Not a generalist. Not a machine. A professional.

What Type of TranslationDo You Need?
The type of translation you need depends on two things: how the translated document will be used, and who will read it. A birth certificate submitted to USCIS has a different standard from a marketing campaign, which has a different standard from a technical manual reviewed by a regulatory body. Getting this right from the start saves time, cost, and the frustration of a rejection or revision cycle.
Certified Document Translation
The most common reason USCIS rejects a translation is not poor quality. It is an incomplete certificate. Federal regulations under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) require the translator to provide a signed statement of accuracy, their full name, credentials, and contact information. A stamped document without these elements does not meet the standard. Every Day Translations certified translation includes a signed and stamped certificate of accuracy on official letterhead, the translator's full credentials, and is accepted by USCIS, U.S. federal and state courts, consulates, and academic institutions. Delivered in 24 hours. From $29 per page.
Documents covered: Birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, academic transcripts, diplomas, police clearances, medical records, immigration petitions.
View Certified Translation ServicesBusiness and Corporate Translation
A corporate contract is only as enforceable as its translation is accurate. When defined terms are inconsistently translated, when a governing language clause is absent, or when a translator unfamiliar with commercial law defaults to a literal reading of an idiomatic phrase, the business consequences are real. Our business translation team covers contracts, financial reports, employee handbooks, RFP documents, and corporate communications. Every project is matched to a linguist with credentials in your content domain, a financial translator for reports, a legal linguist for contracts, with independent quality review before delivery. From $0.10 per word.

A mistranslation in a user manual is not a language error. For a medical device, it is a patient safety risk. For industrial machinery, it is a liability exposure. For software documentation, it is a product failure in market. Day Translations technical translators work exclusively in their subject-matter domains. Our engineering and manufacturing translators understand ISO standards, tolerance specifications, and safety documentation conventions. Our IT translators understand software architecture and localization engineering. Terminology glossaries are built and locked at the start of every technical project so that every linguist uses your approved terminology consistently across every document version.
Documents covered: User manuals, engineering specifications, product guides, safety documentation, IT and software documentation, regulatory submissions.
Request a Technical Translation QuoteMarketing and Media Translation
Translating marketing content word for word is the fastest way to lose your audience. The phrase that works in English because of a cultural reference your target market does not share, the humor that does not survive the language crossing, the brand tagline that means something unintended in the target language, these are the failures that cost marketing budgets and brand equity. Our marketing translators are briefed on your brand voice, your target audience, and the cultural context of the market you are entering before the first word is written. What we deliver is not a translation. It is a version of your content written for the people who will read it.
Documents covered: Advertising campaigns, brand content, website copy, email marketing, subtitles, voice-over scripts, social media content.
Request a Marketing Translation QuoteeDiscovery Translation
Multilingual document review in litigation is not a standard translation project. The volume can be hundreds of thousands of documents. The legal standard for admissibility is exacting. The timeline is driven by discovery deadlines, not translation capacity. Day Translations deploys a hybrid eDiscovery workflow: machine translation for initial culling and gisting of non-responsive documents, followed by certified human translation of relevant exhibits and key evidence. Every certified exhibit translation includes a chain of custody statement and meets the admissibility standard for U.S. federal and state courts. We support Relativity-integrated workflows and can work within your existing review platform.
Documents covered: Foreign language email archives, contract review, witness statements, financial records, regulatory correspondence.
Learn About eDiscovery TranslationPatent Translation
A patent claim is only as defensible as its translation is precise. The difference between 'comprising' and 'consisting of' in a claim element is the difference between a broad patent and a narrow one. A translator unfamiliar with patent claim structure and the target jurisdiction's IP law will not catch this. Our patent translators hold credentials in both the technical domain of the patent and the legal conventions of international IP filings. We cover PCT applications, EPO filings, and national phase translations in all major jurisdictions. Every translation is reviewed by a second linguist with IP expertise before delivery.

How Our Professional Translation Process Works
ISO 17100 certified. Two-linguist review on every order. No exceptions.
The quality of a translation is only partly determined by the skill of the translator. It is also determined by the process that surrounds that translator. ISO 17100:2015 requires independent review by a second qualified linguist as a mandatory step. This is not an optional service tier. It is the standard on every order.
Upload Your Document
Upload any document format through our secure portal. PDF, JPEG, PNG, Word, Excel, and most common formats are accepted. Your original document is encrypted from the moment it leaves your device.
Expert Linguist Assignment
Your project is matched to a native-speaking translator with subject-matter credentials in your content type. A legal contract does not go to a medical translator who has room in their schedule. It goes to a linguist whose expertise is legal translation.
Professional Translation
Your document is translated with attention to terminology, cultural nuance, and the intent of the source text. For technical and legal content, the approved terminology glossary is applied from the first word.
Independent Quality Review (ISO 17100 Required)
A second qualified linguist reviews the complete translation for accuracy, terminology consistency, formatting, and completeness. This step is not an upgrade. It is required by ISO 17100 and applied to every order we process.
Secure Delivery
Your translated document is delivered to your inbox as a secure digital file. Certified translations include the signed certificate of accuracy and translator credentials. Hard copies by USPS or FedEx are available as an add-on.
Professional Translation AcrossEvery Industry
Subject-matter expertise is not a premium feature. It is the baseline requirement for translation that holds up in a courtroom, a clinical trial submission, or a product safety audit. Our translators are organized by domain. Legal translators work on legal content. Medical translators work on medical content. A generalist does not get assigned to a specialist project.

Why Clients Choose Day Translations
100% Native Human Translators, No AI Shortcuts
Machine translation has its uses. Translating a certified document for USCIS, a patient consent form, or a legal filing is not one of them. Every Day Translations project is handled by a native-speaking human linguist. We are transparent about when and how we use AI-assisted tools in eDiscovery workflows. We do not use them as a substitute for expert human translation on documents where accuracy has legal or clinical consequences.
ISO 17100 Certified Quality on Every Order
ISO 17100 certification is audited by an independent body. It requires that every translation be completed by a qualified translator and independently reviewed by a second linguist before delivery. Most translation platforms, including the large self-serve services, do not hold this certification. They complete one review pass. We complete two, on every order, as a standard.
USCIS Accepted. 19 Years, No Rejections
In 19 years, not one of our certified translations has been rejected by USCIS. That is not a guarantee we make lightly. It reflects a certification process built specifically around 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requirements. Every certified translation we deliver meets the federal standard for what a certificate must contain, who must sign it, and what it must state.
500+ Languages, Available 24 Hours a Day
Translation needs do not follow business hours. Immigration deadlines, court filing cutoffs, and clinical emergencies happen at any hour. Day Translations operates around the clock with human support, not a ticketing system that responds in the morning. Orders placed at any hour are assigned and in progress before most providers have opened.
