Main differences between free translation (simple translation) and sworn translation

Main differences between free translation (simple translation) and sworn translation
  • The sworn translation can only be made by a sworn translator, licensed and certified, while the simple translation can be carried out by any professional in the area and in the language.
  • The sworn translation must be printed on the translator’s letterhead, with his signature. The free translation is not printed on letterhead and also does not require signature.
  • The same documents may be sworn translation or simple translation, such as school records and certificates. The difference is that in the simple translation, they have no official value.
  • The values of the sworn translation follow the rules of the commercial board of each state, while in the free translation, the budgets are made based on the number of words of the documents to be translated.

Perguntas e Respostas

Can any professional do Free Translation?

Yes, any professional with knowledge and domain of a foreign language can work with simple translation (free translation).

Does the professional translator care more about the context than with the literal translation itself?

Yes. In the free translation, there is a concern about the context, itself. A good example of this is the movies. Not always the titles are translated in the literal sense, many professional translators take into account the context and adapt a better title according to the language/country/culture of destination. This happens very often in movies with translation from English to Portuguese. Often the titles in Portuguese are very different from the original title in English.

What is the delivery time of a Free translation?

The delivery time, in the simple translation, varies according to the volume of the material to be translated, the need/urgency of the client, and the availability of the translator.
