Requires knowledge of specific legal vocabulary, which contains a huge number of complex and intricate legal terms and cumbersome phrases.

On top of that, the translator must have either a legal education or special knowledge, which is necessary to understand many legal issues and, as a consequence, to perform a competent legal translation. The translator has a big responsibility, because legal translation is connected with related legal services, for example, notarization of translation

Translation of legal documents:

When is a legal translation necessary?
Legal translation is necessary when documents that have legal force in the territory of one state could be used in the territory of another. To do so you need a corresponding certificate — consular legalization or an apostille, which certifies the authenticity of the signature, seal and stamp used to seal the document.

Translation of prose and poetry is one of the most complicated types of translation. The translator must have a rich vocabulary, use the syntax in such a way as to convey the style of the literary work, its rhythm, intonation. The translator must have an artistic taste, poetical talent or the so-called ability to "write". Not without reason, one of the outstanding translators and writers, K.I. Chukovsky, wrote that "literary translation is a self-portrait of a translator".
It is thanks to the translator that complex foreign works become simple and close.

Literary translation includes:

• Prose
• Operetta
• Musicals
• Film scripts
• Poem
  

Many famous writers were also translators and that is why today we are familiar with the works of such great foreign writers as Shakespeare (translated by B.L. Pasternak), R. Kipling, O. Wilde, M. Twain (translated by K.I. Chukovsky), ballads by Robert Burns , J. Austin (translated by S.Y. Marshak)

Consecutive interpretation is required in cases where a small number of people participate in an event, or during meetings that imply frequent movements throughout enterprises, offices, etc. The speaker makes pauses and allows the interpreter to translate. Such interpretation, in contrast to simultaneous interpretation, leads to an increased length of negotiation/meeting, but is not associated with costs for additional equipment, which is essential in case of simultaneous interpretation.

Simultaneous interpretation is one of the most difficult types of interpretation, because the translator interprets simultaneously with the speaker's speech. Simultaneous perception of oral speech and derivative translation is the main feature of simultaneous interpretation. When performing simultaneous interpretation, the speaker does not need to pause for interpreter to complete the translation, as is the case with consecutive interpretation.

Requirements for a simultaneous interpreter.
The interpreter must possess linguistic and verbal (communicative) competences, as wellas the skills and abilities associated with interpretation, oratory and literary talent.

Where is simultaneous interpretation needed?
Major events where it is necessary to transfer a large amount of information to the listeners in a short time, like international conferences, forums, congresses

Attributes of simultaneous interpretation.
When translating, there are always two simultaneous interpreters in the booth, each of which translates no more than 30 minutes per hour. Simultaneous interpretation is considered one of the most complex translations and is among the ten most difficult professions. In order to minimize the loss of information during simultaneous interpretation, it is necessary to provide the simultaneous interpreter with preparatory materials, such as extracts from speeches in writing, presentations, and reports.

Clients turn to us for this type of translation when it is necessary to transfer the speech into a text file.

We encounter this type of work during simultaneous interpretation (in forums, conferences, round tables, debates, discussions), when in parallel with the work of interpreters and speeches, there is an audio recording of speech. The cassette with the recording of the speech of interpreters and speakers is translated into the printed text and used later, most often, for publications. The printed text indicates time codes or time intervals so that you can easily find a sentence or part of the text in the audio recording.

Translation of video clips also requires the transfer of oral speech into text. Most often, we do translations of commercials of various products. For example, there is a video clip in Russian. To promote this product in foreign markets, we translate the speech into foreign languages.

Decryption or transcription of a speech from Russian into Russian is from 25 rubles per minute. From English, German, French - from 100 rub./min., other languages upon request.

The final cost of translation of the speech into a text file depends on the quality of the recording itself, the literacy of the speaker. To translate a speech from a foreign language, the cost will also depend on the subject.

After translating the speech into a text file, the cost of the service for further translation from / into foreign languages is calculated in accordance with the prices of written translation

In the future, you may need to dub the translated text (that is, the written text is spoken into a microphone using recording equipment.). We cooperate with the recording studio where dubbing in Russian can be done by a professional actor.

When it is necessary to record a text in a foreign language, we engage native speakers with a drama training and linguistic, philological education. We have gained considerable experience in organizing and performing such work.

Usually a notarized translation of documents is required for submission to state institutions (when obtaining residential registration, handling court cases, training, drawing up a pension, marriage, employment, etc.).

To use Russian documents abroad (for work, study or permanent residence), in addition to translation and notarization, you may need an apostille service (a simplified legalization procedure). Suitable for all countries of the Hague Convention.

An apostille is a special stamp that, in accordance with the Hague Convention on the Abolition of Legalization Requirements for Foreign Official Documents, is affixed to official documents issued only from institutions and organizations of the Russian Federation as a member of the Hague Convention, and does not require further certification or legalization, and is recognized by the official bodies of all States-parties to the Convention.
