Certified translation is a specialty area of Danish translation.

Description of Certified Danish translation

Certified Danish translation can be described as a Danish translation that comes with a written guarantee that the translation is accurate and complete as compared to the source information. The method of certified Danish translation used is decided by the type of translation required.

If a certified Danish translation is required by a client for presentation in a Court of Law, the translation needs to be done by a Danish translator who is certified with the appropriate court or judicial council. With this type of certified Danish translation, the certified Danish translator may also need to be present in the court to take a pledge that the translation done by the translator of a specific document is accurate and complete when compared with the source document. In some cases the jury, depending on the severity of the legal matter, may also demand an affidavit. In some courts a translation with a written statement from the certified Danish translator is also considered lawful. It all depends on the rules and regulations of the specific court.

Another method used to certify a Danish translation is when the certified Danish translators provide a certificate along with the translation. This certificate is usually printed on an official letterhead with the translation provider’s official raised seal or hologram.

Yet another type of certified Danish translation is apostilled Danish translation. This can be described as a Danish translation done by a native Danish translator and further attested to by an appropriate government official, usually from the foreign affairs ministry, who is authorized to do so or, in some countries, like the US, it is attested to by officials from the office of the Secretary of State.

When a notary public attests to documents translated to or from Danish, these translations are also considered as certified Danish translations by government departments in certain countries. A Danish translator needs to be physically present when the translated documents are being notarized because, if we consider notarization of translations in Denmark, for example, notarization is generally carried out by the judges of the County Courts. They may also demand the translator to take a pledge stating that the translation was done correctly and completely to the best of the translator’s knowledge.

Danish translator certifications

Clients looking for legal certified translations should do a proper check of whether the certified Danish translator has a valid and appropriate certification / registration with the respective court or judicial council where the certified Danish translations are required to be presented. This check will ensure that the translations done by the certified Danish translator are accepted and considered lawful in the court.

On the other hand, if the translator does not have the proper valid certifications, then there is a good possibility that the judge may discard the translated documents, thus leading to a loss of money and time for the client.

Another way that a translator can be certified is if the translator receives a certification from a reputed national translator association. An example of this type of association in the US would be the American Translators Association, which grants certification to translators, and these certified Danish translators can then provide valid certified Danish translation.
