ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all, I am a French citizen and I applied to a freelance DTV in Hanoi. They sent me an email with the following: "Provide some of your projects, contracts with customers and proof of incomes translated into English." Should I do a certified/notarized translation from a professional or do you think that I can translate myself?
