Translating regulatory documents isn’t easy, especially when it involves less common language combinations and tight deadlines. Recently, we supported a global chemical industry client with sworn translations from Dutch into English, Spanish and Portuguese, proving that with the right expertise and workflow, even complex projects can run smoothly.
The challenge
Our client, an international research and regulatory consultancy, needed a sworn translation of an official regulatory document. The catch? Not only was the deadline tight, but the language combinations – Dutch into English, Spanish and Portuguese – were uncommon. On top of that, each target country has specific legal requirements for sworn translations.
How we helped
To meet this challenge, we assembled a dedicated team of three native sworn translators, each specialised in chemical and regulatory content. Legally authorised to certify documents in their respective languages, they worked closely with our team to ensure accuracy and compliance. Continuous communication with the client enabled us to provide prompt feedback and maintain smooth collaboration throughout the project.
Step-by-step process
- Verified local requirements and translator registrations to ensure full compliance.
- Leveraged the translators’ chemical and regulatory expertise, with each translator producing and certifying the translation in their respective language.
- Conducted a thorough final QA review to ensure consistency and accuracy.
- Delivered a soft copy to the client for review and approval.
- Delivered electronically signed hard copies after client approval.
- Sent the final documents directly to the end client.
Results
- Time savings: Immediate access to authorised experts accelerated the process.
- Streamlined workflow: Native translators handled specialised content efficiently.
- Smooth handling of uncommon languages: All three translations were delivered on time.
- Accurate terminology: Chemical and legal terms, EU references and authorisation requirements were precisely rendered.
