Do you have questions about a specialist text translation for Germany?

• + Do I need a certified translation of my specialist text?

  An attestation clause legally assures the accuracy of the translation. Thus, you give a better impression with it. Authorities and offices, but also universities and even some companies, even require a translation with certification. Although we also offer a simple translation including quality control, we recommend booking a certified translation, especially for private individuals, if the translation is needed for official purposes. Translations without certification are more suitable, for example, for HR departments that have job references of potential candidates translated for internal purposes.

• + Can I translate a specialist text myself?

  There are subtle nuances and differentiations in every language which — even with a very good command of the foreign language — can hardly be adhered to and translated accurately as a layperson. In general, we therefore advise against translating certificates yourself. This weakens your credibility with your future employer and rarely makes a professional impression. You may even falsify your documents to your disadvantage. With authorities, a (usually inaccurate) translation without certification is not legally valid anyway.
  
  It is better to opt for a professional translator who is guaranteed to translate the content of your texts with perfect grammar and expression. An additional quality check by a second native specialist translator, a so-called proofreading, offers even more security and is part of the standard procedure of professional translation agencies.

• + How important is localisation for the translation of specialist texts?

  Especially with marketing texts, it is important that the content is adapted to the target language conventions. The adjustment of, among other things, weights, date formats and currencies is called localisation. This process is very important when translating marketing documents — after all, your customers should only receive correct information!

• + Do I need a certification for abroad?

  If you need to present the document to an authority, certification is usually necessary. By the way, our translations are certified by translators who are sworn in by a court in Germany and are accepted abroad as standard.

• + What do I have to pay attention to when having a text translated for a foreign country?

  If you have to submit the translation to the consulate, make sure you check whether the translation is to be done explicitly by a translator registered at the consulate. The consulate will be happy to give you information on this.
