We cover all 24 official languages of the European Union, plus numerous regional and Balkan languages.
Arabic is the second most translated language at Transdoc (15% of orders), owing to the large Maghrebi and Lebanese diaspora communities in France. We cover every regional variant.
We cover the main official and lingua franca languages of Africa, paying particular attention to documents from French-speaking countries (even when drafted in a local language) as well as English- and Portuguese-speaking countries.
We handle the main Asian languages, with translators specialised in every writing system (Chinese characters, Hangeul, Japanese syllabaries, Devanagari, and abugida scripts).
Beyond common languages, we provide access to expert judicial translators registered with the Cour de cassation (France's supreme court for civil and criminal matters) for very rare language combinations. These services require a longer assignment time (72 to 96 hours).
The rate per page (about 250 words) depends on the language pair, from €39 for the most common languages to €139 for the rarest. There is no coefficient or category surcharge: the price shown is the final price including VAT.

Language combinations are always determined by the document's intended final use.
All documents intended for a French administration, a court, a town hall, or a French consulate must be translated into French. Our main catalogue: 60+ source languages → FR.
French documents (civil status certificates, diplomas, judgments, contracts, articles of association) intended for use abroad (visa, studies, marriage, international inheritance, relocation). Available combinations: FR → 40+ target languages.
Our translators, sworn in France, primarily certify translations to and from French. For needs between two non-French languages (for example EN → ES without passing through French), we work with our international network to provide translation plus local certification in the destination country.
Guaranteeing consistent quality across 60+ languages is our daily challenge. Here are the five pillars of our approach.
Understanding these variants is essential for an accurate legal translation. Here are the main subtleties our translators take into account.
The People's Republic of China uses simplified characters (jiǎntǐzì). Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao use traditional characters. Our translators cover both systems depending on the document's origin.
Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is used in official administration in most countries. Regional variants appear in proper names, place names, and certain expressions: Moroccan Arabic (Darija), Algerian, Tunisian, Egyptian (Masri), Levantine (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine), and Gulf Arabic (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait).
Since the 1990 Orthographic Agreement, the two variants have grown closer, but significant lexical, grammatical, and administrative differences remain. A Brazilian document must be translated by a Brazilian translator, and a Portuguese document by a translator from Portugal.
Peninsular Spanish (Spain) differs from Latin American variants (Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, etc.) mainly at the lexical and administrative level. The Real Academia Española (Spain's royal academy for the Spanish language) coordinates with the 22 Latin American language academies.
Languages derived from the unified Serbo-Croatian of the former Yugoslavia, now officially recognised as distinct. The differences are mainly sociolinguistic and alphabetical (Cyrillic for Serbian, Latin for Croatian).
Spelling differences (colour vs color, traveller vs traveler), as well as legal and administrative terminology, are all taken into account. A US diploma is translated with the appropriate equivalence to the French LMD degree system, while a UK document follows UK terminology.
More than 60 source languages into French, and from French into 40+ target languages. Our network covers all official EU languages, all Arabic and Middle Eastern languages, the main Asian and African languages, and numerous rare languages through experts registered with the Cour de cassation.
Yes, both directions are possible. For use in France (prefectures, town halls, courts, consulates), the translation must always be INTO French. For use abroad (visa, studies, marriage, inheritance), the translation is done FROM French into the destination country's language.
Transdoc's top 10: English (28%), Arabic all variants (15%), Spanish (9%), Portuguese (7%), Italian (5%), Russian (4%), Mandarin Chinese (3%), German (2%), Romanian (2%), Turkish (2%). These 10 languages account for around 75% of our orders.
No: the rate per page depends on the language pair, from €39 for the most common languages (Italian, Romanian, Turkish…) to €139 for the rarest, with no extra coefficient (English €54, Spanish, German, Arabic €59, Japanese and Korean €75). See our full pricing table.
Yes. We always assign a translator familiar with the specific variant: Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian, Egyptian, Levantine, or Gulf Arabic; European or Brazilian Portuguese; Peninsular or Latin American Spanish; Simplified (PRC) or Traditional (Taiwan/Hong Kong) Chinese; British, American, Canadian, or Australian English.
No. For use in France, only a translator registered with a French Court of Appeal or on the national list of the Cour de cassation can produce a valid translation. A sworn translator in the UK, a traductor jurado in Spain, or a vereidigter Übersetzer in Germany is not recognised by the French administration.
Contact us directly at +33 1 84 80 21 20 or by email: we have access to the entire French network of expert judicial translators (the lists of all 36 Courts of Appeal, plus the national list of the Cour de cassation). Most rare combinations can be handled within 3 to 5 business days, sometimes via English as a pivot language.
Yes, allow 72 to 96 hours instead of the standard 3 business days for rare languages (Japanese, Korean, Thai, Tibetan, Khmer, Central Asian languages). Sworn translators for these combinations are limited in number, so assignment takes longer. An Priority service remains available for urgent cases, at an additional cost.
60+ source languages, 40+ target languages, regional variants covered, optimised turnaround times.
