Accurate deposition translation for global litigation

Depositions are high‑stakes documents that shape case strategy. Our dedicated legal translators ensure that translated transcripts reflect every nuance—objections, colloquy, procedural terms, and idiomatic statements—so attorneys, expert witnesses, and judges can rely on them in hearings and filings. Each project is assigned to a legal subject‑matter expert, not a generalist translator.

Using our KoT Intuit AI+Human platform, we deliver speed and savings without compromising legal quality—up to 50% cost efficiencies on large‑volume matters, supported by human editors and legal reviewers. This means multilingual discovery and international matters become more manageable, with consistent terminology across depositions, exhibits, and related documents.

We preserve the original layout of your deposition: speaker labels, time stamps, Q&A structure, and exhibit references. If you prefer a bilingual format, our DTP team can add side‑by‑side layout for quick comparison, helping counsel and paralegals review testimony efficiently.

Security is built in. We operate under strict confidentiality with signed NDAs on request, secure file transfer, and role‑based access for project teams. Whether translating short excerpts or multi‑day proceedings, you get scalable capacity and dependable turnaround windows to keep discovery on track.

Need certified translations for filing in U.S. courts or for international use? Our team provides certificate of accuracy and notarization as required, with translations accepted worldwide across courts, arbitration forums, and government agencies.

Our workflow is designed for legal rigor. First, we analyze scope, jurisdictions, and required formality (e.g., certified vs. standard). Next, KoT Intuit pre‑processes content and terminology, followed by human translation by a legal specialist. A second linguist edits for style and meaning, then a legal QA reviewer inspects references, exhibits, and procedural terminology.

Formatting matters in depositions. Our DTP specialists replicate speaker labels, chronological markers, and exhibit notes exactly, so the translated transcript mirrors the source document. You receive court‑ready files in your preferred format (PDF, Word, or bilingual). When requested, we issue a certificate of accuracy and notarization for filing.

Pricing is transparent: from $0.06 per word for standard legal translation. Certified translations for filings are available at $32.90 per page. Typical turnaround for 10–20 pages is 24–48 hours; larger multi‑hundred‑page projects are scheduled with rolling deliveries to support ongoing review and case deadlines.

Quality assurance includes terminology management, version control, and consistency checks across multiple depositions. We maintain glossaries and style guides aligned with your case and jurisdiction—vital for judge‑preferred phrasing, procedural labels, and agency‑specific requirements.

Need agility? We offer expedited options and 24/7 support. If your source is audio or video, we can first transcribe with time codes, then translate the transcript, ensuring a clean and verifiable chain for evidentiary use.

As a global agency, Kings of Translation delivers deposition translations recognized across jurisdictions. In the U.S., our certified translations are suitable for court filings and supporting materials; internationally, they are used for arbitration, cross‑border discovery, and regulatory submissions. Our credentials include ATA membership, BBB A+ accreditation, and secure processes that legal teams can trust.

For matters spanning multiple countries, consistent multilingual strategy is essential. We coordinate across languages so depositions taken in one jurisdiction can be submitted in another without loss of meaning, cultural nuance, or evidentiary context. This is critical when witnesses, experts, and counterparties operate across borders.

Our customer‑centric approach—reflected in a 98% client return rate—means you get proactive communication, clear timelines, and a single point of contact. Whether you're handling a single witness or coordinating a large investigation, we scale resources and align delivery to your discovery plan.
