Certified translation in Cardiff for use in Madagascar
Papers for Madagascar are read in French, and this route asks for that French to be produced as sworn work. Those two facts settle the shape of the job before a word is written: the language is fixed, and so is the standing of the person who may write it.
Your own record is not part of the bargain. A certified translation into French in Cardiff is made from a scan and arrives as a separate document, leaving the sheet you hold unmarked and in your possession from beginning to end.
The language Madagascar requires
French is the language, and the whole sheet is carried into it. That includes the headings, the reference number in the corner, the small print at the foot and the wording printed around a seal. Leaving out a line that looks unimportant is how a file earns a second look it did not need.
Names of people keep their printed spelling, and the British body that issued the record keeps its own name so a reader can trace it. Where an English term has no French equal — a grade, a job title, the name of a register — the plain meaning is written and the English form stays in view.
What sworn status puts on the page
A certified translation for Madagascar on this route carries a signed statement of accuracy from a sworn translator, dated and in their own name. The credential recorded is the traducteur assermenté, the sworn-translator title used for official French-language work, and it appears under the text where a reader will look for it.
Nothing of yours goes into an envelope for any of this. Where the record is a civil one, Cardiff Register Office at City Hall, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF10 3ND issues fresh certified copies of births, marriages and deaths, and an official French translation in Cardiff can be produced from that spare copy instead.
The rate and the clock
Pricing is about £25 a page and counts printed sides, so the total follows from the pile rather than from how hard the wording turns out to be. The sworn signature is part of the work and not a surcharge, and the whole figure is settled before anything is written.
Standard timing is 2–4 business days from complete scans, and express work closes in 24–48 hours. Both are given as spreads because the length of the file drives them. Booking the express lane at the start is simple; asking for it once a translator is halfway through a long record is not.
