Frequently asked questions
What is a certified translation?
A certified translation is prepared by an authorised translator and bears a certification statement, stamp and signature. Whether it is required and accepted in a particular case is determined by the receiving authority, court, notary or other requesting body.
Which languages can be requested?
Tell us the source language, target language and intended use. We then check whether the desired language combination can be covered personally or via the specialist network.
How do I get a quote for my document?
Send us the key details about the document, language combination and intended use. Once we have reviewed the actual documents, we will reply personally with an assessment of the price and turnaround time.
Why doesn't the website give fixed prices?
Price and processing time depend on language, scope, document type, certification and intended use. That's why ABBA-Sprachendienste checks the request first and then sends an individual, transparent offer.
Do I need an apostille for my translation?
An apostille confirms the authenticity of a public document for use abroad. Whether it is needed before or after the translation depends on the destination country and the receiving agency. Clarify the requirement in advance if possible; ABBA-Sprachendienste then classifies the document and translation route.
Can I have a power of attorney translated and certified?
Yes, powers of attorney are among the most common requests. What is important is the intended use, target country or authority, language direction and the question of whether a signature, notarial certification or apostille is required.
Is a photo of my document sufficient for the request?
For the first check, a sharp, fully visible photo or PDF is usually sufficient. ABBA-Sprachendienste will then inform you whether the original is also required for execution or certification.
Do you also interpret for authorities, courts, notaries or doctors?
Such appointments can be requested. Please state the location, date, time, duration, language and reason. ABBA-Sprachendienste checks availability, technical requirements and the appropriate billing basis individually.
Can I also make a request if my language is not on the list?
Yes. The website lists the documented service languages and remains expressly open to other language combinations. The decisive factors are the document, source and target language, subject area and intended use.
