Legal translations by legal translators

Polydioma is different from other translation agencies in that it has all your translations completed by legal experts with additional training in translation. Legal translation is specialist work: not only is there a difference in language between different countries, each country also has its own legal system. An error in a legal translation can be crucial and have huge consequences.

Polydioma has an extensive network of specialist translators. We work exclusively with native speaking legal translators, who have years of translation experience in the legal field. They are true professional specialists.

Legal translators are bridge builders

Translating a legal document into another language means that translators must connect two different legal systems, two approaches and two legal cultures. Unlike exact subjects such as physics and chemistry, that use universal concepts, the law largely limits itself to national borders. Over the centuries, each country has developed its own legal system, and every legal system uses its own approach.

SWORN TRANSLATIONS

For official purposes, translations are done by a translator sworn before the courts according to the Sworn Interpreters and Translators Act (Wbtv) in The Netherlands. Examples are: deeds, contracts, articles of association, documents and official documents issued by local government and also an adoption certificate or a will.
