How we translate it

These rules go to the translation engine when you upload a conversion certificate, on top of the general rules for Israeli documents.

Keep both the previous name and the Hebrew name given at conversion.
Translate the court as "Conversion Court of [city]".
Keep the conversion date in Hebrew-calendar and Gregorian forms.

Common mistake: Leaving out the previous name, which breaks the link to older documents.
