Authorized translators are used to produce certified translations, which are translations with the signature and stamp of the translator/court interpreter so that the translation can be officially recognized in various institutions. Courts in the Republic of Croatia, as well as in many other countries, appoint persons who have certain professional qualifications and who have passed the professional exams and prescribed training for court interpreters, so-called permanent court interpreters. Court interpreters are appointed for a period of 4 years, after which they can be re-elected if they meet all the prescribed conditions. The appointment is determined by a decision of the competent court. On the basis of this decision, court interpreters create their own special seal, which confirms the identity of the translation with the original text. They are obliged to record all their work in the so-called Translation and Certification Diary, in which they enter all prescribed information about the client and the type of translation. Translation and Certification Diary it is submitted to the court for review, since court interpreters are authorized to make certified translations and in a certain language combination, in spoken language they are often called 'authorized translators', 'court translators' or 'licensed translators'.
