Legal Translations – linguistically precise, legally sound, and certified to DIN EN ISO 17100

Legal translations rank among the most demanding disciplines in the field of specialized translation. They require not only exceptional language skills, but also an in-depth understanding of different legal systems, technical terminology, and cultural contexts. Whether it’s international contracts, court documents, general terms and conditions, or legislative texts – legal content must be rendered not only accurately, but also with absolute clarity and legal certainty in the target language. That’s exactly where Bohemian Dragomans® comes in.

As a language service provider certified under DIN EN ISO 17100, we deliver professional legal translations you can rely on – fully compliant with standards, grounded in expertise, and ready for use worldwide.

What are legal translations – and why are they so challenging?

Legal translations involve converting legally relevant documents into another language. Typical examples include:
• Contracts (such as purchase, licensing, or employment agreements)
• Court rulings and lawsuits
• Articles of association and statutes
• Commercial register extracts
• Wills and certificates of inheritance
• General terms and conditions (GTCs), privacy policies, and legal notices
• Notarial deeds

The particular complexity of legal translations lies in the fact that the meaning of every single word can carry legal consequences. Terminology must not only be precise, but also properly anchored in the respective legal system. Legal systems can differ significantly – terms that have a clear meaning in one language may not even exist in another, or might be used in a completely different way. That’s why a purely linguistic translation simply isn’t enough: it requires genuine legal expertise – precisely what our teams of specialists bring to the table.

Our approach: understanding the law, mastering the language

At Bohemian Dragomans®, we work exclusively with legally trained translators, many of whom hold degrees in law or business law. They possess in-depth knowledge of national and international legal frameworks, combined with years of experience translating legal texts. They’re supported by specialized revisers and proofreaders who apply our rigorous four- or six-eye principle to ensure maximum content accuracy.

Our dedicated project managers guarantee a structured and transparent process – from preparing your quote to selecting the right experts and ensuring on-time delivery. Every step is documented, reviewed, and carried out in line with the requirements of DIN EN ISO 17100 – for maximum security, quality, and traceability.

Quality through standardization – DIN EN ISO 17100

As a certified language service provider under DIN EN ISO 17100, we meet the highest standards for qualifications, process structures, and quality assurance. The standard requires, among other things:
• The use of qualified specialist translators with proven credentials

• Compliance with client-specific terminology and style guidelines
• Transparent project management and archiving

In addition, we follow the principles of the DIN EN ISO 9001 standard, continuously refining our internal processes to ensure reliable, structured, and cost-effective collaboration for our clients.

Confidentiality and data protection – naturally guaranteed

Legal documents typically contain sensitive, confidential information. For us as professional service providers, data protection isn’t just lip service – it’s an integral part of our daily work. We process all data in accordance with the GDPR and ensure compliance with the highest security standards through robust technical and organizational measures. We’re also happy to sign individual confidentiality agreements or NDAs – in multiple languages if needed.

As a language service provider certified under DIN EN ISO 17100, we support organizations across all industries in managing their multilingual communication professionally, efficiently, and consistently – across all formats, target markets, and departments.

What is Translation Management?

Translation management goes far beyond organizing translation projects. It encompasses the entire planning, coordination, execution, and quality assurance of a company’s linguistic content. The goal is to ensure consistently high quality, efficiency, and cost control in multilingual communication through standardized processes and optimized workflows.

We place great importance on personal service: each client is supported by a dedicated project manager who centrally coordinates all assignments, monitors deadlines, and serves as your go-to expert. This ensures a smooth, transparent, and dependable workflow – even for large or complex projects.

Quality You Can Count On – DIN EN ISO 17100

As a certified language service provider under DIN EN ISO 17100, we meet the highest standards of professionalism, quality control, and process efficiency. This standard defines binding requirements regarding translator qualifications, work procedures, project management, documentation, and revision. Every translation we deliver undergoes a two-step review process – and for sensitive materials, we apply a three-step quality check.

Thanks to these standardized procedures, we can guarantee consistent, traceable, and reliable results – across all languages and industries.

Our Tools for Your Multilingual Portfolio

Modern translation management is hardly imaginable without smart technology. At Bohemian Dragomans®, we rely on robust CAT tools, translation memory systems, and carefully maintained glossaries and style guides. These tools not only ensure linguistic consistency but also provide long-term efficiency gains – because previously translated content can be reused in future projects without redundancy.

We also maintain internal knowledge databases and terminology archives for our clients – a complimentary service that’s fully integrated into our quality management process.

High-End Technical Translations – precise, certified, efficient

Technical translations rank among the most demanding disciplines in the language services industry. They require far more than linguistic skill alone: they call for in-depth technical expertise, absolute precision, and a clear understanding of standards, systems, and target markets. Bohemian Dragomans® is your trusted partner for professional technical translations in line with DIN EN ISO 17100 – internationally deployable, terminologically consistent, and guaranteed to meet legal requirements.

Our commitment: quality with a system

As a language service provider certified according to DIN EN ISO 17100, we are committed to the highest standards of quality, qualification, and process security. Every technical translation project we handle follows clearly defined procedures – from your initial inquiry through specialist translation by qualified technical linguists all the way to final revision under our rigorous four- or six-eyes principle. This ensures your documents are not only error-free, but also compelling in content, style, and format – whether they are manuals, operating instructions, safety data sheets, product documentation, or technical specifications.

Where technical expertise meets linguistic excellence

At Bohemian Dragomans®, all translations are carried out by native-speaking professionals with academic degrees in engineering, technical fields, or natural sciences, or by seasoned translators who have long specialized in technical subject matter. They are supported by a skilled team of revisers, terminologists, and project managers who carefully adhere to your internal guidelines, formatting requirements, and corporate language. Thanks to our proven dedicated team principle, the same translators and revisers handle your projects over time, ensuring maximum consistency and efficiency.

No subcontractors, no middlemen – 100% quality under one roof

Unlike many traditional agencies, we don’t outsource projects to third parties or anonymous platforms.

This gives you complete peace of mind, top-level confidentiality, and fair pricing with no hidden mark-ups.

Technology that saves you time and money

To further enhance the quality and efficiency of technical translations, we use state-of-the-art CAT tools like SDL Trados – a translation memory system that stores your previously translated content and automatically reuses it in future projects. This guarantees linguistic consistency, precise terminology, and shorter turnaround times – all while reducing costs. We also build and maintain client-specific terminology databases and glossaries, which are seamlessly integrated into each of your projects.

Certified translations – legally sound, precise, and DIN EN ISO 17100-certified

Certified translations are an essential tool in international communication whenever official documents need to be recognized abroad. Whether it’s birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, court rulings, commercial register excerpts, or notarized contracts – authorities and institutions frequently require a certified translation of such documents. Bohemian Dragomans® is your trusted partner for linguistically and legally flawless translations that meet the highest quality standards. As a language service provider certified under DIN EN ISO 17100, we guarantee compliant processes, qualified specialist translators, and professional project execution – in any language and for any purpose.

What is a certified translation?

A certified translation is a translation prepared by a sworn or officially authorized translator and accompanied by a certification statement. This attests that the translation is complete, accurate, and faithful to the original document. The translator also signs and stamps the document, adding the date. This makes the translation a legally valid document that is recognized by courts, authorities, and universities both domestically and internationally.

When do you need a certified translation?

Certified translations are required whenever official bodies or institutions demand an officially recognized, legally valid version of a foreign-language document. Typical scenarios include:
• Immigration and visa matters
• Getting married abroad or having a marriage recognized
• Studying or obtaining professional recognition in another country
• Legal proceedings
• Probate cases and wills
• Official registrations and entries in commercial registers

Our approach: Quality with a system

At Bohemian Dragomans®, we work exclusively with translators who have proven qualifications and official authorization or swearing-in. Our processes strictly follow DIN EN ISO 17100, which lays down requirements for translator qualifications, quality assurance, and project documentation. Every certified translation is also reviewed under the four-eye principle – and for particularly sensitive content, we offer an optional six-eye review process.

We also place great emphasis on customer-friendly handling: simply send us your document as a scan or photo by email, we’ll prepare a transparent quote, and once you approve, you’ll receive your certified translation both digitally as a PDF (for preview) and as a hard copy by post.

Apostille, legalisation, and higher authentication – what does it mean?

In many cases, a certified translation alone is not enough. When an official document is to be used abroad, many countries additionally require an apostille or legalisation. An apostille is a simplified form of authentication issued by a competent authority in the country where the document originated (for example, a district court or regional government office) that certifies the authenticity of the signature and seal on the original document (not on the translation).

There’s also the concept of higher authentication (known in German as Überbeglaubigung), which is a broader term covering all procedures where the authenticity of a previous certification is confirmed again by a higher authority – for example, when after a notarial certification, a regional court or the foreign ministry certifies the notary’s signature. Higher authentication is especially necessary if the destination country is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention and instead requires full legalisation via diplomatic channels.

We’ll be happy to advise you individually on whether you need an apostille, higher authentication, or legalisation for your specific case – and we can also translate any accompanying endorsements as needed.

Conclusion: Legal certainty backed by expertise

Certified translations demand more than just language skills – they require a deep understanding of formal requirements, legal precision, and international standards. At Bohemian Dragomans®, we combine all these aspects into a reliable service that convinces on both content and legal grounds. We ensure your documents are recognized and accepted worldwide – linguistically precise, legally secure, and delivered right on time.

Bohemian Dragomans® – your certified partner for certified translations.

The term “localisation” means the adaptation of contents and processes, as well as software, to a specific sales location or area of usage with consideration of the linguistic and cultural setting. Naturally, for such a project, we have qualified partners who are intimately familiar with the accepted norms and conventions of other countries and cultures.

Proofreading means review and the adjustment of grammar, syntax and spelling. Editing also includes a content review. If you would like to have a text revised in terms of its language and content, then we are the right partner for you. Qualified proofreaders and editors will ensure your documents are correct and that the content is accurate so you can confidently be out of harm’s way at all times. If you do not like a text’s linguistic style, our proofreaders/editors will rework it stylistically so it is right for the target country and the specific field.

Marketing Translations that Make an Impact – Creative, Culturally Sensitive, and Certified to DIN EN ISO 17100

In today’s globalized world, market success depends on more than just product quality and service—it’s also about how companies communicate with their target audience. Whether it’s a website, an ad campaign, or social media content: anyone aiming to take their brand message global needs more than a direct translation—they need to convey emotions, values, and cultural nuance. That’s exactly where Bohemian Dragomans® steps in with expert marketing translations.

As a language service provider certified under DIN EN ISO 17100, we deliver not only linguistically accurate but also stylistically and culturally compelling marketing translations—for all platforms, markets, and audiences.

What Are Marketing Translations—And What Makes Them Unique?

Marketing translations are a different beast from traditional technical translations. They don’t follow a word-for-word formula but instead require creative and targeted adaptation of the original content. It’s about understanding not only what the text says, but how it says it—tone, style, audience appeal, and cultural subtleties all matter.

Typical marketing content we translate for our clients includes:

• Websites and landing pages

• Advertisements (print & digital)

• Social media content

• Brochures, flyers, product catalogs

• Newsletters and email marketing

• Brand messages and storytelling

• Corporate presentations

The goal: authentic, persuasive, and effective messaging. A successful marketing translation triggers the same emotional response as the original—just in a different language and culture.

Our Strength: Where Creativity Meets Expertise

At Bohemian Dragomans®, we work with a curated network of marketing translators who are not only linguistically fluent but also creatively skilled and culturally attuned. All translators are native speakers with proven marketing experience—be it in B2B, B2C, or niche sectors.

They are supported by seasoned revisors, copywriters, and editors who ensure that every translation is not just correct, but creatively polished and impactful. All our processes comply with the strict quality standards of DIN EN ISO 17100, which sets clear guidelines for translator qualifications, revision workflows, and documentation practices.

Transcreation – When a Literal Translation Just Won’t Cut It

Sometimes a conventional translation isn’t enough—especially when it comes to slogans, headlines, or culturally loaded wordplay. That’s where our transcreation services come into play: a creative process that reimagines your message in a new linguistic and cultural context—always in close coordination with you.

The goal is to retain the core identity of your brand while making sure it resonates just as strongly in the target market. That includes tone, visual language, humor, color symbolism, and cultural norms.

Technology-Driven Efficiency—Without Sacrificing Style

We also rely on cutting-edge CAT tools, translation memory systems, and custom-built style guides and glossaries. These ensure your tone, terminology, and brand identity remain consistent across all content and campaigns—while simultaneously creating time and cost efficiencies through reuse and smart automation.

Our project managers will gladly support you in developing glossaries, maintaining your corporate language, or rolling out your marketing content for international audiences in a structured, scalable way.

Your Benefits with Bohemian Dragomans®:

• Certified to DIN EN ISO 17100

• Native-speaking translators with marketing expertise

• Creative transcreation instead of rigid translation

• Brand consistency through glossaries, style guides, and TMs

• Personalized service from experienced project managers

• Transparent workflows and dedicated points of contact

• Optional 6-eye principle for highly sensitive content

Conclusion: Impactful Global Brand Communication

Marketing texts aren’t just translated—they’re adapted. At Bohemian Dragomans®, we don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we craft bespoke marketing translations that express your message with creativity, style, and cultural precision. Whether you’re launching a new product, localizing your website, or executing a global campaign—we speak the language of your target audience.

Bohemian Dragomans® – because effective brand communication knows no borders.
Inspiring. Precise. Globally successful.

This area of service mainly includes translation of financial results, consolidated financial statements and company reports. As is the case with technical translation, here we also are increasingly employing the use of CAT tools, which leads to consistency of terminology throughout the translation. The translations we complete in this field are undertaken, as you have come to expect with us, by qualified specialist translators who are fully conversant with and experienced in this highly complex area.

If you need us to, we will organise layout and photo galleries, as well as the printing of brochures, flyers, catalogues, etc., in any format. Thanks to SDL Trados, we are able to process 35 different file types, such as Microsoft Office, Framemaker, InDesign and other formats, and to deliver the documents completely typeset and camera-ready (ready for print). In consultation with us, even scanned documents in non-editable formats (PDF, BMP, JPEG …) can be processed and returned to you as formatted Microsoft Office files so that the translated file matches the source file (e.g. PDF) page for page and line for line.
