Reduce Compliance Risk with Human-Powered Document Translation Services 

Compliance, clinical, and legal teams need a document translation provider to deliver written content that is understood across languages — without sacrificing intent, meaning, quality, or accuracy. 

At Certified Languages International (CLI), every translation is completed by professional human translators. Errors that could lead to rework or be flagged for compliance review are identified and addressed through a multi-step quality assurance process. 

If Patient Safety, Reputation, or Legal Risk Are on the Line, Go with Professional Document Translations Services

If you’re weighing options between providers, AI-driven solutions, or both, think about the amount of risk your content can absorb. AI without oversight can falter with cultural nuance and generate misleading information. If even a small error can raise a red flag, the priority shifts from speed or cost to human accountability and verifiable quality.

This is why clients turn to us for professional translation when precision matters:

3-Step Quality Review Process

Every translation follows a full TEP (translation, editing, and proofreading) process designed to catch errors and strengthen the translation before delivery:

  1. Initial translation by qualified linguist
  2. Independent edit by a second qualified linguist against original text to verify accuracy, terminology choice, and flow
  3. Final QA and proofread to fix typos and ensure correct formatting

Industry-Specific Translation Expertise

Frequently Asked Questions

What Makes a Translation “Certified” and When Do I Need One?

A certified document translation includes a signed statement attesting that the translation is accurate and complete. This certification is often required by immigration offices, courts, universities, and government agencies. Upon request, we can include this attestation from an authorized signer, ensuring your documents meet all submission requirements.

We can return most documents within 2 to 4 business days, but the document’s length, complexity, and language can affect turnaround time. We’ll provide an expected time frame with your quote request, and expedited service is available for urgent requests.

Our document translation rates vary by language. All languages are priced by the word, and each project receives a customized estimate. One of the many benefits of having CLI maintain your translated documents is that future updates will be faster, easier, and less expensive than the initial cost of translation.

A full TEP (translation, editing, and proofreading) process is included in the per-word price quote, along with basic typesetting services and built-in project management and quality assurance time. Additional formatting fees are charged by the hour and will be quoted up front, prior to translation.
