Sworn V Ordinary Translations
The strategy used in sworn translation is different from general translation. General translations have a strong communicative function, and the translator must make the text more accessible to the reader. In sworn translation, however, the translator must not attempt to improve on the source document or try to adapt it to a specific audience.
Since a sworn translation is done for legal purposes, the translation should be clearly recognisable as the same document, with all the information as in the original, even if some of it seems unnecessary or repetitious. Sworn translators assume that every word and every nuance has a purpose, and reproduce the content, every signature, every stamp in the way they appear on the original.

The list below gives examples of the types of documents that sworn translators may be called upon to translate. This is only a small selection, but illustrates the variety of work a sworn translator has to deal with.
