Case Study: Multilingual Property Document Translation – Delhi Region

How we helped a property buyer in Delhi translate and certify Hindi property documents — enabling for VISA approval

Client Overview

Our client was a property owner based in the Delhi region of India. They had entered into a translation of a property document that involved a Visitor Visa to Canada.

The set of documents included a sale agreement in English and registration papers in Hindi — a mixed-language scenario that required expert handling. Because the transaction had time-sensitive financing and compliance requirements, translation and certification of all documents became a critical step in their process.

Given the location (Delhi-NCR) and the nature of the deal, the multilingual document challenge was significant. The client was not just dealing with typical property paperwork but was also tied to mortgage timelines, bank verification and legal registration mandates. Their situation demanded a reliable translation partner with experience in real-estate law, document certification and bilingual (Hindi ↔ English) legal translation.

Challenge

The primary challenge stemmed from the mixed-language nature of the documentation. The sale agreement was drafted in English, but key registration and transfer documents were in Hindi — some of them handwritten or in older script form. This introduced multiple hurdles:

• Language complexity & legal terminology: Translating legal real-estate terminology (ownership rights, encumbrances, joint-developer clauses, registration references) across Hindi and English without loss of meaning or nuance is demanding. As others working in Delhi have noted, certified translation of legal documents demands subject-matter expertise, not simply fluency.
• Mixed-script and legacy documentation: The presence of handwritten Hindi scripts, older formatting, or partially degraded print meant the translation team had to interpret the original carefully, ensure legibility, standardise the layout, and render the English equivalent in a format acceptable to the registration authority.
• Tight deadline due to mortgage process: The bank’s mortgage approval and disbursement were contingent on the submission of certified translations of all necessary property documents. Any delay in translation would result in financing delays, jeopardising the timely closing of the property transaction.
• Regulatory/registration risk: In the Delhi region, the land-registry and registration office require documents to be submitted in the correct language version, properly certified and formatted. A flawed translation could lead to rejection, back-and-forth requests for amendments, extra cost and time. The stakes were therefore high.

Our Solution



To address these challenges, we provided a structured, high-quality solution leveraging our bilingual legal-translation capabilities in the Delhi region.

1. Dedicated native-speaker legal translators
   We assigned translators who are native speakers of both Hindi and English, and who have a strong background in real-estate law and property-document translation. Their experience ensures precise legal terminology translation, avoiding ambiguity or misinterpretation.
   Established translation firms in Delhi emphasise this kind of specialist configuration: “Native Hindi translators with legal subject-matter expertise” are the key to accurate certified translation.
2. Certified translation process & formatting
   Every translated document was provided as a certified version — complete with a certificate of accuracy/affidavit, translator signature, stamp and formatted to coincide with the original document layout for ease of submission. We ensured the translations matched the required format of the registration office and bank-mortgage submission.

3. Legal review of key sections
   Our process included a review phase specific to property-document elements: ownership clauses, transfer schedules, encumbrance details, registration numbers, rights of way, developer/assignor/assignee language and regional registration norms (Delhi). This review reinforced accuracy and contextual alignment with local registration practices.
4. Delivery in submission-ready format with full support
   We delivered both digital (PDF) and printed versions, as required by the client and authorities. The final output included the certified translation and aligned original sections side-by-side where helpful (for submission convenience).We also provided hard copies of the same upon request
