Translate Israeli documents to English

Translate as day, month, year in the Hebrew calendar and add the Gregorian date in brackets. Never convert silently.

Keep digits exactly as written (DD/MM/YYYY). For US readers, state the date format once in the translator note.

Use passport spelling when known. Otherwise transliterate with one consistent scheme and keep it identical across all of a family's documents.

Keep the 9-digit Israeli ID number with its check digit and leading zeros. Never reformat, mask or shorten.

Keep NIS and the amount exactly as written. No conversion, no rounding.

Expand common Hebrew abbreviations to their English equivalent.

Hebrew reads right to left. Mirror the layout to left to right while keeping each block in place. Re-check table columns after mirroring.

Keep stamps and signatures in position. Put legible stamp text in brackets; mark the rest.

Use the institution's own official English name, with the Hebrew name transliterated on first use.

Transliterate street and city names; do not translate their meaning. Translate the street-type word only.

Transliterate and add a short bracketed explanation on first use.

Translate handwritten additions and mark them.

Translate everything; add nothing, omit nothing, summarize nothing. Leave empty fields empty.

Hebrew forms are gendered. Translate neutrally unless the document states the person's sex.

End with a short note: source language, date format, transliteration scheme and any bracketed explanations used.
