FAQ: Do you have questions about “internship certificates and their translation”? You can find the most important answers here:

Do you have questions about having internship certificates translated for Germany?

• + Do I need a certified translation of my internship certificate?

  An attestation clause legally assures the accuracy of the translation. So you give a better impression with that. Authorities and offices, but also universities and even some companies, even require a translation with certification.
  
  

  Although we also offer a simple translation including quality control, we recommend booking a certified translation especially for private persons. This adds even more professionalism to your project. Translations without certification are more suitable, for example, for HR departments that have job references of potential candidates translated for internal purposes.

Do you have questions about having internship certificates translated for abroad?

• + Do I always need a translated internship certificate when applying for a job?

  Unlike in Germany, fewer documents are usually required for an application in the Anglo-American world — often only a cover letter or letter of application and curriculum vitae are required. Therefore, in most cases, not all certificates need to be translated.
  
  

  However, keep in mind: Employment reference letters and internship certificates, should they not be mandatory, prove that your information from your curriculum vitae is true and pass on the good impression your previous employers had of you. Translated university certificates can also present you in a good light. Therefore, it is best to clarify which documents are required in a personal telephone call with the possible future employer. Only in this way can you be sure that your documents are complete in the sense of the recipient.

• + Can I translate my internship certificate myself?

  There are subtle nuances and differentiations in every language which — even with a very good command of the foreign language — can hardly be adhered to and translated accurately as a layperson. In general, we therefore advise against translating certificates yourself. This weakens your credibility with your future employer and rarely makes a professional impression. You may even falsify your certificates to your disadvantage. With authorities, a (usually inaccurate) translation without certification is not legally valid anyway.
  
  

  Even as a native German speaker, one has to admit that the “certificate language” in German is a science in itself. It is therefore better to opt for a professional translator who is guaranteed to translate the content of your certificates with perfect grammar and expression. An additional quality check by a second native specialist translator, a so-called proofreading, offers even more security and is part of the standard procedure of professional translation agencies.

• + What is a certified translation?

  A certified translation is a translation of an official document provided with the translator's attestation clause. Such a translation can only be carried out by court sworn translators. The translator confirms the accuracy of the translation with his/her signature, stamp and attestation clause. The authenticity of the translation is thus guaranteed in a legally binding manner. When you order your translation from lingoking and select the "certification" option, we guarantee that the translation will be done by a translator who has been sworn by a court in Germany.
