Libra Translation

1. Once you've got in contact with us, we'll take a look at your documents and requirements and provide you with the price and delivery time, taking any special requirements into account.  
2. Following payment, we'll then send your digital copy of your translation for your confirmation. If needed, we can also send out a paper version at not extra cost - this is identical to the .pdf copy, but is bound using an eyelet press and will bear the original signature of the project manager.  
3. The final .pdf sent to you will have a declaration attached that confirms it to be a true and accurate translation of the original document, along with the date of the translation, the full name of the project manager and our contact details. This will also have the original document attached for reference, with the translation broadly matching the formatting of the original document.

We have a database of providers that covers almost any language under the sun (no Dothraki or Klingon though, sorry!), and have fulfilled orders from languages as diverse as Albanian right up to closer-to-home Welsh over the last 12 months. The majority of languages we deal with are either European or Eastern European, but we have the resources and knowledge to handle most language pairs.   

Most orders are fulfilled within three working days, although we can sometimes provide a rush service for urgent requirements, including next-day guaranteed delivery for the printed version following translation (within the UK only). If this is something you need, let us know and we'll see what we can do for you. A rush surcharge may apply. As a general rule, the longer the text, the more time will be required, but we'll let you know the turnaround time when you get in touch for a quote.

While we can handle just about any document type or format for translation, the most common documents covered are personal and academic certificates, including transcripts, as well as bank statements and other financial information. 

If you have a scanner to hand, please send a reasonable quality scan through. If you have no scanner, some iPad or phone apps can do a similar job for you. We can at a pinch sometimes process translations from a photograph - if this is the case, make sure all four document corners are visible when taking the photograph. As a final note, please check whether there are any stamps or text on the back of your document, as these can sometimes be missed.

Yes, we do, and we currently provide services for several law firms in the UK and abroad as well as other private sector businesses. We'll be happy to support you for one-off requirements or continued collaboration to help your company conquer new markets and thrive abroad. There's no time like the present to sell your product or service outside of the UK in a language that your customers speak. 

Yes, of course you can - this is quite a regular occurrence if you're ordering a translation for a UK student visa for study at a British university, and can we still send you a paper copy via air mail if needed, although delivery times may vary.

We accept UK and international bank transfer, PayPal and Payoneer (the last option is for non-UK residents only). Other payment methods including payment via debit/credit card may be available on request - contact us for more information.

Getting documents translated can feel like a confusing process, particularly when approaching this type of process for the first time. We'll be happy to provide free advice to leave you feeling better informed about the process - just get in touch!

In short, the translations we provide are accepted by a majority of UK institutions, including UKVI and the UK legal system. Please let us know the reason for the translation when ordering, especially if your translation is for the General Medical Council, General Dental Council or a UK passport application, as these have slightly different requirements.
