Legal texts

Whetever the field they may operate, most of our clients will need at a certain point in time translation of legal texts, e.g. agreements, company registration documents, court decisions, etc. for administrative purposes. Our translators produce translation texts with the required quality and using proper terminology.

Legalization оf Documents

Legalization of a document with the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not require any special license or other specific permission. Any company or individual can submit documents for legalization and receive them when ready. However using the services of an agency can save a lot of time, because agencies usually know every detail when it comes to legalize specific documents, business hours of relevant public institutions, and respective fees. AEDA assists clients with legalization of Bulgarian or foreign documents and provides consultation on prices, time frames and necessary additional procedures or supporting documents.

After I was diagnosed, Aeda did a great job – I got all my medical records translated in very tight deadlines and professionally, so I managed to contact a hospital outside Bulgaria in order to make appointments for further treatment.

All translators we employ at AEDA, before getting their first assignment from us, will have a translation test.

Reviewers

If we agree that a translator "creates" a text, than the editor is the one who will "polish" it afterwards. Many time the reviewer’s work is not easier that that of translators. Just like not every sportsman will make a good coach, not every good translator can become a high-quality and dependable reviewer. If you are an experienced reviewer, you like your job and are willing to make a change, we will be happy if you contact us. As we do with all translators, you will have a reviewing test before you are assigned any real job.
