Latin Translation Services

Latin has no native speakers to ask, so a misread case ending in a deed, a church register or a motto can go unnoticed until someone relies on it. Tomedes provides Latin translation in both directions by specialists matched to the period and purpose of the text, with a second linguist reviewing every project, a 1-Year Quality Guarantee and ISO 17100:2015 certification. Choose Latin to English translation for old documents and records, or English to Latin translation for mottos, inscriptions and formal text. From about $0.15 per word.

What's the best Latin translator?

The best Latin translator is a human specialist trained in the period and genre of your text, with a second Latin linguist checking the result. Tomedes is listed among the best translation companies by The Manifest, a B2B ratings and reviews platform with verified client feedback.

L V Prasad Eye Institute worked with Tomedes for more than two years to read Old Latin surgical texts alongside five other source languages, across 19+ historical authors. Read the LVPEI case study.

Since 2022, about 6 in 10 Latin assignments at Tomedes have been Latin to English. Those lean to certificates and official documents, while English to Latin leans to personal use such as mottos and gifts.

Which kinds of Latin does Tomedes translate?

Latin changed over two thousand years, so the type of Latin decides who can translate it. Tomedes matches each text to a specialist in one of these:

  • Classical Latin: the literary standard of the late Republic and early Empire, used in Roman prose, verse and inscriptions.
  • Medieval Latin: the written Latin of the Middle Ages, used in charters, chronicles, scholarship and law, with variable spelling and abbreviations.
  • Ecclesiastical Latin: the Latin of the Roman Catholic Church, found in liturgy, church documents and parish registers.
  • Neo-Latin: Renaissance and early modern Latin, used in scholarship and science until the 18th century.
  • Legal and scientific Latin: maxims, terms of art, anatomical and taxonomic terminology.

Tomedes also provides certified translation, proofreading and editing of existing Latin, and desktop publishing for translated documents. Contact Tomedes for a free quotation.

Which fields need Latin translation?

Tomedes' Latin specialists work in the fields where Latin still appears:

Legal

Deeds, wills, charters and court records, plus Latin maxims and terms of art that need the right modern legal equivalent, translated for law firms, courts and archives.

Church and religious records

Baptism, marriage and burial entries and church documents in ecclesiastical Latin, translated with a signed certificate when an authority requires one. Latin remains in active use in the Church, and Pope Benedict XVI founded the Pontifical Academy for Latin in 2012 to promote it.

Academic and research

Theses, treatises and historical sources for universities and researchers, in classical, medieval and Neo-Latin.

Healthcare and medical history

Historical medical texts and Latin medical and pharmaceutical terminology, where accuracy carries direct consequences.

Government and archives

Archival records, official documents and heraldic text for government departments, libraries and archives, handled under strict confidentiality.

Science and nomenclature

Taxonomic, anatomical and pharmacological terms and scientific papers in Neo-Latin.

Certificates and diplomas

University diplomas, honors and civil certificates with Latin text, translated with a signed certificate of accuracy, which meets the USCIS requirement for a full English translation certified as complete and accurate.

Mottos and inscriptions

Institutional mottos, memorials and personal phrases, written or translated by a specialist and reviewed by a second linguist because inscriptions cannot be corrected later.
