Which Portuguese ends up on the page

Portuguese is an official language in countries on three continents, and its everyday core is shared throughout. What is not shared is the administrative layer: the names of courts, ministries, qualifications and company forms grew up separately in each country and settled differently. A certified translation for Angola is written with that layer set to Angolan usage, so an Angolan reader meets the vocabulary of their own system.

The language Angola requires

A certified translation into Portuguese in Leicester is required for a document that will be used in Angola, and there is no route around it for an English page. The English source is not replaced or amended; it stays exactly as it was issued, and the Portuguese version is produced alongside it. Nothing on your original is crossed out, restated or brought up to date by this work.

The certification behind the words

The Portuguese carries a certificate of accuracy, signed and dated by a professional certified translator, which names the document and states that the two versions correspond. Because a named person stands behind the wording, a choice of vocabulary is a considered one rather than an accident. That is the practical reason variety matters here: somebody has put their name to the words, including the ones they picked between.

Per-page cost and turnaround

An official Portuguese translation in Leicester costs £25 a page, with standard delivery in 2–3 business days and an express route at 24 hours. Choosing the Angolan variety adds nothing to either figure; it is a matter of the translator's judgement, not of extra labour. A page is a page whichever country's Portuguese it ends up in, and the express route is priced on speed alone rather than on the difficulty of the wording.
