SWORN TRANSLATION OF A CONTRACT

A contract is a legally binding agreement between two or more parties setting out the terms and conditions of a transaction or exchange of goods or services. This document sets out the obligations and responsibilities of the parties involved in the transaction and can be used as evidence in legal disputes.

There are different types of contracts depending on the purpose and nature of the transaction. Some of the most common contract types are the sales contracts, leases, employment contracts, service contracts, partnerships and loans.

The official translation of a contract is necessary whenever you need to demonstrate ensure the accuracy and legal validity of the document in question in another language. For example, if a British company is trying to do business with a company in Spain, it is likely that a sworn translation of the contract will be required to ensure that both parties have an equal understanding of the terms and conditions.

Why is it important that contracts are translated by sworn translators?

Legal contracts are critical documents that establish the rights and obligations of each party and often involve large sums of money. It’s important that everybody involved in the transaction has a complete and clear understanding of the content of the contract. A sworn translation can ensure that misunderstandings and misinterpretations that could lead to disputes and litigation are avoided.

It’s also common for courts to require an official translation of contracts in cases where one of the parties involved does not speak the language in which the document has been drafted. A translation by official translators provides an accurate and legally recognised version of the contract that can be used as evidence in a legal dispute.

In short, the need for an official translation of a contract arises whenever it is necessary to ensure the accuracy and legal validity of the document in question. In situations involving international business, large sums of money and legal disputes, an official translation can avoid misunderstandings and costly disputes.

How much do official translations of contracts cost and who can offer them?

Price is normally the main query about sworn translation services. Since a contract is a document consisting of several pages, translators usually charge a fixed fee for each word translated, although a fixed price for each page of the contractmay also be agreed, on the assumption that all pages have more or less the same number of words.

The important thing, in any case, is to ensure that your document is translated by an official accredited sworn translator who offers the highest degree of accuracy, and who is recognised by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is an essential requirement for translations to be accepted in Spain.
