One Contract, Two Languages, the Same Obligations
A contract only works if both parties read the same obligations. In translation, the risk is rarely a whole clause. It is one defined term translated two ways, or a number that changes.
- Defined terms are translated the same way in every clause, from the definitions section to the signature page.
- Governing language clauses are translated precisely, so your counsel can see which version controls.
- Clause numbering and cross-references are kept, so both versions can be read side by side.
- Amounts, dates, and party names stay exactly as in the original.
Our translators have subject knowledge in contract law, with editing and proofreading by a second linguist. A certified translation is available when a court or agency needs one.

Lesen Sie alle 1.744 BewertungenIch habe MotaWord für mehrere wichtige juristische Dokumente genutzt und jedes Mal wurde mir der schnellste verfügbare Service geboten. Es ist super praktisch und benutzerfreundlich. Ich war sehr beeindruckt von der Qualität ihrer Dienstleistungen und werde sie wieder in Anspruch nehmen.
Diese Jungs sind so pünktlich und kommunikativ, das schafft großes Vertrauen. Ich war total nervös, einige juristische Dokumente zu verschicken, weil es sich ja um eine Menge juristischer Informationen handelt. :D Jetzt schicke ich sie einfach in meinen Mittagspausen.
Ich habe schon oft mit Motaword zusammengearbeitet, und sie liefern stets präzise, gründliche und entsprechend zertifizierte Übersetzungen in kürzester Zeit! Ich empfehle Motaword all meinen Kunden, weil deren Arbeit wirklich unübertroffen ist. Vielen Dank, Motaword – Sie sind ein unverzichtbarer Bestandteil unserer Praxis!
