TRANSLATION SERVICES

• TRANSLATION / EDITING

Native translators specialising in all types of translation. Dirdam Language Solutions offers translations in the majority of existing formats and language combinations (oriental languages, Arabic and its variants, Eastern European languages, etc.) to service the ever growing demand for globalisation.

All translations go through Quality Control to guarantee consistency and integrity of the translated text prior to delivery.

We also offer Editing services by professionals who are native in the target language and responsible for approving translations for the client when so required.

All this comes with the most advanced translation and management software tools and technology to guarantee maximum accuracy, speed and security in our work.

• SWORN TRANSLATION / DOCUMENT LEGALISATION

Sworn translations are translations which have official status before the authorities, and their aim is to mirror the content of the original text.

The text of a sworn translation may have any subject matter and is characterised solely by the specific format in which it is presented. A sworn translation can only be emitted in paper form, due to the fact that it must contain the original signature and seal of the sworn translator, who is qualified for that purpose by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, or other similar competent authority.

This type of translation is usually needed as a requirement from certain authorities (ministries, courts, academic institutions). The translations become sworn, and therefore official documents, when the sworn translator signs and seals them, and must always have the original document attached.

As mentioned on the MAEC web site, translations by Spanish sworn translators do not require legalisation to be effective in Spain. Nevertheless, the responsibility for being informed about all procedures needed so that their documents will be accepted by the competent authorities in the target language will always be the client's.

Interpreting modality where the interpreter take notes during the speaker’s exposition and translates orally the speech when the speaker finishes talking. For events with 2 or 3 languages and a small number of participants (meetings, press conferences, etc.).

• LIAISON INTERPRETING (BILATERAL) 

In this interpreting modality the interpreter accompanies a small number of participants who speak different languages and translates their comments building a communication bridge among them. For meetings between two or more people exchanging information (interviews, audits, etc.).
