In order to avoid re-cal­cu­lat­ing and re-ver­i­fy­ing the EPD again, it is pos­si­ble to pub­lish a trans­lat­ed ver­sion through the IBU. To do this, a cer­ti­fied trans­la­tion is required. Through the request for this authen­ti­ca­tion, the IBU ensures that the con­tents of the orig­i­nal EPD and the trans­la­tion are iden­ti­cal and are not mere­ly adver­tis­ing state­ments or mod­i­fied data.
The trans­la­tor may be freely select­ed, on the con­di­tion that he/she is cer­ti­fied by a notary pub­lic to issue cer­ti­fied trans­la­tions. The IBU branch office can, if nec­es­sary, pro­vide con­tact infor­ma­tion for agen­cies expe­ri­enced with EPD translations.
Aside from the choice of trans­la­tor, the trans­lat­ed Ger­man-Eng­lish and Eng­lish-Ger­man EPD con­tents must be trans­ferred to the EPD-Online Tool before the IBU pub­lish­es them. To aid in this, the branch office can set up a data record copy into or out of Eng­lish, so that the con­tents, and, in par­tic­u­lar, the tables, are already avail­able. At that point, the trans­lat­ed texts (and if nec­es­sary, the graph­ics) can be insert­ed. The cer­ti­fi­ca­tion is added as an appen­dix (the title page of the trans­la­tion, with the authen­ti­ca­tion stamp as a scan), with which it is cer­ti­fied that the trans­lat­ed con­tents from the orig­i­nal EPD have been accept­ed with­out changes.
