Hebrew translator

For business, legal, technical and personal documents, Ecrivus delivers Modern Hebrew (he-IL) by default — the official language of Israel since 1948. Biblical or Mishnaic Hebrew is for religious or academic contexts only; we coordinate those projects separately with a specialist translator. We confirm the variant in the quote.

Hebrew script runs right to left (RTL). We deliver documents in correct RTL layout, including mirrored layout for PDFs, brochures and website content. For text that mixes Hebrew with Latin script or figures, we hold the correct bidirectional order under the Unicode bidirectional algorithm, so names, codes and figures sit where they belong.

The UK has no sworn-translator institute, so there is no "sworn translator" as a legal office here. As a Hebrew translation agency we provide certified translation for official acceptance: 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). We confirm in the quote which level your receiving authority requires.

Israel has been a party to the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961 since 1978. Israeli documents such as birth and marriage certificates, diplomas and court documents can be legalised by apostille through the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs or a notary. For a UK document going to Israel, you obtain the apostille through the FCDO via gov.uk. We guide you to the right route and arrange the certified translation that goes with it.

Common cases include tech and biotech documentation, R&D reports, patent applications, due-diligence files for Israeli listed companies, financial annual reports, birth and marriage certificates, divorce files and family-law correspondence. UK-specific cases we handle often are Home Office and UKVI immigration documents and HMCTS court documents. We confirm the approach and any certification per document type in the quote.

We combine native specialist translators with a structured QA layer: a terminology list, agreed transliteration conventions 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, repeated content and RTL layout, and a translation memory keeps follow-up work aligned and lowers the cost over time. We reference the recognised UK professional bodies — the ITI (Institute of Translation and Interpreting) and the CIOL (Chartered Institute of Linguists) — as the standard the work is held to.

A Hebrew translation agency takes the coordination off your hands. We select the specialist who fits your document and sector, arrange the correct RTL layout, handle 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, layout, 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.
