English to Lithuanian Translation Services
Translate English documents, websites and business content into Lithuanian with attention to its seven grammatical cases, surname forms and distinct letters. We also handle Lithuanian-to-English documents when needed. Tell us whether your text is a short personal message, a certified record or content intended for customers in Lithuania.

Translate English to Lithuanian online — free text or a professional document?
For a short everyday message, an online translator can give a starting point. For a certificate, contract, healthcare record or customer-facing website, accuracy depends on grammar, context and the actual recipient.
Free English-to-Lithuanian translation
Use a free tool for informal reading or a first draft. Check the names, numbers, formal tone and Lithuanian case endings before sending anything important. Machine output is not a certified translation.

Send the complete English source, intended Lithuanian audience and any sector glossary. For official records, give the receiving organisation's instructions and ask which certification or signature format it needs.
Start professional translation orderWhy Lithuanian's seven grammatical cases change translation
English often expresses relationships with prepositions and word order. Lithuanian also changes the endings of nouns and adjectives according to grammatical case. A literal word-for-word conversion can create the wrong meaning or an unnatural sentence.
| English meaning | Lithuanian example | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| Vilnius (city name) | Vilnius | Base form / nominative |
| In Vilnius | Vilniuje | Locative: a location |
| To Vilnius | Į Vilnių | Direction with a changed ending |
| From Vilnius | Iš Vilniaus | Genitive after iš |
These examples explain grammar, not how to rewrite a formal place-name field. On a passport, certificate or registered company name, the official recorded form should be reproduced as required by the context.
Business, legal and product text
Case endings affect contracts, product descriptions, terms and marketing copy. Translating a short heading or interface button often requires checking the sentence around it—not just looking up each English word.
Proper names and addresses
Names can take inflection in ordinary Lithuanian sentences, but the exact spelling on a birth certificate, passport or civil register must not be changed without a documented reason. Keep source-form names identifiable in certified records.
Don't treat -aitė, -ienė and -ė as spelling errors
Lithuanian surnames can have different conventional forms. Under the State Commission of the Lithuanian Language's rules, forms including -aitė / -ytė and -ienė are used in women's surnames, while a neutral -ė form is also available in relevant cases. These are not interchangeable versions to be “corrected” by a translator.
A surname may have several legitimate forms
For example, official linguistic rules illustrate Urbas → Urbaitė and Urbonas → Urbonienė as different surname-formation examples. The forms should not be mixed up or treated as proof that two people are related.
Translation instruction: copy the individual's documented legal name accurately and flag any mismatch with the English source or passport.
Accents and letters must not disappear
These are distinct Lithuanian letters, not decoration. Losing ė or š may change a person's surname, a location or a legal reference. Match original records and preferred or official spellings carefully.
Lithuanian website translation: grammar, tone and interface terms
Lithuanian digital content needs locally appropriate commands, customer support wording and sentence structure. For public-facing content, select a consistent brand voice rather than replacing English words mechanically.
| English UI text | Common Lithuanian wording | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Submit | Pateikti | Forms; the best word can vary by what is submitted |
| Save | Išsaugoti | Saving a file or changes |
| Privacy policy | Privatumo politika | Privacy or data handling page |
| Terms and conditions | Taisyklės ir sąlygos | General policy text; legal review may be needed |
Formal Jūs or informal tu?
Lithuanian differentiates formal and informal address. A consumer app aimed at young audiences may have a different tone from a government-facing policy or formal B2B email. A consistent form of address matters across checkout pages, emails and help centres.
- Product interfaces and navigation with consistent action labels
- Policies, terms and personal-data wording with legal context
- Marketing messages adapted to Lithuanian audience and register
- Business reports, contracts and internal documentation
English-to-Lithuanian certificates, legal documents and academic records
The correct translation depends on the source, language direction, and recipient. UK-issued documents used in Lithuania can have different certification, notarisation or legalisation requirements from Lithuanian records submitted to the UK.
Birth and marriage certificates
Translate all source fields, registration details, name spellings, dates and stamps. Ask the Lithuanian recipient whether an original, certified translation, notarised copy or multilingual form is accepted.
Academic transcripts and qualifications
Degree names, modules, grades and institutions should be translated faithfully. Do not invent a Lithuanian qualification equivalence without an assessor's decision.
Legal contracts and statements
Terms for parties, obligations, dates and legal procedures need precise Lithuanian wording and a clear understanding of the intended jurisdiction.
Employment and corporate records
Letters, company records and financial statements for Lithuanian organisations may need consistent formal terminology and registered names.
Healthcare and personal documents
Clinical terminology, prescription information and personal identifiers should be translated accurately with appropriate handling of sensitive data.
Litigation, immigration and certification
Where a receiving body requests an accuracy statement or other formalities, confirm its instructions rather than assuming every certified translation has the same legal status.
How to order English-to-Lithuanian translation
Document translation, UI localisation and short text require different briefs. Three practical steps help us review the actual work.
Provide the complete source
Upload the English file, web strings or screenshots. For official documents, include the reverse side and visible seals or annotations.
Specify recipient and language use
Explain whether the output is for a Lithuanian authority, employer, business audience, website or personal communication. Flag name spellings, formal address and terminology.
Agree requirements and delivery
Confirm any signed accuracy statement, notarial stage, file format and deadline. Price and timing depend on length, specialism, formatting and availability.
Audio translation is a different job. If you have a Lithuanian recording, you may need Lithuanian transcription and translated transcripts, not English-to-Lithuanian document translation.
English to Lithuanian translation FAQs
How can I translate English to Lithuanian online for free?
For everyday text you can try Google Translate as a starting point. Check the full sentence, Lithuanian grammatical endings, names and tone. An automatic translation is not a certified translation suitable for official submissions.
Why do Lithuanian words change endings in translation?
Lithuanian has seven grammatical cases. A place name such as Vilnius becomes Vilniuje for “in Vilnius” and Vilnių after į for “to Vilnius”. The correct form follows the meaning of the sentence, not a word-for-word English mapping.
What are the special Lithuanian letters?
The distinctive letters are ą, č, ę, ė, į, š, ų, ū and ž. They should be preserved in Lithuanian names and words where required. Removing them can introduce spelling errors or inconsistencies in identity documents.
Are Lithuanian surnames ending in -aitė or -ienė mistakes?
No. Lithuanian surname formation can use endings such as -aitė, -ytė and -ienė, alongside other forms. A neutral -ė ending may also be used in relevant circumstances. Preserve the exact recorded legal surname; do not invent or change it based on assumptions.
Do you translate English websites and apps into Lithuanian?
Yes, you can request translation of website content, interface strings, emails and product materials. Share context, audience, terminology and any character limits so action labels and formality are handled consistently.
Should a Lithuanian website address customers with Jūs or tu?
Jūs is commonly used for formal address and tu for informal address. The choice depends on brand voice, audience and context. Consistency is important; do not assume the English “you” maps to one form in every situation.
Can you translate English certificates for use in Lithuania?
You can request Lithuanian translations of English-language certificates and other records. The receiving Lithuanian institution decides whether a particular certified, notarised or apostilled document is required. Confirm those requirements before ordering.
Do you provide certified Lithuanian-to-English translations for UKVI?
For Lithuanian documents used in UK applications, request the reverse direction through our Lithuanian certified translation service. Check the relevant immigration route's rules for accuracy wording, translator identification and any supporting documents.
What is the difference between Lithuanian translation and transcription?
Translation converts written meaning between languages. Transcription turns recorded speech into written text, which may then be translated separately. Audio files need a different workflow and brief.
How much and how quickly can English text be translated into Lithuanian?
Price and turnaround depend on volume, content type, terminology, file format, certification and availability. Upload your document or project details so the required scope and delivery date can be reviewed.
