Standard Translation

A Standard Translation, as well as a Sworn Translation, requires translators to master not only the source and target languages, but also the topic and the specific terminology. Specific terminology often includes technical or legal terminology. Basically, what distinguishes a Sworn Translation from a Standard Translation is that the former is endowed with Public Faith because it is performed by a Public Translator, while the latter is not.

A translation that is not public, or if you prefer, not sworn, is known as a standard translation. Anyone who has the necessary expertise can make a standard translation. A Sworn Translator is not required in this case. Standard translations can cover a much wider range than sworn translations, and they include literary, scientific, advertising, technical texts, and much more.
