What Is a Standard Translation?

Standard vs Certified Translation

A standard translation is a professional translation of your content produced purely to communicate meaning clearly and naturally in another language. It is the right choice when the goal is understanding rather than official proof, for example websites, brochures, internal reports, manuals and personal correspondence.

A standard translation does not come with a signed statement of accuracy, so it is not intended for submission to official bodies. That keeps it faster and more flexible: our linguists can focus on tone, style and readability, adapting the wording so it feels natural to your audience rather than following the strict, literal format that official documents require.

A certified translation is different. It carries a signed Statement of Truth confirming the translation is complete and accurate, and it is what the Home Office, universities, courts and other official bodies require. If your document will be submitted to any such body, you need a certified translation, not a standard one.

As a simple rule: choose a standard translation when you want clear, professional communication for business or personal purposes, and choose a certified translation when an official organisation needs formal proof of accuracy. If you are ever unsure which applies, we are happy to advise before you order.

Common Questions
Standard Translation FAQ
What is the difference between a standard and a certified translation?−
A standard translation is a professional translation for business or personal use, focused on clear, natural communication. A certified translation adds a signed Statement of Truth and is accepted by official bodies such as the Home Office and universities. Choose standard when no official certification is needed.
When should I choose a standard translation?+
Choose a standard translation for websites, marketing, manuals, internal documents, articles and personal correspondence, or any content where the aim is to be understood rather than to provide formal proof to an official body.
Can a standard translation be upgraded to certified later?+
In most cases yes. If you later need the same document certified for official use, contact us and we can prepare a certified version with a signed Statement of Truth. It is usually quicker and cheaper to order the correct service from the start, so let us know the intended use up front.
What file formats do you accept?+
We accept the common formats including Word, PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, plain text and most web-content exports. If you have a less common format, send it over and we will confirm we can handle it.
How is standard translation priced?+
Standard translation starts from £29.95 per standard page of up to 250 words. Larger jobs and ongoing work can be quoted per word or per project. Send us your content for a tailored quote.
How long does a standard translation take?+
Standard-length content is usually delivered within 2 to 3 business days. Larger projects are scheduled around your deadline; tell us your timeframe and we will confirm a delivery date.
Which languages do you cover?+
We translate in 100+ languages across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. If you have an unusual language pair, contact us and we will confirm availability and pricing.

About Our Standard Translation Service

Official Translations provides professional standard translation services for businesses and individuals across the UK and beyond. Our standard (non-certified) service is designed for content where the goal is clear, natural communication rather than formal certification: websites, marketing material, manuals, internal documents, articles and everyday correspondence.

Every standard translation is produced by a professional linguist who specialises in the relevant subject and language, so the finished text reads naturally to your audience rather than sounding mechanical. We adapt tone and terminology to fit the context, whether that is a customer-facing marketing campaign or an internal technical manual.

Standard translation differs from certified translation. A certified translation carries a signed Statement of Truth and is required by official bodies such as the Home Office, universities and courts. A standard translation carries no certification, which makes it faster and more flexible for business and personal use. If an official organisation needs your document, choose the certified service.

We translate into 100+ languages, from Spanish, French, German and Italian to Polish, Romanian, Arabic, Ukrainian and Mandarin. Whether you need a single letter translated or an entire website localised, our team delivers accurate, natural translations on time. For a tailored quote, contact us with your content and target language.
