Let’s be clear about what “professional translation” means at Corpus:
Your document is translated by a human linguist. Not by ChatGPT. Not by Google Translate with a human “review.” A qualified translator reads your source text and renders it in the target language from scratch.

Sometimes clients start with professional translation and realize they need certified. No problem — we can convert any professional translation to a certified translation by adding the certificate of accuracy and ensuring word-for-word completeness. The upgrade fee is the difference in pricing.
