This process assures you that the translated document will maintain unaltered the original sense but working with the wording to produce a pleasant and practical result.

Types of document translations

Costa Rican Official Translation or Sworn Translation.
This type of document translation is used mainly for documents that require the recognition of the local government and the approval of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Official translations are usually related to legal documentation and government information.

Official translations can only be delivered in printed form, since they require the original signature of the translator and affixed legal stamps.

Private Document Translation.
Used to translate business or personal documents that require a particular format or need to be deliverd in digital form.

This is the type of translation that we use whenever we translate documents for overseas customers, which are delivered by email or in the case of very large files, downloaded through Web.

There are no quality differences between Official and Private Translations.

How are translations charged?

According to international practice, translation from Spanish to English or any other language combination is charged according to the number of words contained in the original document, also known as the source document. The word count is done automatically through the aid of the "Word Count" tool in Microsoft Word or other word processing application.

The reason why in our industry translations are charged by the word, is that this system remains unaffected by the size of the fonts, the margins or the format used in the original document. In this manner, the price is always fair for the client as well as for the translator.
