Numbered allegations
Numbering and structure can be retained so each allegation remains easy to identify and cross-reference.
Family proceedings document translation
Threshold Document Translation Services
Threshold document translation for solicitors and family-law teams handling care proceedings, with careful treatment of allegations, chronology, statutory language and referenced evidence.
Care proceedings depend on precise factual wording
Keep allegations, dates and cross-references consistent
Threshold documents can contain detailed allegations, numbered findings, dates, family relationships and references to reports, statements and other evidence.
The translation should preserve what is alleged and how it is expressed without adding interpretation or changing the level of certainty. Numbering, headings and references can be retained so the translated version can be compared easily with the source.
Where the threshold document forms part of a larger care-proceedings bundle, terminology can be aligned with related translated material supplied for the same matter.
What we preserve
Key features of threshold-document translation
Chronology
Dates, sequences of events and time references are checked carefully against the source.
Family relationships
Names, roles and relationships are translated consistently across the document and related material.
Legal terminology
Care-proceedings terminology is handled in context rather than replaced with approximate everyday wording.
Report references
References to social-work, CAFCASS, medical or expert evidence can be preserved for bundle use.
Findings and conclusions
Wording that distinguishes allegation, opinion and finding is translated carefully to avoid changing meaning.

Frequently asked questions
Threshold document translation questions
Can the original paragraph and allegation numbering be retained?
Yes. Keeping the source numbering is usually useful for cross-reference and can be included in the agreed formatting.
Can terminology be matched to other documents in the case?
Yes. Provide relevant previous translations, names or terminology so consistency can be maintained where appropriate.
Can only selected sections be translated?
Yes, where that is the instructed scope. Identify the required sections clearly before work begins.
Can the translation be certified?
