A sworn translation must bear the stamp and signature of a sworn translator.

All Bohle Conference and Language Services translation and interpreting work follows a strict set of rules to ensure that our clients receive an industry-leading end product. From start to finish, we ensure that your documents are treated with strict confidentiality.
Translation differs from interpreting mainly in the means of communication used for each one; written communication is translated while the spoken word is interpreted.
Translators work on books and documents, taking time to find words and style that accurately convey the writer’s intended meaning. Interpreters, however, need to work quickly and with diplomacy as they accurately communicate intention and meaning back and forth from one speaker to another, live and in real time.
