By Essie Osborn


There are many situations where old documentation has to be studied and translated. In some instances French to English old document translation is required. This can be a long term task, not to mention a really daunting one, especially if the language you are versed in is English and your French skills are rusty or non-existent.

Perhaps you are researching a building, or your ancestors, or maybe your business deals with archives or needs the manuscripts to be transcribed for publication purposes. Accurately typed transcripts are essential for an in depth knowledge that is detailed and correct. The deciphering of old documents is definitely a skill, and the professional service which is provided by transcription services cannot be matched.

Sometimes the old documents are pale, incomplete or even torn. This could delay the process, especially when there needs to be a deeper investigation into the archives. There might be other manuscripts which refer to the same topic, but they will need to be found and linked accurately.

Be sure to explore what it is that they require from the onset, so that important time is not wasted while acquiring documentation in the interim. The quality of the documents is a really important factor, since the comprehensible they are and the more complete, the simpler it will be to complete.

It is important to keep a record of where all the originals can be found, and to keep them as safe and undamaged as possible. Some might be very fragile and a gentle hand would be required at all times.

Some originals are even written in Latin, Greek, Italian or German, amongst other languages. To convert these to English takes a comprehensive knowledge of the history associated to the language and the time when the document was written. This is a skill acquired by studying and researching all influences over that period of history. This becomes true, especially if the article written is interpretive.

If the old documents belong to a family or individual, their consent might be required in order for the transcriber or translator to contact them and peruse through any unclear portions. A lot of work goes into achieving the final translated document, and the charges are worked out carefully and fairly with this in mind. A few quotes, can easily be obtained, and with careful consideration by comparing the services on offer, an informed decision can be reached.

Their costing might vary, but it is important to request a quote prior to commencement. Some may price according the condition of the original document as well as the clarity of the forwarded image. They also take into account the time taken to produce a completed job.

Having the translated version at your fingertips is imperative for understanding, and future investigatory purposes. It could divulge very pertinent information which might have been overlooked by someone with minimal skills in the language of the originals.
