Document-level translation rule
The translation decision belongs to each required document, not to the destination country alone. Enuncia checks original language, submission language and receiving authority before presenting the route.
What Enuncia can prepare
Enuncia can prepare certified translations and flag cases where an institution or authority may require stronger confirmation before submission.
Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | conditional | visa application | Required when a required Student visa document is not in English or Welsh. |
| Sworn or court-authorised translator evidence | authority_confirmation_required | receiving institution | Not verified by the UK Student visa source set. A receiving institution may ask for a stricter format separately. |
Processing route
- Identify the original languageCheck each required document individually; do not assume every document needs translation.
- Translate into the accepted submission languageFor this visa evidence set, accepted official submission languages are English or Welsh.
- Keep original and translation togetherThe translation supports the original document; later institution or professional-body use must be evaluated separately.

FAQs
Does a UK Student visa require every document to be translated?
No. Translation is tied to required documents that are not in English or Welsh.
Is sworn translation the same as certified translation?
No. This reference source verifies certified translation for the visa evidence trigger, while sworn or court-authorised requirements need separate official evidence.
