We need to translate a 200 pages document, and our client has requested a French sworn translation. Would you mind letting us know what the protocol for this Certification in France along with the costs and turnaround time associated with this process is?

Why don’t you contact the French Embassy in your country? That’s what I would do first… Regarding the turnaround time it depends on the number of words (some pages might be very long while others not) and the complexity of the text.

P.S. I’m just trying to help you, please note that I do not translate into French.

By the way, I have done a lot of sworn translations, some short and some long, but never one having 200 pages. May I ask what this is about?

Contact sft Apr 14, 2023

If you contact the sft, the French translators' association, they should be able to give you details of translators "auprès de la Cour" - this is the French equivalent of a "sworn" translator in the UK. I am not one, so other than this suggestion, I cannot help you, I'm afraid. I am presuming that you want the document translated into French.
