    I have a French employment contract that must be rendered with absolute accuracy into two languages: Russian and English. Because the text is an official document, the legal phrasing, structure, and numbering need to remain intact while still sounding natural to native speakers. You should be fully comfortable with contract terminology and able to mirror the original layout—headers, articles, signature blocks—so the translated files can be used immediately without redesign. If you work with CAT tools such as Trados or MemoQ, even better; consistent terminology across both target versions is important to me. Deliverables • One Russian translation of the full contract (editable Word + final PDF) • One English translation of the full contract (editable Word + final...

    I need a skilled translator to handle a set of legal documents that totals well over 5,000 words. The files move in both directions—some sections are English that must read naturally in Portuguese, while others start in Portuguese and must come back in polished, precise English. Because these texts include contracts and formal clauses, absolute accuracy in legal terminology is critical. No certification or notarisation is required, so the focus is entirely on producing a faithful, publication-ready translation without adding stamps or official seals. Please let me know your rate structure (per word, per page, or flat project fee) and the timeframe you can commit to for a job of this size. I will supply editable Word files; you can return the translations in matching Word format...

    I have a bundle of fleet-related paperwork—mainly partnership contracts, service agreements, and the user manuals that sit in every cab—that must read as if they were written by a native for Italian drivers. Beyond a straight translation, I need the language tuned to specific regional dialects so every instruction, clause, and safety note feels natural to the people behind the wheel. You will work from my existing English files, preserve the legal intent of each clause, and reshape technical terms so they stay crystal-clear to non-technical readers. Wherever regional wording differs (for example, road terminology or informal driver jargon) I expect you to flag the choice, explain it briefly, and embed it in the final copy. Deliverables: • Fully localized contracts and ag...

    I have a set of legal documents currently in English that must be rendered accurately into both Swahili and Kirundi. Because these papers will be presented to official bodies, I need each translation returned with a proper certification—either a sworn translator stamp or an accompanying signed statement that meets typical court and governmental requirements. Precision with legal terminology, respect for local legal idiom, and strict confidentiality are essential. If you have previous experience translating contracts, affidavits, statutes, or similar materials—and can issue certified copies—let me know your approach and estimated turnaround for an initial batch of roughly a few thousand words. Please clarify: • Your certification method and any professional af...

    I have a concise legal document—no more than five pages—that needs to be translated with absolute accuracy and respect for formal legal terminology. Because it is an official text, I expect the final version to mirror the structure and formatting of the original while reading naturally in the target language. Please have a proven track record handling legal documents, be comfortable with confidentiality requirements, and be ready to deliver a clean, editable file plus a PDF for reference. If you use CAT tools or terminology databases, let me know, as consistency is critical. When you reply, briefly confirm your language pair, prior legal translation experience, and estimated turnaround.

    I’m looking for reliable support to translate two very different texts between Bahasa Indonesia and English. First, I have an academic article that must read as if it were originally written in the target language, preserving citations, tables and any discipline-specific terminology. Second, I also need a finance-and-banking contract rendered with absolute legal accuracy. Every clause, definition and cross-reference has to carry the same force as the source, so a solid grasp of legal phrasing is essential. Please return: • a polished, publication-ready English version of the article (and the Indonesian back-translation if you work bidirectionally) • a bilingual version of the contract with side-by-side formatting or tracked changes, plus a short glossary for ke...

    I need a sworn, professional translation of a small set of English corporate-registration documents into Italian. The pack includes our Memorandum of Association, Articles of Association, Certificate of Incorporation and two short shareholder resolutions—altogether fewer than 4,000 words. They use standard company-law wording rather than industry-specific jargon, but accuracy is critical because the papers will be filed with an Italian notary and the Chamber of Commerce. You must be an officially certified Italian translator (court-registered, CTI, or equivalent) so that your stamp and statement of accuracy are accepted by Italian authorities. Experience with MOA/AOA wording, company constitutions and similar corporate instruments is essential. I am happy for you to work in Trados...

Your primary task is simple—speak directly with the investigating officer, confirm where the file currently sits in the process, and relay any next steps they outline. I already hold the original filing receipt, related correspondence, and supporting evidence in PDF form; I will email everything the moment we agree to proceed so you have the exact reference details at hand. No additional complaints or paperwork need to be lodged right now—this is strictly a status check to keep the matter moving and to reassure me that it has not stalled.

    I have a court document written in Polish that now needs a precise, publication-ready English version. Because this is a legal text, accuracy in terminology, dates, names, and procedural language is critical; the final file should read naturally to an English-speaking lawyer yet mirror the original structure so citations and exhibit references line up perfectly. The task is straightforward: translate the entire document into English, preserving headings, numbered sections, and any footnotes. Where Polish legal terms do not have a direct one-to-one English equivalent, I expect you to supply the closest accepted term and, if helpful, add a brief parenthetical explanation to avoid ambiguity.
