Frequently asked questions

What is a certified translation?

A certified translation comes with a signed statement from the translator confirming that the translation is accurate and complete. Many Canadian organizations ask for one when the original document is not in English or French.

How long does a document translation take?

It depends on the length and the subject. Tell us your deadline when you request a quote, and we confirm the delivery date with your price.

Do you translate into languages other than French and English?

Yes. We translate into more than 50 languages. Tell us the language pair when you request a quote.

Can you translate a document I received by email or scan?

Yes. A clear scan or photo is usually enough to start. We confirm the originals needed for the receiving organization when we quote.
