Legal translation
Specifics of legal document translation services
In legal translation, accuracy is paramount – each word can carry legal weight, and every document may follow a specific structure. We convey the document's content without the slightest distortion, ensuring that the translated text preserves its legal validity.
For documents rich in highly specialized terminology, KLS engages professionals with formal legal education. This guarantees accuracy, correctness, and compliance of the used terminology with legal standards.
Legal texts have a strictly defined format that must be followed. To guarantee a proper understanding of the document, we preserve headings, lists, references, etc. Thus, any ambiguous interpretations are excluded.
Legal texts are intertwined with the culture, history, and legal system of a specific country. We translate texts considering the established correspondences in terminology between the legal systems of the source and target countries.
Legal texts are formulated in neutral expressions, without emotional coloring. The translator chooses wording that avoids emotional pressure and eliminates subjective legal interpretation.
Price of the legal translation service
The cost of legal translation depends on several key factors: language pair, text complexity, volume, terminological density, and timeline. If the document verification or formatting is required, these services are charged separately.
You can calculate the approximate price yourself, based on the number of translation pages in your document. Otherwise, contact our manager for an accurate calculation, considering the volume, the presence of seals, signatures, stamps, tables, images, and formatting requirements.
The manager will also determine the timeline and, if necessary, arrange the team to ensure everything is completed within your specified deadline. If necessary, we also recommend the best options for notarization, apostille, or other relevant procedures.
To receive a quote, send us the document in any convenient way, visit the KLS office, or request KLS courier delivery – we will arrange it for your convenience.

Legal translator services – qualifications and selection criteria
There is an international quality standard ISO 17100:2015, which establishes requirements for translation service providers. All KLS specialists are selected in accordance with its criteria.
A translator must have professional knowledge of the source and target languages, understand the theory and practice of translation, and be able to apply the knowledge effectively. At least two years of professional translation experience is a mandatory requirement. The translator must also have an extensive vocabulary and terminology in both languages.
A second higher education in law or related fields is a significant advantage. Knowledge of domain terminology and stylistics allows linguists to translate legal texts with maximum accuracy.
KLS experts are well-versed in modern CAT tools, which allow them to automate translation, maintain terminological consistency, work with dictionaries, and develop translation memory.
The translator is required to guarantee the non-disclosure of information contained in documents submitted for translation and strictly adhere to deadlines. Another key requirement is neutrality and impartiality throughout the translation process.
How to order legal translation services from the KLS agency?
Before placing an order, prepare the source materials. For written translation, provide text files and original documents, including previous translations or materials that will help the linguist perform a high-quality translation. Determine the format of the document in which you need the final text. Consider the need for verification or formatting of your document, as well as the purpose of the translation, and the institutions where the documents will be submitted. Indicate the desired terms for the task completion and the target language.
