Forum Language Services
Since 2004, we've proudly been an authorised company offering official translation services or your business by virtue of contract 1920 with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bulgaria.
Fusion of Wor(l)ds
Our vision is inspired by the Roman forums – the beating hearts of Ancient Rome as well as of the provincial cities across the Empire. There, trade, religion, politics, law, and culture intertwined. The forum was a place for encounters, exchange of ideas, and the building of community.
In the same spirit, we create a space where people’s worlds and their languages meet. Our mission is to be mediators of communication, weaving together meanings and worlds to enable free connection and growth.
Translation is not merely the transfer of words, but the building of bridges. Every word is a brick in the architecture of communication. These bricks are laid slowly and with care – just as Rome was not built in a day, lasting partnerships are built with consistency, dedication, and a vision for the future.
Our Services
Official Translations
At Forum Language Services, we provide high-quality official translations in over 38 languages, valid for use in Bulgaria and abroad.
Our experienced project managers and expert translators can process, translate, apostille, and legalize your official documents. With over 20 years of professional experience, we deliver accurate translations at competitive, industry-leading rates.
We handle a wide range of materials, including specialised documents, business and career-related texts, legal documents, wills, financial papers, court records, academic papers, scientific articles, studies, books, and personal documents such as diplomas, transcripts, certificates, and birth certificates.
Our translations are accepted for all official purposes in Bulgaria, including by the courts, government agencies, municipalities, ministries, and their departments.
Legalisation of documents
In addition to the official translation, your documents may need an Apostille or other official certification implemented by a specific ministry or other official authority in Bulgaria. We can save you a lot of time and nerves and perform these administrative procedures for you. Rely on our 20 year professional experience. We have a permit from the Consular department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to perform official translations and legalisations upon contract no. 1920 / 28.12.2012.
Interpreting
Forum Language Services offers several types of interpreting services, both on location and remotely. Our interpreting services are tailored to your specific requirements. Interpreting is an incredibly complex profession.
Forum Language Services offers several types of interpretation services - simultaneous and consecutive, both on-site and at a distance, regardless of whether it concerns making a statement or a transaction before a Notary Public, or you are about to organise a conference, symposium or other official event that requires the use of translation equipment.
Taking the spoken word and rendering it in another language instantaneously requires "acrobatic skills", putting enormous pressure on interpreters to match a speaker’s message, speed of speaking, tonal and emotional register, without consulting dictionaries and glossaries. Event organisers of all kinds have long struggled over the question of how best to make conversations work across languages. Is it best to give an interpreter the chance to repeat consecutively each statement as they go, or should they be asked to interpret simultaneously as the respective parties speak? The answer is that different types of interpreting suit different problems. We will advise you on which type of interpretation will suit you best. At Forum Language Services, we provide interpretation services from linguistic experts with the specific background knowledge in your sector, guaranteeing a perfect interpretation every time.
