Case study

In Q1 2025 a client based in Thailand → Cambodia preparing a AU-820-PARTNER bundle ordered certified Afrikaans translation of official documents alongside a police clearance. The full bundle (11 documents) was translated, second-linguist reviewed and despatched by overnight courier to Thailand → Cambodia within 48 hours. Cambodia authorities accepted the lodgement on the first review with no follow-up on the translation chain. This case is representative of our 97.4% first-pass acceptance rate for Thailand → Cambodia Afrikaans translation files in 2025 (n=7,124).
