Translation
Translation is the written conversion of text from one language to another. Informal Communication: For basic communication or short, informal texts (e.g., emails), online translators may be sufficient. Official Documents: For official documents, legal texts, contracts, or academic work, it is highly recommended to contact a professional translator who understands linguistic and cultural nuances. Sworn Translations: For documents required by authorities (e.g., birth certificates, diplomas), you must use a sworn translator (certified by the state). A register of certified translators can be found on the official website of the Ministry of Justice: Justice.cz.
Interpreting
Interpreting is the oral conversion of a message from one language to another during a speech, meeting, or conversation. An interpreter often conveys not only the language but also the cultural context, helping clients better understand the situation in a foreign environment. Professional interpreting is particularly recommended for: Meetings at the Municipal Authority (Městský úřad), Police of the Czech Republic, or the Labor Office (Úřad práce). Legal Proceedings: For court hearings, notary acts, or company formation, the use of a sworn interpreter is mandatory by law. A register of sworn interpreters is available at Justice.cz.
