How we work

Our process in 4 steps

  1. No-obligation quote

    Send us the document you want translated into Kazakh. You receive a competitive quote within 1 hour on working days. Short lines, one dedicated project manager who is there for you.

  2. Assigning a translator

    One of our specialist Kazakh translators gets to work. For certified translations, a professional translator who issues a certified statement of accuracy; for business, technical, legal or medical texts, a specialist from that field.

  3. Translation, QA and revision

    Once the experienced Kazakh translator has completed the text, a second specialist carries out a thorough quality check and revision.

  4. Delivery

    You receive the Kazakh translation digitally by email, in the same layout as the original. Certified translations are also sent by registered post where a hard copy is required.

Certified or standard? How to choose the right Kazakh translation

  • Choose certified

    When an authority requires an official, certified translation: the Home Office, courts, notaries, registrars or a foreign government. Escalated to notarisation or FCDO apostille where needed.

  • Choose standard

    For business publication, websites, marketing and internal documentation. Faster and without certification, with the same specialist translator.

Not sure? Send your document and we will advise which form the receiving authority expects.

What non-native translators and machine translation miss in Kazakh

Many teams speak good Kazakh and AI tools translate in seconds. Yet in business, legal and medical Kazakh texts, non-native translators and machine translation make the kind of mistakes that cost you credibility or legal validity. A few examples we prevent:

  • Script confusion

    Voorbeeld:

    A document may be drawn up in Cyrillic, in the new Latin script or — from China — in Arabic-script Kazakh, and the three are not interchangeable.

    Onze aanpak:

    We establish the correct source variant before we begin and confirm it in the quote.

  • Transliteration of proper names

    Voorbeeld:

    Kazakh names and place names are often transliterated through Russian, which then differs from the spelling on the passport or certificate.

    Onze aanpak:

    We keep transliteration consistent with the source document and your official identity papers.

  • Kazakh confused with Russian

    Voorbeeld:

    Russian is widespread in Kazakhstan as a second official language, so source documents are regularly partly or wholly in Russian.

    Onze aanpak:

    We establish the actual language combination per document and match it to your request.

  • Terminology in transition

    Voorbeeld:

    Because of the script and spelling reform, older and newer term variants exist side by side, particularly in legal and administrative texts.

    Onze aanpak:

    We work from a per-project glossary and hold consistently to the variant that suits your purpose.

Wereldwijde dekking

Waar Kazakh wordt gesproken

Kazakh is written in more than one script side by side. Documents from Kazakhstan are usually drawn up in Cyrillic, but the new Latin script appears more and more often as the state reform rolls out, while Kazakh documents from China may be in Arabic script. Russian is also widespread in Kazakhstan, so source documents are often partly or wholly in Russian. We establish the source variant before we begin and confirm that choice up front in the quote.

Does Ecrivus provide certified Kazakh translation?
Yes. The UK has no sworn-translator institute, so there is no "sworn translator" as a legal office here. For official acceptance we provide certified translation: a signed and dated statement of accuracy from the translator or the agency, with our contact details. Where a body asks for more, this can be escalated to notarisation by a solicitor or notary public, or to an apostille or legalisation through the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). This is the route for Home Office and UKVI immigration, diploma recognition, notarial deeds and court files; we confirm the level your receiving authority requires in the quote.
Which script variant of Kazakh do you use?
That depends on your source document. Kazakh is written officially in Cyrillic, with a government-announced transition to the Latin alphabet; documents from China may be in Arabic script. We establish the correct source variant before we translate and confirm that choice in the quote, so the spelling and terminology match the document you actually hold.
My document is partly in Russian — can you handle that?
Yes. Russian is widespread in Kazakhstan as a second official language, so source documents are regularly partly or wholly in Russian. We establish the actual language combination per document and match the approach and the quote to it, rather than assuming the whole text is Kazakh.
How quickly will I receive a quote, and what about the lead time?
On working days you receive a quote within 1 hour. The lead time for the translation itself depends on document type, volume, script variant and any required certification, and is confirmed in the quote. For tight deadlines we confirm a workable rush schedule up front rather than promising a fixed turnaround.
What if I need a legal document translated into or from Kazakh?
For legal Kazakh translation — contracts, operating agreements, certificates, judgments — we pair you with a translator who has a legal background and match terminology to the relevant legal system. Our legal-translation page goes deeper into certification, the closing statement of accuracy, apostille and consular legalisation. See [legal translation](/en/services/legal-translation/).
Why choose a Kazakh translation agency instead of finding a freelance translator yourself?
A Kazakh translation agency takes the coordination off your hands. We select the specialist who fits your document and sector, establish the correct script variant, arrange certification, notarisation or legalisation where an authority requires it, and have the work checked by a second reviewer. You keep one point of contact for variant, terminology, scheduling and delivery, all under a single quote. A skilled freelance translator does excellent work too; the difference an agency adds is bringing those moving parts together so you are not managing them separately.
