Translation + Interpreting: an Integrated Language Service
When an assignment requires both the translation of documents and language assistance during a meeting, negotiation or signing appointment, the firm can arrange an integrated translation and interpreting service.
The relevant documentation can be reviewed and, where required, translated before the meeting. This allows key terminology to be identified in advance and helps maintain consistency between the written documents and the oral communication.
Where appropriate for the specific assignment, the service may also include the support of a native-language professional, selected according to the language combination and the requirements of the matter.
What the package may include
The service may include:
-
preliminary review of the documents for language purposes;
-
translation of contracts, powers of attorney, draft deeds, certificates or other documentation;
-
terminology preparation before the meeting;
-
interpreting in person or, where appropriate, remotely;
-
optional support from a native-language professional;
-
language coordination with lawyers, notaries, businesses or other professionals involved.
Entrusting both translation and interpreting to the firm allows the interpreter to become familiar with the documentation and terminology before the meeting, helping to maintain consistency between the written documents and the oral communication.
A dedicated package rate may be available where translation and interpreting are commissioned together. The quotation is based on the documents involved, the duration of the interpreting assignment, the language combination and the arrangements required.
For notarial deeds, language assistance is always organised in accordance with the arrangements agreed in advance with the notarial office handling the transaction.

Drafting notarial deeds, such as contracts, wills, property declarations and official legal documents, requires precise interpretation to avoid ambiguity.
The interpreter for notarial deeds plays a crucial role in the communication between the parties involved in the deed, as he does not limit himself to translating words, but facilitates mutual understanding throughout the entire process.
His task is to:
-
Translate the notarial deed into the chosen language, maintaining maximum fidelity to the original text, using the correct legal and judicial terminology.
-
Facilitate communication between the parties by translating explanations or questions that may arise during the process, to ensure that everyone fully understands the implications of the act.
-
Read the translated text aloud to the parties involved, so that they can review it and confirm that they have understood every part of the document.
-
Attach the translation to the original notarial deed in Italian, so that both versions (the one in Italian and the translated one) are recognized and signed by the parties as an integral part of the official document.
Since notarial deeds have legal value, every detail of the translation must be perfect. Notarial interpreters do not simply translate, but must also thoroughly understand the legal specifics of the text, respecting local and international regulations.
For this reason, only professionals with experience in legal interpreting and familiarity with notarial language should be involved in these activities.
An error in the translation of a notarial deed could invalidate the agreement or create legal confusion, with potentially disastrous consequences. It is essential that the parties understand exactly what they are signing, and the interpreter plays a key role in this process.
The wedding interpreter not only facilitates communication during the ceremony, but also plays an essential role in all the stages of the wedding, such as preparing documents, official declarations and understanding the local regulations governing the wedding.
-
During the wedding ceremony, whether religious or civil, it is essential that the bride and groom and their witnesses understand exactly what is being said by the celebrant or registrar. The interpreter translates speeches, wedding vows and readings accurately, ensuring that everyone present understands the solemnity and importance of each word.
-
Every marriage involves the signing of official documents that can have important legal implications. A legal interpreter can assist in the translation and understanding of agreements, marriage certificates, residency certificates and other documents and certificates, avoiding any misunderstandings that could compromise the validity of the marriage.
-
Declarations of Will and Promises. Often during the wedding, couples are required to declare their consent and their will to marry in a clear and unequivocal manner. The interpreter ensures that these declarations are made without equivocation, so that all formalities are respected.
-
In international marriages, there are often witnesses who do not speak Italian. The interpreter ensures that the witnesses can also understand the proceedings and the statements of the parties.
