Luxembourgish translator

Yes. The UK has no sworn-translator institute, so for official acceptance we provide certified translation: a signed and dated statement of accuracy from the translator or the agency, with our contact details. Luxembourgish is a less common combination, and we assess per document type whether certification is needed — for example for deeds, diploma recognition or court documents. 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). For use in Luxembourg itself, legalisation or an apostille may be required.

No. Luxembourgish has been a national language in its own right since 1984, with its own spelling — maintained by the Zenter fir d'Lëtzebuerger Sprooch (ZLS) — and a large stock of French loanwords. It resembles German, but word meanings and word order frequently diverge. We assign a translator who does not simply read the document as German and who knows where the two languages part ways.

Common document types include fund documentation and holding-structure papers (Luxembourg is a major financial centre), notarial and civil-status deeds, diplomas and official correspondence. UK-specific cases we handle include Home Office and UKVI immigration documents, university admissions assessed by UK ENIC, and Companies House and HMCTS filings. We confirm the approach and any certification per document in the quote.

On working days you receive a quote within 1 hour. The lead time for the translation itself depends on document type, volume, language pair 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.

We combine specialist translators with a structured QA layer: a terminology list, the ZLS spelling, and a second review where the legal field, risk profile or volume requires it. CAT tools (Trados, memoQ, Phrase TMS) keep terminology consistent across volume and repeated content, including documents where Luxembourgish, French and German run together. A translation memory keeps follow-up work aligned and lowers the cost over time.

A Luxembourgish translation agency takes the coordination off your hands. We select the specialist who fits your document and sector, 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. With a less common language such as Luxembourgish, that saves considerable searching. 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.
