Hebrew is written from right to left, which is also important for graphic processing of tables, forms and bilingual files. Israeli documents often have a Latin notation of names or an English summary, but these parts are not always complete. The basis of the translation is determined according to the original and the purpose of use. For a wider overview of available language pairs, open the page Asian languages.

Hebrew, parallel English text and Latin record of personal information

For a bilingual Hebrew-English document, we review both texts. The English version can help with names, but may not contain all the annotations and stamps of the original.

For personal names, we use the record from the passport. We transfer dates and numerical symbols according to the document, and if another calendar system is used, we agree on the display method according to the purpose of the translation.

When a certified translation is requested for the Hebrew language

A certified translation for official use is prepared by an appointed permanent court interpreter for Hebrew, subject to availability and the receiving authority’s requirements. Before accepting the assignment, we check the direction of the text, the form of the name, calendar dates and the recipient’s requirements. If direct certification is unavailable, we ask the relevant authority to confirm whether an alternative is acceptable. Before you order, we also check the number of copies, whether the translation must be attached to the original or a copy, and any Apostille requirements.

Interpretation: Hebrew and Croatian in official and business situations

We arrange interpreting between Hebrew and Croatian for business meetings, appointments with a notary or registrar, court and administrative proceedings and other official appointments agreed in advance. If the organiser or relevant authority requires an appointed permanent court interpreter, please tell us when you enquire. We confirm the booking once we have checked the location, date, duration, subject and any documents needed for preparation.

Does the Hebrew document need an Apostille or another legalisation?

Certification by a court interpreter does not replace an Apostille or other legalisation. The requirements depend on the document, the countries involved and the receiving authority. Check which steps are needed and in what order before arranging your translation. Read more in our Apostille guide.

  2. Tell us the source and target languages, country of issue, intended use, deadline and any certification requirements. For interpreting, include the location, date and expected duration. In particular, we will check right-to-left writing, vocalization, personal names and possible dates according to the Hebrew calendar.
  3. Upon completion of the review, we send a clear offer for the Hebrew translation: coverage of pages, form of certification, price, deadline and collection or delivery arrangements.
  4. We translate the agreed material and check that every part of the document has been included. We then bind the certified translation and deliver it as arranged.

What affects the price and deadline of the Hebrew translation?

For Hebrew, document translation and interpreting are priced differently. Translation costs depend on the length and complexity of the document, legibility, stamps, certification and deadline. Interpreting costs depend on the duration, location, preparation and any travel required. Production time depends on two-way text processing and verification of names or duplicate dates. We confirm the possibility of urgent translation after reviewing all pages and checking whether the appropriate translator or permanent court interpreter can accept the assignment.
