In our day-to-day work at BigTranslation, as a translation agency which is also specialised in sworn translations, we often come across apostilled documents or documents that require an apostille in order to be valid in other countries. This type of procedure usually raises many queries among our customers – what exactly is an apostille, when are they needed and how do you obtain one? Therefore, today we’re going to clarify some key points to make the process easier and prevent delays in the submission of official documents.

If you’ve decided to use an automatic translation tool to translate your e-commerce content, you need to be aware of its limitations. While these technologies have indeed come a long way in recent years, they are still not error-free. Far from it. Localisation, for instance, remains one of their key weaknesses. This is because translation is not just about swapping words from one language to another, but about conveying the message in a way that suits each market. This is where post-editing comes into play: the expert eye of a professional proofreader.
