The term "certified translation" can mean different things. when a company claims to work with certified translators or offer a certified translation service, this may mean that they offer notarized translations for official purposes, that their translators have passed an official test by a government agency, that the agency has been independently audited for compliance with a set of quality standards, or simply that the agency requires collaborating translators to pass a test. If you are told by that you need a "certified translation" (for example, to present a document to a government agency or in court), be sure to find out the exact requirements of the entity which must accept the translation. And when you are offered a "certified translation service," inquire further (Certified by whom? For what purpose?) in order to find out exactly what you'll be getting.
