How we supported a global chemical industry client with sworn translations in three uncommon language combinations under a tight deadline

The client and the challenge

Our client is an international research and regulatory consultancy providing laboratory and field testing, as well as regulatory dossier preparation, to stakeholders in the chemical, agricultural and biocidal sectors.

For this project, the client required the sworn translation of an official regulatory document. The challenge lay not only in the tight deadline but also in the uncommon language combinations – Dutch into English, Spanish and Portuguese. In addition, each target country has specific legal requirements for sworn translations.

Our solution

We developed a carefully structured workflow to guarantee the project’s success. A dedicated team of three native sworn translators – each specialised in chemical and regulatory content – performed the translations into English, Spanish and Portuguese. Legally authorised to certify documents in their respective languages, they ensured precision and compliance. Throughout the process, our project team maintained seamless communication with the client, providing prompt feedback and ensuring smooth, efficient collaboration from start to finish.

Implementation steps

Verified the requirements for each target country, including the document’s intended use and each sworn translator’s registration, to ensure full local compliance.
Leveraged the translators’ strong chemical and regulatory expertise, with each translator producing and certifying the translation in their respective language.
Conducted a thorough final QA review of the sworn translation to ensure consistency and accuracy.
Provided the client with a soft copy for review and approval.
Delivered the final version as an electronically signed hard copy.
Sent the documents directly to the end client.

Results

Time savings: Thanks to our extensive translator pool, authorised experts were available immediately.
Streamlined process: Translations were performed by native sworn translators with strong chemical expertise.
Uncommon language combinations handled seamlessly: Dutch → English, Spanish and Portuguese translations were produced in parallel and delivered on time.
