A certified translation is one which requires a special authentication to be legally binding before a court or official institutions/authorities. A certified translation confirms that the document was translated in full and correctly. The document is then legally certified by a notary with a signature and a stamp. If you need advice on any aspect of this topic, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Yes. A distinction is made between state or official and notarial certifications for translations.

Yes. VocaZone knows a thing or two about certifying translations and can reliably offer this as a service. If you have any questions about certified translations, please contact our customer support.

An apostille simplifies legal transactions between the Hague Convention member states. 91 countries are currently members of this convention, for example Switzerland, Germany, the US, South Africa, Mexico, and Australia. Hence, if you need a certified translation for a foreign authority, VocaZone can issue it with an apostille for you. The best course of action is to ask the respective country’s authorities whether an apostille is required.

Provided the photo file is open, it should be possible for us to translate the text in the image. If this is not the case, VocaZone can provide the translation in a Word document.

It is easiest for our translators to work with the following formats: Word, PowerPoint, Excel, XLIFF (XML), IDML, RTF and HTML. A PDF can also be edited, but only by converting the original. It should be noted that the original formatting may change.

Similar to the price calculation, several factors are included when determining the deadline. For this, we check the number of words and language combination as well as the translation service. A certified translation, for example, takes a little longer than a conventional translation with the same number of words, as it still has to be certified by a notary. Please feel free to ask us for a quote, in which we guarantee to inform you of the deadline.

How long the translation work takes depends on several factors. This includes the translation service (specialist translation, certified translation, proofreading or editing), scope and language combination. To give you a precise indication, VocaZone analyses the texts and specifies a deadline in the quote. If you have a preferred deadline, please let us know in your enquiry.

A different word count is easy to explain because each language has unique characteristics. For example, the complexity, expressions, and grammar vary in different languages, resulting in different text lengths.

If you have a glossary that includes many of the words in your translation job, you are welcome to send it to us. A glossary allows us to take the corporate language and style specifications into account and apply them in the translation process.

The language of the original document is the source language. The requested translation language is the target language.

Native speakers are people who speak one or more languages which they have not learned but have grown up with. VocaZone works exclusively with translators who are native speakers of the target language.

All services offered by VocaZone are carried out by native speakers.

VocaZone works with a network of highly qualified expert translators. These translators are native speakers and experts in their respective areas. Therefore, we can find a suitable translator for every translation project.

VocaZone translates texts and documents into 36 languages. If you do not find the target language you want listed, please feel free to contact us. VocaZone has a large network of translators through which we can find a solution for your project.

Unfortunately, this question cannot be answered in a general way, as the price calculation depends on various individual factors. However, the price is calculated from the following factors: number of words, language combination, deadline, and translation service (e.g., certified translation or specialist translation).

The translation price can only be determined once the document has been analysed. This is because VocaZone produces high-quality translations, and these depend on factors that are unique to each project. For this, we look at the number of words, language combination, deadline, and translation service (e.g., certified translation or specialist translation).

VocaZone’s network of experts consists of highly qualified, native-speaker copywriters and translators. As a Swiss company, we view quality, originality, and data privacy as paramount. In addition to quality and originality, our working method is supported by the most innovative technology as well as creative solutions. Furthermore, our certified translators work according to the four-eyes principle at all stages to ensure the accuracy and clear intention of your texts as well as their message.

Once the job is received, the original documents are analysed first. If necessary, further details are discussed with the customer before a quote is issued. Once the quote has been confirmed, the job is given to the appropriate translator. The subject area, language combination and translation service are considered. Finally, the translation is checked according to the four-eyes principle and then handed over to the customer.

As a Swiss company, confidentiality and data privacy are paramount at VocaZone. VocaZone has implemented state-of-the-art technical and organisational security measures to safeguard customer data. Our translators are bound by confidentiality, which allows us to protect your documents with the utmost confidentiality.

If you have a larger translation job and would like to initially request a test translation, we will be happy to provide you with this. Please contact our customer support for this.

VocaZone offers specialised translations, certified translations, document translations as well as proofreading and editing services. Find out more about our services here.

Proofreading ensures that a text’s grammar, spelling, and punctuation are correct.

Editing takes a closer look at a text’s logic and coherence as well as style and content. For this, the language expert checks whether the text is logical and comprehensible, whether it follows a consistent style and whether it appeals to the reader. The focus here is on the target group, type of text and distribution channel.

Yes, VocaZone specialises in website translations. There are various ways in which you can hand over the website texts to us for translation. The easiest way is to send us the web texts in a Word or Excel document. You can also send us your website texts in an export file (for example .csv, xsl, .xml, .po and .txt) which we can translate directly into, and which can be easily implemented on the website. This method is highly recommended for websites with a lot of product information. We can also translate your texts from your content management or editorial system, on request. If you run a WordPress website, we can translate it using a WPML plugin. If you have any questions, please contact our customer support.
