There will always be certain instances in business where certified translations are considered preferable, though are not specifically a requirement. Quite simply, any instance where the text or its intended purpose are of real importance, certified translations come highly recommended. Despite being charged at a higher price, it’s a small price to pay for guaranteed results.
In other instances though, certified translations of the highest quality are the only permissible translation option. There are countless instances in which one-off or infrequent legal translations may be required, but some industries and sectors count on such services far more than others, including:
Law: When translations are carried out for legal firms or legal purposes, certified translation services are mandatory. Given the sensitive nature of the documents and the importance of flawless results, legal documents and texts must only ever be translated by those who can guarantee outstanding results.
Manufacturing: The manufacturing industry may also be required to seek certified translation services regularly. When dealing with trademarks, patents, contracts, licenses, and so on, it simply isn’t enough to have them translated to a passable extent rather than flawlessly.
Research: Those involved in scientific research of any kind may often find themselves in a position where critical data or findings must be translated into one or more target languages. As even the slightest of oversights or errors could have disastrous implications, only results that are guaranteed complete and accurate are acceptable.
Finance: Last but not least, sensitive financial documents and data that need to be relayed to a foreign-speaking recipient must be approached, handled, and translated with exquisite care and attention. As with the rest of the above examples, even a minor discrepancy in an otherwise excellent translation could result in extreme consequences for both the source document provider and the recipient.
