Experience

Legal translation is our largest field

More than 19,000 of our projects since 2003 have been legal: contracts, tenders, court rulings, powers of attorney, company documents and regulations, for law firms, banks and companies in Romania and abroad.

Legal texts go to translators with a degree in law or languages and at least three years of experience, and are revised by a second linguist. For EU legislation we follow IATE, EUR-Lex and the DGT guidelines.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Anything else? Write to office@serious.ro.

Who translates legal documents?

Translators with a degree in law or languages and at least three years of experience, preferably authorised by the Romanian Ministry of Justice. A second linguist, never the translator, revises every text.

Can you provide certified or notarised translations?

Yes. Translations can be certified by a translator authorised in Romania or in another EU country, legalised by a notary and, when needed, given an apostille so they are recognised abroad.

Do you follow EU terminology?

Yes. For EU legislation and EU institutions we use IATE, EUR-Lex and the DGT guidelines, together with your own glossary and translation memory.

How do you protect confidential documents?

Every linguist signs a confidentiality agreement, access is granted per project and our processes are certified to ISO/IEC 27001. On request, we delete your files right after delivery.

How is the price calculated?

We analyse your files first and send a binding offer. Repeated and similar text is counted with CAT tools, so you pay less for it, and the price stays the same for the whole contract.

Will you meet my deadline?

The delivery date is written in the offer. In our last 1,000 projects for corporate customers we did not miss a single agreed deadline.
