Languages we work in

Written translation and interpreting in thirty-six languages. For some of them we have written separate pages covering the documents, scripts and certification details specific to that language.

Languages with a detail page

For these languages we have written up the writing system, name transliteration, the destination country's apostille status and the local document names separately.

EnglishEnglish-speaking countries have no institution of sworn translators. What actually counts on a document leaving Türkiye, and how Turkish document names are rendered.Detail
GermanIn Germany, sworn translators are appointed by regional courts. When a translation made in Türkiye is accepted, why the German grading scale reads inverted, and how documents are named.Detail
ArabicFor Arabic documents the destination country decides the process: an apostille works for Saudi Arabia, while the UAE and Egypt require consular legalisation. Script, Hijri dates and name transliteration.Detail
RussianRussian records give names in three parts, and the patronymic does not exist in Turkish registers. Cyrillic transliteration, name declension and what to do with Soviet-era documents.Detail
SpanishSpanish-language records give a person two surnames; Turkish records give one. That structural gap, the traductor jurado system, and terminology that changes by country.Detail
ItalianItaly has no permanent register of sworn translators; an oath is sworn for each translation. Revenue stamps, the codice fiscale and three different birth documents.Detail
PersianIran is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so documents go through consular legalisation. The Solar Hijri calendar, the four extra letters of the Persian alphabet, and name transliteration.Detail
ChineseChina has been an Apostille Convention party since 2023, so consular legalisation is no longer needed. Simplified versus traditional characters, company seals and character-based pricing.Detail
JapaneseJapanese uses three writing systems at once. The koseki family register, era years (Reiwa 8 is 2026), and the hanko seal that stands in for a signature.Detail
KoreanHangul letters are arranged into syllable blocks. The family relations register, two competing romanisation standards, and the age reckoning that changed in 2023.Detail
GreekThe Greek alphabet, polytonic spelling in pre-1982 documents, and the institutional differences between Greece and Cyprus. How documents travel across the Aegean.Detail
DutchDutch surnames keep van, de and van der in a separate field in the register. Turkish records have no such field, and what that does to document matching.Detail
PortuguesePortuguese surname order is the reverse of Spanish: mother's first, father's last. Terminology differences between Portugal and Brazil, and the apostille route.Detail
SwedishSweden's authorised translator title is earned by examination. Where the personal number sits on documents, how å ä ö change alphabetical order, and the apostille route.Detail
NorwegianNorwegian has two official written standards, Bokmål and Nynorsk. Which one is your document in? Identity numbers, letter differences and the apostille route.Detail
DanishDenmark abolished its state authorised translator title in 2016. The vigesimal roots of written-out Danish numbers, and the CPR number.Detail
FinnishFinland has two official languages: is your document in Finnish or Swedish? Surnames that decline, fifteen grammatical cases and the apostille route.Detail
HebrewHebrew does not write vowels, so one spelling admits several readings. The Hebrew calendar, the numeric value of letters, and apostille procedure for Israeli documents.Detail
HungarianHungarian is the only European language that writes the surname first, and a married woman's name can change entirely on documents. Date order, agglutination and the apostille route.Detail
RomanianRomanian ș and ț carry a comma below, not the cedilla of Turkish ş and ţ. That Unicode difference breaks name matching. Document names and the apostille route.Detail
BulgarianBulgaria is one of the few countries to regulate Latin transliteration by statute. The three-part name structure, the -a on women's surnames, and the apostille route.Detail
SerbianSerbian is written in two alphabets, Cyrillic and Latin, mapping one to one. The same person's documents may use different alphabets, and what that means for matching.Detail
CroatianCroatian coins native words instead of borrowing international ones, which sets its administrative terms apart from its neighbours. Digraphs counted as single letters, and the domovnica.Detail
BosnianBosnia and Herzegovina has three official languages, two alphabets and two entities. Which is your document from? Shifted meanings in Turkish loanwords, and the apostille route.Detail
MacedonianThe country's name changed in 2019, so older and newer documents carry different names. The distinctive letters of Macedonian Cyrillic and the apostille route.Detail
SlovakSlovak adds -ová to women's surnames, a rule once applied to foreign names too. The birth surname field, the distinction from Czech, and the apostille route.Detail
UkrainianUkrainian is written in Cyrillic but it is not Russian. The 2010 romanisation (Kyiv or Kiev), Diia digital documents, and the most common mistake in name transliteration.Detail
LithuanianIn Lithuanian a woman's surname ending signals marital status and changes on marriage. A father and his daughter never carry identically spelled surnames.Detail
LatvianLatvian adapts foreign names to its own ending system, and the passport shows the original spelling on a separate line. Macronned vowels and the apostille route.Detail
AzerbaijaniAzerbaijani looks easy because it is close to Turkish, yet false friends produce more errors in this pair than any other. Alphabet differences, document names and the apostille route.Detail
GeorgianThe Georgian alphabet has no capital letters, so proper nouns are not marked by form. What surname endings mean, bilingual Soviet-era documents and the apostille route.Detail
ArmenianEastern and Western Armenian read the same letters differently: one surname can be both Petrosyan and Bedrosyan. Which standard, which spelling, and the apostille route.Detail
KazakhKazakhstan's alphabet transition is under way, so documents circulate in both Cyrillic and Latin. Two naming traditions, bilingual documents and the apostille route.Detail
KyrgyzKyrgyzstan has no alphabet transition: documents are issued in Cyrillic. The place of Russian on documents, name structure and the apostille route.Detail
TurkmenTurkmenistan is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so documents go through a four-step consular chain. An alphabet that changed twice, and false friends with Turkish.Detail
MoldovanMoldovan documents come in three layers: current Latin-script documents, Cyrillic Soviet-era ones, and two sets of records arising from dual citizenship.Detail

All languages

Languages without a page are covered to the same extent. A page opens only when there is something specific to say; we do not open pages in order to produce content.

If your language is not on the list

The list comes from the flag carousel on the previous site and reflects what the agency itself states. Write to us about a language you cannot see here and we will give you a straight answer.
