Accreditation of Translators

Accreditation of translators is the certification of competence of translators by private or parastatal translation organizations in various countries, based on a variety of requirements. These often include a written examination to attest to the translator's skill.

Such accreditations often have no legal effect, and their value lies in the esteem that the translation organization enjoys as an independent authority on good translation.

Most translators' organizations refer to this "stamp of approval" as "accreditation," though the American Translators Association's accreditation system is called "certification."
