How we work

Our process in 4 steps

  1. No-obligation quote

    Send us the document you want translated into Khmer. 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 Khmer 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 Khmer translator has completed the text, a second specialist carries out a thorough quality check and revision.

  4. Delivery

    You receive the Khmer 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.

Decision helper

Certified or standard? How to choose the right Khmer 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 Khmer

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

  • No spaces between words

    Voorbeeld:

    Khmer text strings words together within a sentence and uses spaces mainly to mark clause boundaries, not to separate words.

    Onze aanpak:

    A specialist who knows the script segments the text correctly; we check automated processing and line-breaking separately.

  • Complex stacked orthography

    Voorbeeld:

    Subscript consonants (coeng), two consonant registers that change the inherent vowel, and many diacritics make OCR and transliteration error-prone.

    Onze aanpak:

    We work from the source image and have the transliteration of names checked by a second reviewer where the document requires it.

  • Non-standardised romanisation

    Voorbeeld:

    Khmer names and place-names can follow several romanisation systems (UN/GENUNG, ALA-LC, ad hoc), so the spelling varies from one document to the next.

    Onze aanpak:

    We check the spelling of names against the source spelling and hold it consistent across the whole file.

  • Register and honorifics

    Voorbeeld:

    Khmer has a distinct royal and clerical register (Reachasap) and a clear divide between formal and colloquial speech; the wrong tone is obvious to the reader.

    Onze aanpak:

    We set the register per project, matched to the recipient and the purpose of the document.

Is Ecrivus a Khmer translation agency?
Yes, Ecrivus is a Khmer translation agency. We translate into and out of Khmer with a specialist who knows the Khmer script and the register, for both certified documents and standard business texts involving Cambodia. You keep a single point of contact for variant, terminology, scheduling and delivery, all under one quote.
Does the UK have sworn translators, and how do you certify a Khmer translation?
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). Cambodia has been a contracting party to the Hague Apostille Convention since 2023. We confirm in the quote which level your receiving authority requires.
Which documents do clients most often have translated into or from Khmer?
Common requests are personal documents (birth and marriage certificates, diplomas, civil-status records), notarial deeds and powers of attorney for inheritance or adoption involving Cambodia, and business papers such as supplier agreements. UK cases we handle often are Home Office and UKVI immigration documents and diplomas assessed by UK ENIC. We confirm the approach and any certification per document in the quote.
How does Ecrivus handle names and the Khmer script?
Khmer has several competing romanisation systems, so names can be spelled differently from one document to the next. We check the spelling against the source and hold it consistent across your whole file. Because the Khmer script strings words together without spaces between them, the text goes to a specialist who segments it correctly. Where a document requires it, a second reviewer checks the transliteration of names.
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, language pair and any required certification, and is confirmed in the quote. Khmer is a less common combination in the UK, so for certified work we prefer to plan ahead and confirm a workable schedule up front rather than promising a fixed turnaround.
Why choose a Khmer translation agency instead of finding a freelance translator yourself?
Khmer is an uncommon combination with its own script, so suitable translators are not easy to source on your own. A Khmer translation agency takes that coordination off your hands: we select the specialist who fits your document, 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 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.
