German translation services by native German translators
Considering doing business in a German-speaking country? Don’t just rely on English. Since customers prefer to buy in their language, you’ll need to seek out professional German translation services to remove any barriers. Our specialized translators are native speakers, ensuring flawless results and that world-renowned German quality.
The beauty of the German language
One of the fascinating things about German is that you can convey elaborate ideas with just a single word. While many learners find the grammar and compound words complex, they make the language flexible and creative. There are currently about 110 million German speakers worldwide. It is an official language in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein. Leading industries in these countries include technology, real estate and construction, education, food processing and tourism.
Translating German to English (and the other way around)
Translating from and into German presents many challenges only qualified linguists can resolve. For instance, you’ll find numerous examples of local German variations – even within Germany. Dialects such as Berlinerisch (Berlin), Bairisch (Bavarian), Österreichisches Deutsch (Austrian German) and Schwiizerdütsch (Swiss German) have different vocabulary and exceptions to standard grammatical rules. Some are considered a language in their own right. Opting for professional German translation services allows you to work with a native who’s skilled in handling these distinctions, adapting them into perfect English translations.
Leading German translation agency
If you’re translating into German, it’s highly likely your text will be longer. Our desktop publishing service ensures your translation fits into the original or modified layout. Web localization and subtitling experts can also reflect your message while adhering to character limits.
As a translation company, we offer German document translation and other solutions from and into over 40 languages, including Danish, Japanese, Polish, Russian and Spanish.
Did you know that…
Swiss German replaces the German ligature ß with ss. For example: ‘Straße’ > ‘Strasse’ (‘street’). Also, many Swiss will call a mobile phone ‘Natel’, while to Germans, it is a ‘Handy’ – good to know if this term is important for your business and you want to optimise your SEO strategy.

Questions & Answers
How much do you charge for German translation?
Prices for translation services vary based on the nature of the document, file format, specialism, deadline and other project requirements. As we work with technology to save you time and money, we’ll need an editable file to maintain the formatting in the translated materials. We can convert files (e.g., PDF to Word), but this will increase the turnaround time and cost.
My document hasn’t been finalized. Can I get an estimate quote?
When will I receive the translation?
When we receive your request, we’ll consider several factors. Turnaround times depend on the number of words to translate, the format, content, reference materials, etc. We’ll let you know how long it will take to translate your documents.
Will my information and documents be kept confidential?
Your materials and data are safe with us and will only be used to carry out the agreed services.
What are ISO 17100:2015 and ISO 18587 certifications?
The ISO 17100:2015 certification provides requirements for delivering a high-quality translation service. ISO 18587 covers full machine translation (MT) post-editing (correcting texts by an MT engine to the same quality as a professional translation). We adhere to the processes laid out by these international standards.
My colleague is bilingual and will translate the files. Could you proofread them?
While native editors and proofreaders are available, we recommend working with trained professionals from the outset. This eliminates delays and any extra work for your team.
Can I start a project during the weekend?
