Translating your CV for international job applications
Are you applying to an international company, or do you want to work abroad? Then a smoothly translated CV helps you convey your strengths clearly to a foreign employer. At Ecrivus International you have your curriculum vitae translated by an experienced translator who speaks the target language as their mother tongue and knows how job titles, qualifications and application conventions work in the destination country. You order the translation easily online from €39.
Why have your CV translated professionally
A literal or machine translation often misses the right professional terminology and the tone recruiters expect. A professional translator chooses the common terms for your roles and qualifications and keeps the text persuasive and easy to read. That way your work experience comes across just as strongly in the target language as in Dutch. A sworn translation is usually not needed for a CV in most cases. A polished professional translation is enough for a job application.
What we pay attention to in your CV translation
We make your CV not only linguistically correct, but also suited to the conventions of the country where you are applying.
- Culturally and regionally appropriate: in the United Kingdom it is called a CV, while in the United States and Canada it is often a resume, with different expectations.
- No unnecessary personal details: in the US and Canada, information such as date of birth and a photo is usually left out, because it is uncommon there.
- Consistent terminology for job titles, qualifications and diplomas, so a recruiter understands your background straight away.
- A smooth, persuasive tone that matches the application style of the target language.

Frequently asked questions about translating a CV
How do you translate a CV into English?
Besides a good translation of the text, it comes down to the right terminology and structure. In British English your CV is simply a CV or curriculum vitae, while in American English a resume is more common. Our translator chooses the common terms for your roles and qualifications and tailors the style to the country where you are applying.
Is a CV the same as a resume?
Not entirely. The word resume comes from the French résumé and means summary, while curriculum vitae is Latin for course of life. In the United States a resume is usually a short summary and a CV is a more detailed, often academic overview. When translating, we take into account what is customary in your destination country.
Does a CV need a sworn translation?
For a CV a sworn translation is usually not required. A polished professional translation is enough for most job applications. For official documents such as diplomas or transcripts, the receiving party may sometimes still request a sworn translation.
Into which languages can you translate my CV?
English is the most requested language, but you can also have your CV translated into many other languages. You choose the desired language combination when ordering.
What does it cost to have my CV translated?
A CV translation at Ecrivus International starts from €39. The exact price depends on the number of words and the chosen language combination, which you select when ordering.
