Court documents, translated part by part.
Judgments, decisions and rulings, claims and appeals, laws and regulations, powers of attorney and notarial deeds. The kind of document is recognised, and each one is translated the way that kind is written.
PDF, scanned PDF, Word and more. You see the price before you pay.
Every part where it belongs.
- A decision, in its order.
- Court and case number, title, introduction, the operative part, the reasoning, the instruction on legal remedy, place, date and signatures: each part in its order, under the heading a court in the other language uses for it where there is one.
- The orders exactly as given.
- Each item of the operative part keeps its addressee, amount, interest, time limit and condition. Items are never merged, split or reordered.
- Who said what.
- What a party claimed stays what that party claimed; it is never turned into what the court found. A party’s designation fits the kind of case: a civil defendant is never “the accused”.
- The time limit for an appeal.
- The remedy, its time limit, the event the time limit runs from and where to file it, exactly as in the original.
- Laws keep their numbering.
- Parts, chapters, articles, paragraphs and items keep their numbers and labels, and every cross-reference points to the same place as in the original.
- Powers of attorney and notarial deeds.
- The stamps, seals and certifications are translated too. On a scan, stamps and signatures stay on the page, with a note of what each says.
Every number accounted for.
A court document comes with a translation audit: a separate PDF that lists every number, date, code and name of the original, and shows where the translation has it. Anything that needs a person’s eye is listed first.
It is made by fixed rules, not by AI, so it says the same thing every time, and it is made again after your corrections. It shows that the figures and names match; it does not judge the meaning.
Before you file it.
Courts, registries and authorities usually ask for a certified translation: a sworn translator’s stamp and signature. Glotbee Personal does not certify, and does not give legal advice.
Sworn translator? Glotbee Professional adds your certification clause, stamp, numbered pages and your register. See Glotbee Professional.

Questions
Will a court accept the translation?
Courts usually ask for a certified translation, with a sworn translator’s stamp and signature. Glotbee Personal does not certify. The translation is careful: reviewed, proofread, and checked against the original for numbers, dates and names. Choose Thorough for documents you will file.
Can a sworn translator certify my Glotbee translation?
That is the translator’s decision: they must check it and take responsibility for it. You can download the translation as Word, so a sworn translator can review it. Sworn translators use Glotbee Professional to certify their work.
Can it read a scanned or photographed document?
Yes. A scanned page is straightened and its light evened out, every line is read twice, and the translation is set where each line was. If you have a photo of a page, save it as a PDF first. See scanned PDFs.
Who sees my documents?
You, and anyone you invite. Files are stored encrypted with your own key. To translate them, the text goes to AI providers that work under data processing agreements and do not train on it. You can mask ID numbers, account numbers and contact details before anything is sent.
Which languages?
Over 50: the languages of Europe, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi and the other main languages of India, Turkish, Persian, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, Swahili and more. See every language. A PDF or a scan is translated into languages written in Latin, Cyrillic or Greek letters for now; for the others, upload it as a Word file.
