Court interpreter for German.
Certified translations into German directly from a permanent court interpreter at Bilingua, a translation office in the Zagreb area — with seal and signature, no intermediaries.
Bilingua's managing director is a permanent court interpreter for German and English, so we certify German official documentation in-house, and have done so since 1994.
Certification in-house, not through a network.
For German, the certified translation is prepared and certified by a permanent court interpreter — directly, with a seal and signature that are valid before courts, notaries and state administration bodies.
With us this is not a service we outsource: our managing director is herself a permanent court interpreter for German. The entire certification procedure is described on the certified translations page.
Documents for German, Austrian and Swiss authorities.
Most often we translate and certify documents for the recognition of qualifications (Anerkennung), employment, family reunification and doing business in the German-speaking area.
Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Certified translations from Croatian into German and from German into Croatian are accepted before authorities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
We do not obtain Apostilles and do not determine the order of certifications; please check what is required, and in what order, with the institution receiving the document.
Three decades with the German language.
German is one of the two languages we are directly authorised for and our most requested language pair — from conference interpreting for the institutions of the European Union to certified translations for German and Austrian companies and private clients.
What a certified German translation looks like.
A certified translation into German is a bound document: the translation is joined to the source text, carries the interpreter's seal and signature, and ends with a certification clause confirming that the translation corresponds to the original.
For authorities in the German-speaking countries, that clause is what makes the text an official document.
Since the German appointment is held in-house, by our managing director personally, the whole file stays with us from first reading to binding.
The layout follows the source document, and every stamp, handwritten note and correction is accounted for in the translation, so an official in Germany or Austria can compare the two texts line by line.
