Judicial Translation Services
Certified Legal Translators, Sworn and Legal Translations with the Highest Level of Confidentiality Since 1996
Our SMG Legal translation and interpreting services provide a professional, qualified solution for translating legal and judicial texts and obtaining specialist language assistance in mediation and judicial proceedings.
Our native-speaking legal translators are professionals who are legally recognised and authorised to provide certified translation services. With years of expertise in legal translation, we ensure a thorough understanding of legal texts, taking account of differences between legal systems and interpretations.
Translation and Certification of Legal and Classified Documents
SMG Languages primarily relies on in-house staff and protects the data it receives through its Internal Security System. As a supplier to the Armed Forces, SMG employs specific tools and procedures for the translation of documents classified as confidential or secret.
Translations can be sworn through an official certification procedure (recognition of the translation in the document’s country of origin) and validated for international use through legalisation or the Hague Apostille. In addition, our legal and judicial interpreters provide interpreting services during court hearings, legal negotiations and civil-law formalities (such as notarial deeds and marriages).

Why is it important to rely on qualified translators for legal translations?
Working in the legal and financial sectors requires a high degree of specialisation, taking into account the potential consequences of even the smallest mistake. For this reason, for legal and financial translations, we employ translators whose knowledge and skills have been acquired through years of study and professional experience in these fields.
Furthermore, in some countries, only legally recognised professionals are authorised by law to produce official translations. In some cases, translators must even be registered with or recognised by a public authority in order to produce certified or sworn translations of a legal document.
The translations can then be sworn and validated for use abroad through legalisation or by means of a Hague Apostille.
