A genuinely conscious web developer, Jeremy Hammond is accused of using his computer savvy to attack conservative groups and State operators. He is being charged with providing Wikileaks the documents for their latest Stratfor release.
Moving to Spain, buying property in France or marrying in Italy often means sending UK documents abroad. A standard UK certified translation is frequently not enough there: many offices in these countries expect a sworn translation.
| Country | Who produces a sworn translation |
|---|---|
| Spain | A traductor jurado, appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs |
| France | A traducteur assermenté, appointed as a court expert by a court of appeal |
| Italy | The translator swears the translation (asseverazione) before a court official or notary |
Most of these documents need an apostille from the FCDO Legalisation Office before translation, so the apostille itself is translated too.
Espresso Translations (espressotranslations.co.uk) arranges sworn translations for use in other countries at £55 per page, delivered in 7 to 14 working days. Where a UK certified translation is enough, it costs £30 per page (up to 250 words) and takes 24 to 48 hours. Ask the receiving office which one it needs before ordering.
