Sworn Translation宣誓翻译
A sworn translation is a translation prepared and certified by a translator who is authorized by the relevant official or legal body in jurisdictions that recognize this category. It typically includes a signature, stamp, seal, or statement that confirms the translator’s authority and attests that the translation faithfully corresponds to the source document for official use by bodies such as courts or government offices.

Where this term appears
Sworn translations are requested for official documents such as birth certificates, academic transcripts, contracts, or immigration files. In translation workflows, agencies or clients coordinate these separately from routine localization content, because the translator’s authority and physical or digital certification requirements differ by jurisdiction; teams may manage handoffs and formatting but not the certification itself.
Translation checks
Assuming that any certified translator or notarized translation can serve as a sworn translation is a common error; the authorized status depends on the country or institution. Altering the translated text, layout, or digital file after certification may also invalidate the sworn status and cause rejection by the requesting authority.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Creative and consumer content needs accurate meaning as well as tone and context. Subtitles, interfaces and voice scripts also require checks for timing, character limits and pronunciation.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
