Practical notes on the procedures where a badly commissioned translation costs time and money. Written from the dual standpoint of attorney and Authorized Public Translator.
Articles
Each entry answers a question I am asked more than once a month.
Procedure
Apostille and certified translation in Panama: which comes first
What an apostille actually authenticates, why it comes before translation, and what to ask the receiving entity first.
Immigration
Which documents you need translated for Panama residency
Police clearance expires fast and should be requested last. That and other details that decide whether the file clears first time.
Academic
Translating university degrees and transcripts for Panama
Why syllabi are the real volume, and why a translator must not convert credits between education systems.
Maritime
Maritime document translation in Panama: the bill of lading
A bill of lading is a document of title, not a delivery note. Translating it as one changes what the document does.
Tenders
Technical translation for public tenders in Panama
If the same component is translated four different ways, an evaluator may find the bid non-compliant. Consistency decides tenders.
Corporate
Translating Panamanian public deeds and articles of incorporation
A sociedad anonima is not exactly a corporation, nor a dignatario an officer. What is carried across, what is explained, and what is never substituted.
