Translation that keeps your award enforceable

International arbitration pulls parties, contracts, and evidence from several jurisdictions into one proceeding, so accurate translation is not optional. A tribunal or court needs faithful renderings of prior judgments, witness statements, financial records, and arbitration agreements before review. An error or an incomplete rendering can undermine the proceeding, delay enforcement, or leave an award open to challenge on appeal. Precise arbitration translation is what keeps the record clean and the panel's decision resting on what your documents actually say.

Tribunals and courts rely on the signed certification that affirms accuracy and translator competence, because that is what lets them trust a foreign-language document enough to base a decision on it. When an award or supporting document needs authentication for cross-border enforcement, notarization and apostille services keep the chain intact. If you want the broader sector overview rather than a specific deliverable, see our legal translation services.

ABC prepares court- and arbitration-ready translations in 120+ languages, word for word and, when the tribunal or an enforcing court calls for it, with a signed certified statement.

What is a certified translation?

What does a certified translation include?

Your certified translation package includes the complete English translation, a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy with the translator's credentials, and digital delivery in PDF format within 48 hours.

Hard copies with original signatures are available on request for an additional fee. The translation is formatted to meet tribunal and court requirements.

Are your translators qualified for this type of work?

Why do arbitration documents need certified translation?

Arbitral institutions and courts require certified translations so they can properly review and accept foreign-language documents. The signed certification affirms accuracy and translator competence. Incomplete or incorrect translation can weaken proceedings, slow enforcement, or put the award at risk.

Which arbitration documents need translation?

Typical arbitration files include prior judgments, witness statements, financial records, and arbitration agreements. Translate any document not in the language of the tribunal or court.

Can you authenticate documents for cross-border enforcement?

Yes. When enforcement abroad requires authenticated support documents or awards, the certified translation can accompany notarization or an apostille.

How fast can I get a certified translation?

Standard turnaround is 48 hours. For urgent deadlines, the expedited add-on reduces turnaround by 50 percent, delivering translations in 12 hours or less.

Can you translate documents with official stamps and seals?

Yes. We translate documents that carry official stamps, seals, and handwritten entries, such as judgments and notarized records. Our translators read various document formats and translate all visible text accurately, so the translation is complete and acceptable to the tribunal or court.

What if my documents have handwritten text?

We regularly translate documents with handwritten entries, which is common with witness statements and older records. Our translators read various handwriting styles and accurately interpret and translate handwritten text, official stamps, and marginal notes, so the translation is complete.

How much does arbitration document translation cost?

Professional arbitration translation is priced by word count at an average of $0.09 per word, which suits pleadings, memorials, and internal case materials. Certified pages, for the exhibits and awards a tribunal or enforcing court reviews, are priced per page and include the complete English translation and the signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. Expedited service, notarization, apostille, and hard copies with original signatures are available for additional fees.
