A bridge between Turkish and Romanian.
Lexivo translates documents, contracts and technical files from Turkish into Romanian and back, signed by a certified translator, with notarisation and apostille through a notary’s office. And to people moving from Turkey, we teach Romanian, so they no longer need a translator.

LINE 01 / 05BOSPHORUS, İSTANBUL
This is what a line translated for the screen looks like. For 8 years, Olga Cristina Özarslan has been translating and adapting Turkish TV series for Kanal D Romania.
Romanian and Turkish share hundreds of words. We translate the rest.
Who translates
Olga Cristina Özarslan
At Lexivo, you don’t hand your documents to an anonymous agency. You hand them to a person who lives between the two languages every day: she translates them, signs them and takes responsibility for them.
Olga translates from Turkish into Romanian and from Romanian into Turkish: legal documents, contracts, technical documentation. She is recognised by the Turkish Embassy for legal documents, superlegalisation and apostille, and translated documents can be notarised and apostilled in cooperation with a notary’s office.
She studied architecture, so a technical specification or a conversation on a building site doesn’t faze her. She holds a trainer’s qualification recognised by the Romanian Ministry of Labour and Ministry of Education and teaches Romanian to Turkish and English speakers. And for 8 years she has been translating and adapting the Turkish series broadcast by Kanal D Romania.

What we do
Six ways to get to the other side.
From a birth certificate to a site meeting or an episode of a TV series. Choose the chapter that concerns you.
- 01
Certified translation
Civil status documents, diplomas, court rulings, powers of attorney, contracts. Translated and signed by a certified translator, from or into Turkish.
- 02
Notarisation and apostille
The translated document goes on to a notary’s office for notarisation, then for an apostille or superlegalisation, so that it is accepted in Turkey or in Romania.
- 03
Consecutive interpreting
In meetings, negotiations or visits, the interpreter translates after each speaker, so everyone understands exactly what was said.
- 04
Construction and architecture
Drawings, technical reports, construction contracts, conversations on site. Translated by someone who studied architecture.
- 05
Romanian courses
For Turkish and English speakers: in groups or one-to-one, for individuals or for a company’s employees.
- 06
Vehicle power of attorney for Turkey
Driving to Turkey in a company car or a car that belongs to someone else? The power of attorney form, filled in by you or your company, then the translation.

Documents for the embassyKonsolosluk ve büyükelçilik işlemleri
The list is for guidance only. Which documents you need, and in what form, is decided by the institution where you submit them; we help you get there with the right translation.
How we work
A document’s journey, from photo to apostille.
Four stops. Some documents stop after the second, others go all the way. We tell you from the start how far yours needs to go.
STEP 01
You send us the document
A clear photo or a scan, on WhatsApp. Tell us which institution you need it for and by when.
STEP 02
We translate and sign
The certified translation, from Turkish into Romanian or the other way round, with the translator’s signature.
STEP 03
Notarisation
If the institution requires it, the translation is notarised in cooperation with a notary’s office.
STEP 04
Apostille
For documents going abroad: an apostille or superlegalisation, as the case may be.
Not sure what to ask for? Send a photo of the document and tell us where you’re submitting it. We’ll take care of the rest.
Send your document on WhatsAppIn short
Apostille or superlegalisation?
Two words that scare everyone. The difference, explained without the bureaucratic jargon.
The Hague Convention
The apostille
A special stamp placed on a public document, confirming that the signature and seal on it are genuine. Any state that has signed the Hague Convention recognises it without further checks.
- applies to public documents
- Romania and Turkey have both joined the Convention
- usually the shortest route
Through an embassy or consulate
Superlegalisation
A chain of confirmations a document goes through when the apostille does not apply (consular legalisation): the authority that issued it, the ministry, then the diplomatic mission of the country where it will be used.
- for documents or situations where an apostille is not enough
- more steps and more offices
- we tell you from the start whether it applies to you
Recognised by the Turkish Embassy
Olga Cristina Özarslan is recognised by the Turkish Embassy for legal documents, superlegalisation and apostille. When your document has to go through there, we already know the way.
Construction and architecture
On a building site, one wrong word costs concrete.
Translation and consecutive interpreting for construction and architecture, by someone who studied architecture. Tap the labels on the drawing.
“A drawing reads the same in any language. The conversation about it doesn’t.”
- Consecutive interpreting at project meetings, negotiations with contractors, site visits
- Technical documentation: reports, specifications, material specifications
- Construction contracts and correspondence between Romanian and Turkish companies
- Drawings and legends, with the correct technical terms in both languages
Subtitling and adaptation
8years
of translating and adapting the Turkish TV series on Kanal D Romania.
A line of dialogue in a series has a second and a half to be read. It has to fit on two lines, sound natural in Romanian and keep everything the character meant to say: the irony, the tenderness, the threat. That is adaptation, not just translation.
A company document, a speech or a video presentation that needs to reach a Romanian or Turkish audience gets the same attention.

The rhythm of the line
The text comes in and goes out with the voice, so you can read it without missing the picture.
Two lines, not three
Every line is shortened until it fits, without losing its meaning.
Jokes that stay jokes
Turkish expressions are adapted into their Romanian equivalent, not translated word for word.
Try it yourself
Translated word for word, it sounds odd. Adapted, it sounds Romanian.
Five Turkish expressions. Flip the switch and see the difference between a dictionary and a translator.
Pireyi deve yapmak
PI-REI DE-VE IAP-MAK
A face din purice cămilăA face din țânțar armăsar
When someone blows a small problem out of proportion.
Ağzı kulaklarında
AA-ZÎ KU-LAK-LA-RÎN-DA
Are gura la urechiZâmbește până la urechi
When someone is very happy.
Kulak misafiri olmak
KU-LAK MI-SA-FI-RI OL-MAK
A fi musafirul urechiiA trage cu urechea
When you overhear, without meaning to, a conversation that wasn’t meant for you.
Etekleri zil çalmak
E-TEK-LE-RI ZIL CEAL-MAK
Îi sună clopoței la poaleNu-și mai încape în piele de bucurie
When someone can barely contain their excitement.
Göz kulak olmak
GÖZ KU-LAK OL-MAK
A fi ochi și urecheA avea grijă de cineva
When you keep a watchful eye on someone or something.
And your document?
A contract or a court ruling has its own expressions too. We translate them so they say exactly what the original says, no more, no less.

Frequently asked questions
What people ask us.
Another question? Write to us on WhatsApp, in Romanian, Turkish or English.
Ask on WhatsAppWhat does “certified translation” mean?
It is a translation made and signed by a translator certified for that language. Institutions in Romania usually require this type of translation for documents issued abroad, and they often also require it to be notarised.
How do I send you the documents?
The easiest way is a clear photo or a scan on WhatsApp, at +40 722 315 273. Based on it, we tell you what translation you need, whether notarisation or an apostille is required, and how long it takes.
Can the translation be notarised and apostilled?
Yes. All translated documents can be notarised and apostilled in cooperation with a notary’s office. We tell you from the start whether the institution you are going to requires notarisation, an apostille or superlegalisation.
How long does it take and how much does it cost?
It depends on the number of pages, the type of document and the steps after translation (notarisation, apostille). Send us the document and you get the exact price and turnaround time before we start.
Do you also translate from Romanian into Turkish?
Yes, in both directions: from Turkish into Romanian and from Romanian into Turkish, including documents going to institutions in Turkey.
Can you come and interpret at a meeting?
Yes, we provide consecutive interpreting, including for construction and architecture: project meetings, negotiations, site visits. Tell us the date, place and subject of the meeting.
How are the Romanian courses organised?
In groups or one-to-one, for individuals or for a company’s employees. We agree on the format, starting level and schedule together when you enrol. Explanations can be given in Turkish or English.
Can I write in Turkish or English?
Yes. Türkçe yazabilirsiniz. You can also write to us in English. We reply in the language you write in.
Do you work with companies long-term?
Yes. Companies with partners or employees from Turkey send us contracts, correspondence and documentation, bring us in as interpreters for meetings and enrol their employees in Romanian courses. We agree together on how we work.
What does “recognised by the Turkish Embassy” mean?
Olga Cristina Özarslan is recognised by the Turkish Embassy for legal documents, superlegalisation and apostille. For documents that have to go through the embassy, we know in advance what is required.
