Why ELT?

One of the reasons for ELT’s success is that we have internal translators from England, the
USA and Sweden, with long and extensive professional experience. We consequently have
both the skills and capacity to translate many different kinds of texts from Swedish into
English. ELT delivers qualified translations to, among others, law offices, company lawyers,
insurance companies and public authorities. We also help private individuals to translate their
official documents. ELT’s translations can be authorised/certified according to law and
stamped with the official authorised translator stamp of the Swedish Legal, Financial and
Administrative Services Agency.

Confidentiality

Authorised translators, but not other translators, have a statutory duty of confidentiality. If
secrecy is a sensitive issue for your business or private circumstances, you should always
engage a translator who is authorised.

Avoid Middlemen

Avoid intermediaries. ELT does not operate as an
intermediary and consequently has competitive prices.

Authorised

ELT can deliver authorised translations furnished with the Swedish Legal, Financial and
Administrative Services Agency official stamp. Only authorised translators are empowered
according to law to certify the accuracy of a translation.

Express Assignments

We also undertake express assignments.
