Frequently asked questions

What does translation, interpreting and language management cover?

Language services across official documents, contracts and meetings, with a clear line between what needs certification, what a plain translation covers, and what must move on to consular legalisation. It currently contains 5 sub-services: Certified document translation · Legal and contract translation · Simultaneous and consecutive interpreting · Court and legal interpreting · Subtitling and voice-over.

How do I pick the right sub-service in translation, interpreting and language management?

Start from "where will this be used and who reviews it?" That identifies the receiving authority, and the receiving authority — not the other way round — dictates the format of work required.

Can several services run in parallel?

Often yes, and it usually saves time because the same base documents are reused. Some pairs have a mandatory order, though — certified translation cannot precede a fully certified source document.

Where is translation, interpreting and language management available?

Bangkok, Khon Kaen, Udon Thani and Nong Khai, plus online intake from every province and from overseas.

When is certified document translation the right choice?

Translation of official and personal documents with a translator certification page, for filing with Thai authorities or onward certification at the Department of Consular Affairs. Unlike a plain translation, this carries a certification page and an accountable translator. Plain translation suffices for internal use; official filings and overseas use require the certified version.

When is legal and contract translation the right choice?

Translation of contracts, articles of association, judgments and case files, preserving defined terms, operative wording and statutory references. Where official-document translation tracks a fixed form, contract translation prioritises terminological consistency and binding effect.

When is simultaneous and consecutive interpreting the right choice?

Interpreters for conferences, negotiations, training and seminars, in booth-based simultaneous or consecutive mode. Simultaneous suits large time-bound events; consecutive suits small negotiations that need precision and turn-taking.

When is court and legal interpreting the right choice?

Interpreting for questioning, mediation, hearings and document signing before a lawyer or official. Unlike business interpreting, the role is strictly verbatim and bars advising the party.

When is subtitling and voice-over the right choice?

Transcription, timing and bilingual subtitling, plus voice-over for training and marketing media. Subtitling fits tighter budgets and reading audiences; voice-over fits training media where viewers must watch the visuals.
