Translator German

Professional Translations

German-English & English-German

Google is actually quite good at translating by now! If you just need to understand a text, Google translator will probably have you covered. But whenever a text needs accuracy, creative input or is generally meant to reflect your company, a professional translator is needed. This is where people like me, who (at the moment) are still better than online translators, come in:

Expertise in a field (do not trust translators who translate "everything")
Experience
A feeling for clients' specific expressions
Cultural context
Bilingual international contracts
International audits
Localized marketing

Brand consistency or liability issues in contracts may also be critical for companies.

I can accept your texts via email and translate them fast and we can meet online via Zoom, Skype, Webex or Teams to discuss everything in person.

My service might be a bit more expensive, but pricing is always fair and you will get a translation that really fits your message.

I think while reading your source text and indicate e.g. typos.
I can work with (nearly) all file formats.
For international meeting you will get documents with 2 columns, so that everyone can easily read along.
Terminology database for consistency which I can share with you.
Legal text will get an accurate translation with comments on applicability abroad.
Marketing texts will be "transcreated", i.e re-created to fit the target market

Localization is much more than the actual translation of the text:

Cultural references (e.g. EastEnders, Fairy Liquid)
Idioms & proverbs
Number formats: million, billion, 1.000 vs 1,000
Measurements/Currency, date, time and number formats
Formality and directness: a casual or speculative text should not sound authorative or factual when translated
Space: English generally needs less space than German (important for page layout)
Definitions / regulations may differ from country to country
Effective slogans that work abroad
Knowing which words in a language have a negative connotation
SEO (Search Engine Optimizing): Adapt keywords
Adapt visuals and color choice to target audience
