Krio Language in Context
Krio is an English-based Creole language that evolved during the 18th and 19th centuries, primarily influenced by English, Yoruba, and other African languages brought by freed slaves returning from the Americas and the Caribbean. It has since become the linguistic backbone of Sierra Leone’s national communication.
Understanding Krio involves more than just language proficiency—it requires cultural awareness and sensitivity. Our translators are well-versed in both formal Krio and regional variations, ensuring your message reaches all intended audiences.

FAQs
How does the cost for legal translation change?
The cost of legal translation services depends on various factors, including the language pair, document complexity, urgency, and required certification. Some legal documents require specialized expertise, making legal translation services more expensive due to the technical nature of the content.
Another major factor affecting pricing is turnaround time—urgent legal translation services typically come at a higher cost to ensure quality within a short deadline. Additionally, some translations require notarization, apostille, or an official stamp, which may increase the overall cost.
At Applied Lingo, we offer transparent pricing for our legal translation services and provide customized quotes based on your specific needs. We also offer discounts for bulk legal document translations and returning clients. To get an accurate estimate, simply send us your documents for a detailed cost assessment.
Do you provide translation certifications?
Yes, Applied Lingo specializes in certified legal translation services to meet the requirements of courts, government agencies, and official institutions. Our certified legal translation services come with a signed statement verifying that the translation is an accurate and complete representation of the original document.
Certified translations are commonly required for legal contracts, court documents, business agreements, immigration papers, and official records. If your legal translation services require additional authentication, such as notarization or an apostille, we can facilitate the process or provide guidance on how to obtain it.
Our team ensures that all legal translation services comply with jurisdictional requirements, avoiding potential delays in legal processes. We prioritize accuracy, confidentiality, and compliance with international legal standards.
What is the difference between legal, certified or official translation?
Legal translation services refer to the translation of legal documents such as contracts, court judgments, laws, patents, and agreements. These translations require an in-depth understanding of legal terminology and the legal frameworks of both the source and target languages.
Certified legal translation services include an official statement from the translator or agency verifying the accuracy of the translation. These are typically required for immigration, academic records, and official government use.
Official legal translation services refer to translations carried out by a government-approved or sworn translator. In some countries, only sworn translators can provide translations that are legally valid in court or administrative procedures.
While official legal translation services may include certification, not all certified translations are considered official. At Applied Lingo, we ensure that our clients receive the appropriate type of legal translation services to meet their specific needs.
What requirements should I provide for legal translations?
To ensure accuracy in our legal translation services, we require clear, legible copies of the documents. If your document contains handwritten sections, providing a typed transcription can improve accuracy.
For certified legal translation services, we may need to include an official declaration with the translator’s signature and contact details. Some legal authorities may also require notarization, so it’s important to verify the specific requirements with the receiving institution.
Clients seeking legal translation services should inform us of any specific formatting, terminology, or jurisdictional preferences to ensure compliance with legal standards. Applied Lingo provides guidance on document submission and ensures that all legal translation services meet legal and professional requirements.
Do you provide legal interpreting?
Yes, Applied Lingo offers legal interpreting as part of our legal translation services for court hearings, legal consultations, depositions, and business negotiations. Our legal interpreters are highly trained in courtroom procedures, confidentiality rules, and complex legal terminology.
We provide both on-site and remote interpreting through video or phone calls, depending on the client’s preference. Whether you need consecutive or simultaneous interpreting, our legal translation services ensure seamless communication between all parties.
For jurisdictions requiring sworn interpreters, we also provide officially accredited professionals to handle sensitive legal matters. If you need to book an interpreter as part of our legal translation services, we recommend scheduling in advance to secure availability, especially for urgent legal proceedings.
