affirm vs certify


Explanation:
There is a difference between 'affirm' and 'certify'. In general, you 'certify' or 'attest to' someone else's handiwork, but 'affirm' your own. 'Certifying' is usually done by a person of legal authority. If the translator's work is being OK'd by such party, 'certify' is correct. However, you'd say 'I hereby affirm the correctness of foregoing translation to the best of my knowledge and ability' if you did the translation yourself.

Explanation:
Es gibt keine allgemein gültige Beglaubigungsformel.
Es wird immer die "Richtigkeit und Vollständigkeit" bescheinigt!

Der BDÜ hat schon mal Empfehlungen rausgegeben:

"Obige Übersetzung einer mir im Original/beglaubigter Fotokopie vorgelegten, in ... Sprache abgefassten Urkunde ist richtig und vollständig."

"I hereby certify that the above translation consisting of ... page(s) is a true and correct rendering of the German document submitted to me as an original / certified copy / copy."

In welcher Sprache wolltest du denn eigentlich die Beglaubigungsformel??
Oben drüber steht zwar \"German>English\", in deiner Frage ist dagegen die Rede von \"Richtigkeit der aus der englischen Sprache vorgenommenen Übersetzung\" ...
Wenn du aus dem Englischen ins Deutsche übersetzt hast, muss die Beglaubigungsformel natürlich auf Deutsch sein usw.
Also, Beglaubigungsformel immer in der Sprache, in die du übersetzt hast!
