Most people in Shanghai understand that anyone coming to China from somewhere where Chinese is not the mother tongue will probably have to confront the issue of translating key legal documents. Even ordinary tourists may have to translate their driving licenses into Chinese if their home licenses are not written in Chinese. This is not just a requirement in Shanghai, as most countries insist that foreigners translate their licenses into the host language if they want to hire a car to drive around in.

Of course, an ordinary tourist is unlikely to be searching for the services of a professional translation service provider just to get their driving license translated. They can apply for an international license before they leave home. International licenses are commonly translated into a number of the major world languages like French, German, Spanish, Japanese etc.

Foreigners who stay for longer in Shanghai as students, employees, businesspeople or migrants will soon find that they need to translate quite a number of key legal documents, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, employment records, educational and professional qualifications, transcripts, bank statements and financial statements, just to mention the main ones.

This is where the use of professional translation services in China, whether they aretranslation services in Shanghai, have a major role to play. In general, translated documents need to be translated by an authorized translator. In Shanghai that means a translator or translation agency that employs professional translators who have been accredited by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters.

It’s not just visitors that may need to get key legal documents translated. Many businesses that have dealings with or business in China or wish to do business in Shanghai will no doubt find that supporting documentation and application forms are translated or at least completed in Chinese. Examples include things like patents and copyright applications. Without these important documents being approved in Shanghai there is a risk that both intellectual property and technological ideas could be copied at a financial loss to the rightful owner.
