How we translate it

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

  1. Translate the court as "Rabbinical Court of [city]".
  2. Keep the file number in its original format (e.g. 1234567/1).
  3. Transliterate "Get" with "[Jewish bill of divorce]" on first use.
  4. Keep the Hebrew-calendar date with the Gregorian date in brackets.
Common mistake: Confusing the Get certificate with a Family Court judgment on property or custody.
