Benefits
Access to a large network of professional legal translators.
When you send your legal texts to us for translation, you can rest assured that only the best translators will take care of the job. We only use translators who specialise in legal translation. We guarantee that all our translators are mother-tongue translators who:
- Have the relevant linguistic education at post-graduate level
- Have at least 5 years’ experience in translating legal documents
- Have at least two positive references
- Have passed a quality test and been subject to regular evaluations
- Have signed a non-disclosure agreement
We have a network of more than 2,000 affiliated freelance translators who offer translation to and from virtually all languages. We also have an internal team of language specialists who, in addition to translating and proofreading, also perform quality control and terminology management.
Legalisation of your translations
If you need to have your text legalised, we can assist not only with the actual translation, but also with obtaining the correct stamps on the documents from the Danish Chamber of Commerce and the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
For these tasks, we strive to use translators who are trained in performing legalised translations (previously called certified or authorised translation). We do this even though the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark has phased out the certification scheme for translators and interpreters, as we believe that not just anyone can prepare high quality legal translations.
Read more about the procedure for legalisation of translations on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark (http://um.dk/da/rejse-og-ophold/legalisering/).
Access to a large network of professional legal interpreters.
If you need a legal interpreter or interpreter specialising in law, we have a large network of affiliated professional interpreters. We offer many different interpreting solutions ranging from dialogue interpreting to simultaneous interpreting.

Help with terminology management
In legal texts, it is essential to use the correct terminology to prevent any misinterpretations. That is why it is a good idea to build up glossaries to ensure consistency in translations.
We use the latest cloud-based translation tools to make terminology management simple and efficient. With every text we translate for you, the translation memory and term base grows, which ensures consistently high quality, faster translations and lower prices.
Typically, one of our language specialists work closely with one of your specialists to create a list of terms and the correct/preferred translation for them. The language specialist regularly proposes changes and additions to be approved by the specialist at your workplace.
To get the full benefit of our language tools, you have the option of direct access to search in all relevant glossaries, term bases and translation memories. We can also create a “shared platform”, allowing your organisation to work on the same platform as us, which is particularly useful if you perform translation or proofreading tasks internally.
