I need to establish a couple of things about a Statement of Truth that is required for a translation for the UK courts, Family Division. ST is a divorce certificate in Spanish (Cuban).
(1) What formal translation qualifications are required (if any) by the UK courts? I normally translate German and hold the DipTrans, but I also studied Spanish as [art of my degree and translated a little, with short straightforward texts. But I do not hold any formal translation qualification for S... See more I need to establish a couple of things about a Statement of Truth that is required for a translation for the UK courts, Family Division. ST is a divorce certificate in Spanish (Cuban).
(1) What formal translation qualifications are required (if any) by the UK courts? I normally translate German and hold the DipTrans, but I also studied Spanish as [art of my degree and translated a little, with short straightforward texts. But I do not hold any formal translation qualification for Spanish. Would I be regarded as competent, from an English legal perspective, to translate and certify Spansih>En?
(2) what exactly needs to be contained in the wording of this statement?

AFAIK, there are no sworn or certified translators in the UK, meaning that in the UK, any translator can certify his/her translation. I translate exclusively into Portuguese and I have been asked occasionally (don’t ask me why) to attach a Certificate of Accuracy to my translation. I don’t know if it’s the same thing as the Certificate of Truth. Anyway, it reads:
“Date
Certificate of Accuracy Number xxx/year
To whom it may concern,

Thankyou, the wording looks close to what I have been using but I may tweak mine after seeing this.

Hello Andy,
I interpret the regulations of the Professional Code of Conduct for CIOL members to mean that it is actually not OK to sign a Statement of Truth for a language pair in which you do not hold a professional qualification. You can view the Code of Conduct here: https://www.ciol.org.uk/code . I think that translation in the UK is not regulated by the courts, but by the CIOL and the ITI.<... See more Hello Andy,

I do have a qualification in Spanish in that it was part of my degree, although as atated no postgrad qualification like the DipTrans. Whether that constitutes a professional qualification in the eyes of the CiOL is open to question.
Equally, whether it entitles a translator under UK law to certify a translation seems vague as the UK does not appear to set out hard and fast rules like other countries do, as far as I can ascertain.
