Case Study:

Correctly Translating a Complicated Article of Law

Overview

The City of New York needed an overview of a formal government release discussing recent changes in federal law concerning the immigration status of immigrants already in the country translated into Farsi.

Challenge

The English text, written for the layman, was a simplified version of a more complicated article of law known as the “public charge rule.” Their original translator had done a literal translation – “charging the public by the government” – that did not convey the author’s intended meaning. Without defining what “public charge” means from a legal standpoint, Farsi-speaking New Yorkers would be misinformed instead of being provided the necessary legal guidance.

Solution

Farsi Translation Center researched the original article of the law, read several pages of comprehensive explanation, and re-translated the information so it accurately conveyed the intent of the law.

Result

An accurate translation for the City of New York. Our client was grateful that they did not publish the original translation as mistakes such as this could result in a lawsuit against the entity that publishes the information.

Case Study:

From Illegible to Clearly Translated

Overview

Translating a Farsi Binding Conveyance Deed that was illegible.

Challenge

The original typewritten document – a poorly taken photograph of the original deed – could not be read as the resolution of the image was too low. In order for it to be a legally binding document, as the original was, the entire document needed to be translated. The client also had a very tight and very strict deadline.

Solution

Farsi Translation Center worked with the client to come up with a way to scan the original documents to produce a legible text. The entire Binding Conveyance Deed was translated and can be used for any future legal matters the client needs.

Result

A job well done. As the client stated, “I highly recommend Sepideh Moussavi and her translation and interpretation services, Farsi Translation Center. Sepideh and her associate provided exceptional customer and translation services. They worked diligently to meet my time requirements and precisely to extract information from a document that had subpar resolution. The result was the delivery of a high-quality translation with expedited delivery.”
