Academic Diplomas or Manuscripts in Latin – Translation
Do you have an academic diploma or a manuscript/other document that you need translated?
We have the training and competence starting from formal classical lyceum preparation and through additional studies in linguistics and romance philology.
We perform textual evaluation, explore connections between languages, and adapt to a modern langue without altering the original language structure.
Warning: Beware of agencies claiming to have numerous, continuous Latin to English projects and promising fast translations. Also, inquire as to the knowledge and qualifications of the translator(s).
Frequency: Despite the opportunities to come across diplomas and other documents in Latin, these are not systematic occurrences.
Competence: Latin is a complex language to learn. People who attend schools specializing in the teaching of this language have to go through extensive training involving the reading of political, religious, and literary texts, as well as the scholarly analysis of textual traditions and historical development. Furthermore, the grammar and sentence construction are rather challenging.
The peculiar terminology and expressions of this language are not readily absorbed in an everyday type of discourse. Therefore, it cannot be easily translated into a modern language.
