Official
documents such as birth certificates, degree certificates, transcripts
and driver's licenses are issued in different ways in different
countries, and there are specific formats and procedures that can be
used when translating these documents into English. This workshop aims
to clarify some of the questions the STIBC office has received over the
years and give suggested guidelines to members/translators who would
like to do official document translations.
Professional translators should be well organized in the following areas:
- accepting/receiving documents to be translated
- saving/storing documents
- creating templates
- translating
- preparing a translator's statement
- preparing your translation package
- delivering your translation package to clients
- invoicing
