Frequently asked questions

How do I know if a translator is genuinely court-sworn for my language?

Ask the service directly: Ist der Übersetzer vom Landgericht für das Sprachpaar ermächtigt? All Transzlate translators hold current court appointments, verifiable in the public state translator register (Dolmetscher- und Übersetzerverzeichnis) of their appointing Bundesland. We can provide the translator's name and appointment details on request.

Do I need an apostille as well as a certified translation?

It depends on the authority and document. The Ausländerbehörde typically does not require apostilles. The Standesamt for marriage registration usually does for non-EU documents. Call your specific authority and ask: Brauche ich eine Apostille auf dem Dokument? If an apostille is needed, obtain it first — then order the translation.

How do I photograph my document for best translation quality?

Lay the document flat on a plain light surface in strong natural light. Photograph directly above — no angle. Zoom in on your phone screen after photographing to confirm every character, stamp, and seal is sharply in focus. Include both sides. High image quality prevents delays.

What if my language is not in the list above?

We cover 40+ languages. The 13 listed above are the most frequently requested. For other languages — Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Amharic, Somali, Vietnamese, Romanian, Bulgarian, Greek, Hungarian, and many more — contact us directly before ordering. We will confirm availability and pricing.

How does Express 24h work, and which languages does it cover?

Express 24h is available for English–German, Spanish–German, and Italian–German. Place your order before 10:00 AM Monday–Friday CET and receive your certified translation PDF by end of the following business day (+€20). Same legal validity, same court-sworn translator, same acceptance guarantee — just faster.

Can I order translations in multiple languages at once?

Yes. Add multiple documents in different languages to one order. Each document is assigned to its appropriate language specialist. One payment, coordinated delivery — all documents arrive together as a package.
