What is legal translation?
Legal translation is the specialized translation of legal documents — contracts, court filings, depositions, discovery materials — by linguists who understand legal terminology in both languages. For court submission, it includes a signed certification of accuracy, which most U.S. courts require before accepting a translated document into the record.
In legal documents, precision is the whole job
A mistranslated contract term, a shifted verb tense in testimony, an imprecise rendering of a statute reference — legal translation errors change meaning, and changed meaning changes outcomes. Machine translation and generalist translators are where opposing counsel finds ammunition.
Legal matters have run through Taika since 2009
Law firms, corporate counsel, courts, and agencies use Taika for the language work their matters depend on — 80,000+ projects delivered, GSA and NASPO ValuePoint contracts, a 5.0★ Google rating, and a two-linguist TEP process on every document. Certified translations carry a signed accuracy statement accepted by courts, and interpretation for depositions and proceedings runs through the same accountable vendor.

Legal translation carries real consequences when it’s wrong — a mistranslated contract term, a missed deadline reference, or an imprecise legal phrase can affect a case or an agreement. Taika Translations provides certified translation of contracts, court filings, depositions, and other legal documents, matched to the accuracy and process controls legal work requires.
If your matter involves multiple documents or ongoing filings, bundle them into a single request — one quote, one timeline, one accountable project manager. And when the matter moves from paper to the room, deposition and court interpretation runs through the same vendor.
