Legal Document Translation
Contract Translation Services for Cross-Border Business
When a contract is drafted in another language, precision is everything.
What We Translate
Every Type of Commercial Contract, in Every Language
From simple purchase orders to complex merger agreements, contracts must be translated with absolute fidelity to the source text. Legal terms carry specific meanings within each jurisdiction, and a mistranslation can create ambiguity, void a clause, or misrepresent a party's obligations. Our translators understand both the language and the legal context they are working in.
BeTranslated handles service agreements, supply contracts, employment contracts, shareholder agreements, non-disclosure agreements, licensing agreements, and full transaction documentation packages for cross-border M&A. Every project is handled under strict confidentiality, and all translators sign non-disclosure agreements before accessing client files.
Who Needs This
Typical Use Cases
Companies with Foreign Vendors
Supplier contracts, purchase agreements, and service-level agreements with international partners often require translation to ensure all parties understand their obligations.
Law Firms Handling International Deals
Transactional lawyers managing cross-border M&A, joint ventures, or international arbitration need accurate legal translations for due diligence and signing packages.
HR Teams Hiring Internationally
Employment contracts, offer letters, and staff handbooks must be translated when hiring in jurisdictions where the working language differs from your corporate language.
Businesses Entering New Markets
Distribution agreements, franchise contracts, and partnership agreements for new market entry must be accurately translated to protect your commercial interests.
Our Contract Translation Process
01
Secure File Transfer
Upload documents via our encrypted portal. All files are handled under strict NDA, and access is limited to the assigned translator and project manager.
02
Specialist Translator Assignment
We match your contract to a translator with experience in the relevant area of law: commercial, employment, IP, finance, or real estate.
03
Translation and Legal Review
The translator produces a working draft, which is then reviewed by a second linguist for consistency of terminology and fidelity to the source contract.
04
Delivery and Revision
You receive the completed translation. One round of revisions is included as standard. Certified or notarized versions can be arranged on request.
What Our Clients Say
“I recently used a translation agency in France to translate several administrative and commercial documents into Spanish. The service I received was absolutely exceptional. Not only were the translations accurate and professional, but the team was also very responsive and understanding of my specific needs. BeTranslated truly took the time to understand my context, and the translations perfectly reflected this understanding. I highly recommend their services to anyone needing high-quality translations, and I will not hesitate to use them again in the future.”

Common Questions
Contract Translation: Frequently Asked Questions
We translate all types of commercial contracts including service agreements, supply contracts, employment contracts, shareholder agreements, NDAs, licensing agreements, franchise agreements, real estate contracts, and M&A transaction documents. If you need a contract type not listed here, contact us and we will confirm availability.
All translators sign a non-disclosure agreement before accessing any client document. Files are transferred via our encrypted portal and are never stored on personal devices. Access is limited to the assigned translator and their reviewing editor. We do not use machine translation tools that retain submitted text.
A translation is a faithful rendering of the source contract in another language. If the source contract was drafted by a qualified lawyer, the translation preserves that legal content. However, if you are signing an agreement under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction, you should always seek independent legal advice in that jurisdiction. Translation and legal counsel are complementary, not interchangeable.
