language And Old Record Translation For UK Offices
Some files need more than a fluent reader. A village dialect, a faded register or an old alphabet takes patience and research. Here, translating a certificate to English takes longer, and the quote says so.
- 1Rare And Minority LanguagesLanguages such as Tigrinya, Lingala or Sorani Kurdish have fewer professional translators. We find a qualified one before confirming your order, and the delivery date reflects their availability.
- 2Dialects And Regional WordingMoroccan records mixing Arabic and French, Swiss Standard German (no ß) and Brazilian Portuguese all word official forms in their own way. Your translator reads the local terms correctly and still writes standard English a UK reader understands.
- 3Old Scripts And CalendarsOlder records may use spellings or scripts that are no longer taught. Hijri, Shamsi and other calendar dates can be shown with the matching Western date, and we tell you honestly if a specialist is needed.
- 4Handwritten EntriesChurch registers, margin notes and handwritten changes are translated word by word. Where a word truly cannot be read, the translation says so in brackets, so the reader knows nothing was invented.
Clear Pricing
Translation Prices UK: Fixed Per Page, Agreed First
Most languages, from French to Polish, start from the same certified rate. A few rare pairs such as Tigrinya need a specialist, so the quote may be a little higher. You see the figure first.
- Certified translation from £24.99 per page for most languages
- Sworn pages charged from £39.99 each
- Notarisation from £69.99 per document, added to the translation
- Apostille or legalisation from £129.99 per document, added
