Services · Document Translation
Document translation for every file, format, and field.
Accurate, human translation of your documents, legal, medical, technical, financial, and marketing, in 300+ languages. Quality-assured, returned ready to use, and certified whenever you need it.
Document translation is the conversion of written material, contracts, manuals, records, reports, and marketing, from one language into another by professional human linguists, preserving meaning, tone, terminology, and layout. At MultiLingual Technologies (MLT), every project is translated by a subject-matter linguist and reviewed by a second expert before it reaches you.
Why it matters
A translation is only as good as its accuracy
Documents carry meaning, obligations, and risk, a translation has to carry all three, intact.
Meaning, not word-for-word
A good translation preserves intent, tone, and terminology, not just the words. A literal, machine-only swap reads wrong and can change what a document actually says.
The cost of getting it wrong
In a contract, a medical record, or a financial filing, one mistranslation carries real legal and financial consequences. Human expertise and review are how you avoid them.

FAQ
Document translation questions
Document translation is the conversion of written content, such as contracts, records, manuals, and marketing, from one language into another by professional linguists, preserving the original meaning, terminology, and formatting. Unlike interpreting, which is spoken and happens live, translation is written and independently reviewed for accuracy before it's delivered.
Most document translation is priced per word, and the rate depends on the language pair, subject complexity, and turnaround. You'll get a clear, itemized quote before any work begins, usually within one business day.
Turnaround depends on length and complexity. Many standard documents are ready within a few business days; we'll give you a firm timeline with your quote, and rush service is available when you're against a deadline.
Yes. We handle scanned documents and image files, recreating the layout so the translation matches the original, you don't need a clean, editable source file.
We build a glossary and translation memory for each client, so key terms stay consistent across every project, and repeated content is translated faster and at lower cost over time.
Always. We work under HIPAA- and SOC 2-compliant processes, sign NDAs on request, and limit access to the linguists assigned to your project.
I've used MLT for multiple translation projects and am consistently impressed with their quality and speed. They've provided services in over 18 languages.
