Translate English Court Documents Portuguese
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
I have a set of English-language court documents that must be rendered into flawless, native-level Portuguese with every legal nuance intact. Because these files will be filed in court, accuracy, consistency of terminology, and preservation of original formatting are non-negotiable.
You should already be comfortable with Portuguese legal vocabulary, citation styles, and procedural references that typically appear in court filings, motions, affidavits, or judgments. Prior experience translating similar material is essential; I will ask for a short, anonymised sample of past work or a brief test excerpt to confirm suitability.
Deliverables
• Fully translated documents in an editable format (Word or compatible), mirroring the layout of the source files.
• A version with tracked changes or bilingual table for quick reference.
• Final proofread copy, free of errors, ready for court submission.
Acceptance criteria
• Terminology aligns with recognised Portuguese legal standards.
• No omissions, expansions, or paraphrasing of legal clauses.
• Formatting, numbering, exhibits, and footnotes match the original.
• All work treated as confidential and deleted from your system once the project is complete.
Please indicate your turnaround time for approximately X,000 words (provide your estimate), the CAT tools or glossaries you prefer, and any relevant certifications. I look forward to working with a detail-oriented professional who understands the stakes of legal translation.
