Maritime documents
Bills of lading, charter parties, survey reports, crew employment contracts and vessel registration documents are formulaic, but the formulas matter: a clause incorporating a charter party into a bill of lading, or a crew contract's governing-law provision, can decide a case. The translation keeps the structure and clause numbering of the original so the two can be read side by side.
Seattle's immigration court and the King County Superior Court see a different mix - Chinese, Vietnamese, Somali, Russian - translated with the certification each court requires.
