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.
